What to do if there is no sound in Yandex Browser

The reasons why there is no sound in the browser can be very different. Let's consider them in order.

Volume setting

One of the simplest, but at the same time common reasons is the disconnection or low volume of sound on the computer, which gives the impression that it is not there. In this case, there is no sound not only in Yandex Browser, but also in all other programs.

To adjust the volume:

1. At the bottom of the screen on the right we find the speaker icon. By clicking on it, we open the volume mixer.

2. Grab the slider with the left mouse button and move it to the maximum value (100%).

   

   Set the maximum speaker volume in the audio mixer

3. Checking the sound in the browser.

If there is no sound icon in the tray (notification area on the taskbar), proceed as follows:

1. Right-click on the taskbar and select Properties.

   

   In the context menu of the taskbar, select "Properties"

2. In the properties window of the taskbar, click the "Configure" button next to the settings for icons in the notification area.

   

   To adjust the volume icon, press the "Configure" button

3. In the list of icons in the notification area, find "Volume", select "Show icon" and click "OK". After that, a schematic image of the speaker will appear in the tray, with which you can adjust the sound on the computer.

   

   Choose to show the icon and click "OK"

Restarting your browser or computer

Sometimes the reason for the silence is a browser crash or a conflict between various system services, processes and applications. In this case, the problem can be solved by simply restarting the browser or computer:

1. Close the browser and then start it again.
2. Check the sound.
3. If there are no changes, close all running applications and restart your computer.

To close the application:

1. Open the "Task Manager", for example, by pressing the key combination Ctrl + Shift + Escape.

2. Go to the Processes tab.

   

   In the "Task Manager" in the "Processes" tab, find applications that are not currently in use

3. Find the unwanted application in the list.
4. Right-click on it and select End Process.

Closing unnecessary tabs and applications

Sometimes the sound in the browser does not disappear at all, but is interrupted, distorted and slows down. Most often, the reason is associated with a high load on the processor and RAM, but it can also be due to the low speed of the Internet connection. And if nothing can be done with the latter, then closing unnecessary programs and tabs in the browser will not be difficult, and it will benefit the sound quality.

Troubleshooting with a dedicated utility

In the Windows operating system, you can use built-in software to troubleshoot sound problems, which will either fix the problem by restoring the sound, or indicate the reason for its absence.

For Windows 7:

1. Click first "Start" and then "Control Panel".

   

   In the lower left corner of the screen, click the "Start" button and in the window select "Control Panel"

2. Put the view on "Small icons" in the upper right corner of the window. Select "Troubleshoot" from the list.

   

   In the "Control Panel" find the item "Troubleshoot"

3. In the window that opens, find the "Hardware and Sound" category and click on "Troubleshoot audio playback".

   

   In the "Troubleshoot" window, we find "Troubleshoot audio playback problems"

4. The system will prompt you to diagnose and prevent problems with your computer. We agree and click the "Next" button.

   

   To confirm your desire to conduct diagnostics, click the "Next" button

5. In the next window, you need to check the box next to the device whose problems you want to fix. Select the speakers you are using from the list provided.

   

   Select the device you are using from the list provided

6. Diagnostics will take a few minutes. Then the system will name the cause of the problems, if they are identified, and also inform you if it was possible to fix them.

   

   After the scan is complete, you can view additional information about the issue with a troubleshooting report

In Windows 8 and 10, the process of launching the Sound Troubleshooter is greatly simplified:

1. Right-click on the speaker icon in the tray.
2. Select "Troubleshoot Sound" from the list provided.
3. Wait for the system scan to finish for audio hardware problems.

Scanning your computer for viruses

Computer viruses rarely cause no sound (they usually have other tasks). But nevertheless, it is worth checking the PC with an antivirus program:

1. Run a system scan in the installed antivirus program.
2. If a threat is found, clean the system from infection.
3. Restart your computer and check the sound.

Adobe Flash Player update

Another reason why there may be no sound in the browser is an outdated version of Adobe Flash Player. In this case, it must be updated to the current version. This can be done as follows:

1. Go to the "Control Panel" through the "Start" menu. Select Flash Player (32 bit).

   

   In the Control Panel window, find and select Flash Player (32 bit)

2. In the Flash Player Settings Manager, go to the Updates tab and click the Check Now button.

   

   To check the current version of Flash Player, click the Check Now button

3. This action will redirect to the official Adobe Flash Player site. In the table, select the Windows OS and the Opera browser, Chromium-based browsers - PPAPI (this is the line that is relevant for Yandex Browser running on the Chrome engine). In the last column we find the current version of the player.

   

   Find the current version of Adobe Flash Player in the table on the official website

4. To compare with the version of Adobe Flash Player installed on your computer, enter browser: // plugins in the address bar and find the version of the player.

   

   Compare the value of the current version from the official website and installed on the computer

5. If the values are different, the player should be updated. You can do this on the official website, following the instructions of the developer.

Disabling Turbo Mode

Sometimes problems with sound can occur due to the operating mode "Turbo", which speeds up the Internet connection. If the mode is enabled, try to disable it and then check the sound.

How to turn off Turbo mode:

1. Open the Yandex Browser start page and select the Add-ons tab.
2. Further "Tools".

3. Next to the "Turbo" mode, click the "Off" button.

   

   Sound problems may be caused by Turbo mode

4. Check the sound.

Check and update drivers

The lack of sound may be due to outdated and incorrectly working drivers. In this case, they must be updated or reinstalled.

To update your drivers:

1. We go to "Start" and "Control Panel". Open the "Device Manager".

   

   Selecting "Device Manager"

2. In its window we find the section "Sound, video and game devices". Click on the triangle next to the section to open the list of devices. A sign of incorrect driver installation can be a red cross or a yellow triangle near the device.

   

   Find audio devices and open the context menu

3. Right-click on the desired device. In the context menu, pay attention to the line "Disable". If it is present, then the device is working. If the "Enable" item is active, enable the audio device by clicking the left mouse button on the line.

4. In the context menu, select device properties and go to the "Driver" tab. Click the "Update" button.

   

   On the "Driver" tab, click the "Update" button

5. Updating drivers can be done manually or automatically. The last option is simpler. To execute it, you just need to left-click on the corresponding field and follow the instructions of the system.

   

   Select automatic search for updated drivers by left-clicking on the field

If updating the drivers did not work, you can proceed as follows:

1. In the context menu of the device, select the "Delete" item. Confirm your choice.

   

   Removing the driver will allow the operating system to reinstall it

2. Close programs and restart your computer. At startup, the operating system will automatically install the driver.

If this method did not help either, download the drivers from the official website of the computer.

1. To view the information, open the device properties again (in the context menu). Go to the "Details" tab. From the drop-down list "Property" select "Equipment ID".

   

   To select and install drivers, you must determine the identifier (ID) of the device

2. In the "Value" section, copy the data and drive it into the search engine line.

   

   Copy the ID value to the clipboard, and then enter it as a query in Google or "Yandex" and thus find the required driver

3. On the search engine results, we find the official website. Then download and install the drivers.

What to do if all else fails

In addition to software problems with sound, there may be mechanical problems with hardware in the computer. Perhaps the contact on the amplifier or speaker has come off and needs to be soldered. Or a capacitor on the sound card or motherboard has swollen. There can be many reasons, as is the case with software.

Check all mechanical connections. But if this does not help, contact the service center to correctly diagnose and then fix the problem.
