Reasons for the lack of sound in films on Android

The first thing to do is make sure that the volume is set at an acceptable level. Try playing a different movie, using a standard player, or playing a video on YouTube. Android has different volume settings for alarms, ringtones, and audio/video playback. Therefore, if there is no sound when playing a movie, it can work without problems, for example, on an alarm clock.

If other content plays normally, then there is a high chance that you downloaded the movie without sound. An error occurred when encoding the film, as a result of which the audio track was lost and was not added. You cannot eliminate this drawback on your own; all that remains is to download another file. Another possibility is an inappropriate file format. Your phone may not have the codecs needed to play it.

1. Convert a movie to another format that is supported by the system and player.
2. Install another player that can work with this format.

Seek professional help

If none of these steps help you, you most likely have a hardware problem. The speaker itself or its contacts may be damaged. You will have to contact a professional service center and have your phone examined by a specialist.

Given how smartphones work, they inevitably wear out over time. While these fixes can potentially help you revive your failing speakers, the likelihood of recurring problems is quite high in the long run.

No sound on Android TV

If there is no sound when playing a movie via Android TV, then the first thing you need to do is check that the set-top box is configured correctly. The sound output method depends on the capabilities of the TV:

1. When using a receiver or TV with built-in decoders, select RAW or Passthrough.
2. On a simple TV, use PCM output.

If the output method is correct, but the sound does not work, reset Android TV and set the settings again.

General troubleshooting sequence

Sound does not work via HDMI, what should I do?

1. Check that the connection is correct.
2. Turn up the volume on your TV and make sure the Mute button is not pressed.
3. Go to PC settings. Select a sound option. And set the desired TV model as default.
4. Restart the set-top box by unplugging the network cable from the outlet. Or reset the settings to factory settings through the receiver menu.
5. Check the sound quality of your TV without additional equipment.
6. Check the integrity of the cable and connectors.

Gradual diagnostics will allow you to identify the error without calling a technician to your home. All manipulations are not technically complex and do not require highly specialized knowledge. You should only buy a new HDMI cable or take your TV in for repair to replace the speakers when you are sure that there are no other faults in the connection.

Video players for Android

If the standard Android player cannot play the movie, install a third-party player with built-in codecs from the Play Market. There is no need to buy a player, get root rights or do other complicated things. The Play Market has a huge number of free functional players:

1. VLC.
2. KMPlayer.
3. MX Player.
4. GPlayer.
5. MoboPlayer.

After installing them, you can forget about the built-in player, which does not play some formats and requires the installation of codecs.

The issue is resolved and closed

I think you have a problem with your computer. There may be a malfunction in the sound card or in the audio stream settings. To give specific advice, is there sound from other programs? If so, look at the settings for your specific player. Download VLC player - it is the simplest and most convenient player, a very clear menu, look at the audio device settings in it - it should be “stereo”. If you still don’t get sound, contact a specialist. Torrents have nothing to do with it, you download the package.

If all else fails

In some cases, the problem of no sound is due to a hardware problem. Here are just some types of breakdowns:

• Malfunction of the speakers or volume buttons;
• Headphone jack malfunction;
• Damage to the sound controller on the motherboard.

Most often, the causes of such breakdowns are the iPad falling or getting wet on it. In these situations, it is better not to open the device yourself, but to contact a service center for help.

If there is no sound on your iPad, you might want to try changing certain options in the settings. Independently checking for faults inside the case can lead to undesirable consequences.

Solving the question of why movies are downloaded without sound

• Most video players have the option to search the Internet for missing codecs. If the program you want to open your movie file with doesn't have this option, don't panic, all is not lost. The GSpot utility will help you find the name of the codec that was used to compress the audio track.
• The GSpot utility should solve the problem of why there is no sound in the movie. First, open the GSpot program window and click on the browse button in the File menu. Next, select the desired movie file, the one that plays without sound, and click on the “Open” button. It may take a few seconds for the program to extract information from this file.
• Pay attention to the contents of the Audio option, which is located in the lower left part of the GSpot utility window. In the Codec field, the name of the codec that is used for audio compression should appear, and in another field, the Stat field, there should be a message about the absence of the required codec in the system.
• Now in the text field, select the full name of the codec and copy it. In your browser, open the page of one of the search engines and paste the copied name of the missing codec into the search bar.
• The best place to search is free-codecs.com. Open its main page in your browser tab and enter the name of the codec in the search bar. Press Enter to start the search.
• Click on the text link that appears as a search result. Simple instructions for installing the video codec can be found under the download link. Typically, to do this, you need to select a file with the inf extension from among the downloaded files and apply the Install option to it in the context menu.
• Download the codec using the link and install it exactly as indicated in the explanation. After this, the issue of why movies play without sound should be resolved and you will be able to enjoy your movie with clear sound.
• If the first option did not help you significantly, then there is another effective option. To identify and then search for the missing codec, you can also use the VideoInspector program. First, open a video file in it using the “Browse” button. All information about sound compression will be shown in the bottom panel of the program window.
• If the codec with which the audio is compressed in the file is not available, then click on the “Load” button in the “Codec” field of the “Audio” panel.

OS errors

Application errors

If, after checking all mechanical components, the sound still does not appear, the problem may be with installed applications. This is indicated by the absence of audio signals in certain functions: notifications from social networks, SMS or alarm clock.

This problem is mainly associated with the installation of software that speeds up the performance of the OS. Often when background processes are closed, the audio signal is also turned off. Rebooting the tablet PC and adjusting the software settings will help here.

Codecs are gone

Free versions of video players do not have all the necessary codecs to play all types of audio and video formats: avi, mkv, wav, mp3, aac, wma, flac, alac, etc. In this case, you will have to find and install them additionally. But it’s worth knowing that some of them only work with a certain class of processors, so you’ll have to look for a universal set that’s suitable for everyone.

This problem may also occur after a software update. In this case, you can try reinstalling the player. However, if the manufacturer decides to make this format paid, this will not help.

Try free VLC player, it is available for all platforms, iOS, Windows, Android. Look for the official application in the App Store and Play Market.

The player requires reinstallation

Do not neglect installing updates that are periodically offered by the manufacturer. At some point, the player will simply stop playing files due to the lack of certain parameters and capabilities. Completely uninstall and reinstall the player again: all current updates will be downloaded automatically.

Viruses

To expand the capabilities of the Tablet PC, owners install uncertified utilities that provide access to Root rights. Thanks to them, you gain full access to the operating system and can perform destructive operations. For example, try to increase the memory and accidentally delete system files that are responsible for the correct operation of the tablet. To recover deleted data, you will have to use a third-party application.

Often, along with such a utility, a virus is loaded that has full access to the OS and unlimited capabilities: disabling and deleting functions, making calls and sending SMS, posting personal data on the Internet.

There is only one solution to this problem - uninstall the software and perform a full scan with a good antivirus. The most extreme measure is to reset the device to factory settings or reflash the device.

System glitches

If you had to force a restart or completely shut down your Tablet PC, this may cause the operating system or a specific application to malfunction. In this case, check through the tablet settings to see if the audio player’s microphone access permissions have changed.

If the problem is unauthorized closure of a system process, a classic reboot of the operating system (applies to Windows, Android and iOs) most often helps, or in extreme cases, a complete reset or flashing.

Chinese budget models more often suffer from software failures (Dexp, Dns, Irbis, Philips, Prestigio multipad, Digma, Texet, Tesla).

Crooked firmware

You may have installed custom firmware, which has certain shortcomings and therefore there is no sound. Flashing the official, stable version of the operating system installed from the manufacturer’s website will help.

The simplest problems

Problems with poor sound or no sound at all can occur due to accidental or intentional changes to the device settings.

1. It is necessary to check the volume of the gadget, maybe it is simply turned off or the volume cable is jammed.
2. If the tablet has an Android system, then there may be a problem with the volume indicator: the system shows that the volume is on, but in fact the opposite is true.

System glitch related to the volume indicator

To resolve the issue, you need to hold down the volume key in one position for a few seconds, and then in another.

1. Also, elementary difficulties include accidentally pressing the “Mute” key or changing the settings of other sound profiles. To check for failures, you need to check the “Options” menu and all settings of this type.
