I have a "media server" I set up to stream TV to my Sony. It's set up with Windows 10 with a decent sound card running an HDMI cable to the TV. Up until today, everything was working great on all apps as far as sound goes. Now all of a sudden, I'm getting sound only through VLC player and Kodi, but when it comes time to stream TV through Microsoft Edge, no applications have sound....xfinity, NHL.TV, etc.

For the life of me, I can't figure out why I'm getting no sound through Edge. Everything was working great up until today. I don't know if I inadvertently clicked something or what.

Please help......thanks!

Check your audio control mixer in the speaker app.

Ok...thanks. Sack o' rocks here...where is the speaker app? Right click on the speaker icon in the lower right??

Yeah

Thanks smschulz,

What am I specifically looking for? NOTHING has changed on my system that I'm aware of. Nvidia drivers are all updated, Youtube, VLC player, shows through Kodi/Exodus, and OTA antenna programming...all working just fine. It seems to be limited to anything streaming through a web site in Edge, i.e., xfinity TVGO and NHL.TV.

I am streaming Netflix and it created the IE slider. If using Edge I think it will notate such.



Be sure to determine it is not muted or volume is lowered.

Where your mixer shows IE, there's nothing listed for Edge in my mixer.....just the Nvidia card and system sounds show in my box.

I'm out for the night...will hash this out tomorrow. Thnx again!!

I noticed when I stream through Edge there were no controls also.
It will only show the controls (IE or another program) when that program is actually running, goes away when it is not.
However, you may want to make sure the proper sound device is enabled.
It is obviously a configuration issue.
Have you tried just using IE for comparison.
I read that restarting Edge can fix a problem but not sure that applies here.
I would look around in all of your sound control icons/applets to find the issue.

Also are you connecting speakers to the media server/pc or just wanting the sound through the TV?
That could be another issue entirely.

Mornin',

My sound configuration is through a pretty decent Nvidia GeForce sound card and all sound streams from the server to the TV via HDMI cable (HDMI 1). This was working Saturday, as I watched the A&M game and other NCAA games all day. All drivers are current, BTW.

I also tested by installing Firefox, and it didn't work either. All...ALL...other sound sources are working:
Youtube (through Edge, oddly enough)
DVD source (HDMI 2)
VLC MEdia Player
Exodus through KODI app
Netflix through the interface on my Sony
Netflix through the Chromecast dongle (HDMI 3)

It seems the issue is limited to streaming Xfinity TVGO, NHL.TV, and any other "streaming" shows through a web browser. I wouldn't expect Youtube to work through Edge, but it does. I'm totally confused at this point. It would be fairly easy to totally wipe Win10 and reinstall, but that is the last resort, of course.

And again...EVERYTHING was working fine all day Saturday.

Thanks...

Don't do that ~ completely wrong approach.

Go look to Xfinity for the problem
I saw several others with the same problem.

Thanks smschulz....I wound up installing Google Chrome and it worked just fine. I think the problem is a combination of Microsoft Edge and Adobe Flash.
