Step 1: Press the Windows key, search Sound settings, and click to open it.

Step 2: Pick the correct sound device under Output.

Fix 2: Reset Site Permissions

If you can’t hear the sound on a select few websites, reset its site permissions to restore normal functioning.

Step 1: Open your desired website in Microsoft Edge, click the padlock icon on the left of the website’s URL, and select Permissions for this site.

Step 2: Click Reset permissions at the top right and select Reset when prompted to confirm your action.

Fix 3: Reset Sound Volume for All Apps

Existing issues with app volumes can cause no sound in Microsoft Edge. Resetting sound devices and volumes for all apps should fix it.

Step 2: Scroll down and click Reset next to Reset sound devices and volumes for all apps to recommended defaults.
