Basic Fixes

Fix 1: Check Remote Volume Control Settings

To control the volume on your Apple TV, you can also use your IR remote along with the Siri Remote. But it is always better to let your Apple TV automatically detect the remote for controlling the volume on apps like YouTube. We suggest doing the same to fix the no sound problem in the YouTube app on your Apple TV or Apple TV 4K.

Step 1:OpenSettingsand then chooseRemotes and Devices.

Step 2:Scroll down to the bottom and then selectVolume Control.

Step 3:SelectAutoto allow Apple TV to select yourSiri Remotefor volume control.

This step also helps your Apple TV to check for an AirPlay device to let it control the volume on YouTube. If you get no sound when playing YouTube over AirPlay on your Apple TV, you need toselect your AirPlay speakers as your Output Source.

Fix 2: Check Audio Output Settings

If there is still no sound in the YouTube app on your Apple TV, check the audio output settings for content playback via Apple TV. If you have a home theatre system along with a bunch of smart speakers orsoundbars, check the audio output source.

Step 1:OpenSettings > Video and Audio > Choose Audio Output.

Step 2:UnderDefault Audio Output, selectTV Speakersor choose another output source listed there.

Ensure that theTemporary Audio Outputdevice has been turned off.

Fix 3: Change Audio Format on Apple TV

YouTube supports Dolby Digital Plus playback on its platform. It means that you can enjoy 5.1 surround sound while watching videos. So you need to change the audio format on your Apple TV.

Step 1:OpenSettings > Video and Audio > Audio Format.

Step 2:EnableChange Formatand then chooseDolby Digital Plus 5.1.

Fix 4: Reset Your Apple TV

The last resort is to reset your Apple TV model. This will restore all settings to default, especially when it comes to features like sound output.

OpenSettings > System > Reset and then follow the on-screen instructions.
