Windows 10: something causing all videos --in any and all browsers-- muted. HELP

this has happened to multiple computers at my home network.

we are all running win 10.

we run a variety of browsers: firefox, IE, edge, and chrome.

videos that we click, are starting muted. every time.

at first, because i use chrome, i thought it was chrome related.

but its doing it on all browsers and different computers.

ITS LIKE THERE IS A UNIVERSAL RULE IN WIN 10 that forces all video to open muted. A year ago, this was not happening.

is there? this is rediculously annoying.

I used to watch the news in the background on bnnbloomberg.com

if you open a video there, not only does it start in mute, in any browser, but it also starts each new video on the 'playlist' on mute! argh! so that mean i have to drop what i am doing, and click unmute every couple minutes. its broken. ive tried everything.

help!!!!

keep in mind this is accross all browsers. its not the chrome issue where 'auto play' is muted on a tab until you un-mute it.

Thanks, Ryan.

videos on websites opening muted windows 10 home all browsers


Hi and thank you for responding with those two suggestions.

I have tried those suggestions and they do not make any difference. I have also tried disabling flash on websites thinking perhaps flash was the problem. However the videos continue to play and begin playing on mute. I can unmute the videos and the next video in the queue will be muted.

this tells me I think these sites are running html5 video because I have turn flash off.

can anybody think of any reason why the HTML five based videos on all of the computers at my house hold would be defaulted to opening videos on mute?

 

Edge browser crashes on full screen video ?

Hi,

Thank you for posting your question on Microsoft community.

I appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

Step 1: I suggest you to clear the browsing history cache and check if it helps:

• Open Edge browser click on three dots.
• Click on clear browsing history.

Then try to play the video and check if the issue persists.

Step 2: Run the apps troubleshooter and check if it helps with the issue.

The Modern app troubleshooter can automatically identify and fix some problems with apps and the Store

Refer to the following article and run the Apps troubleshooter:

I hope this information helps.

Thank you.
