It is mainly because of its ability to play the files of almost any formats like Mp3, Mp4, Mkv, Wav, Avi, and many more. Its minimalistic interface and powerful usability also make it a user favorite.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, like any other software program, even VLC media player can suffer from a technical glitch sometimes. One such common glitch is VLC no sound. If the audio is working, but you feel the volume is very low, then you can try <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">some audio boosters<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to enhance the sound experience. There could be a number of reasons for this issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this guide, we would discuss a few reasons that could cause no sound issue in VLC and how to fix them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reasons_for_VLC_No_Sound_Issues\"><\/span><b>Reasons for VLC No Sound Issues<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As already mentioned, there could be a number of reasons for the no audio glitch in the VLC player.

Codec is the software that represents two words <\/span><b>Co<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mpress and <\/span><b>Dec<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ompress. It first compresses data for the quick transferring and then decompresses it for the playback or editing purpose.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some Codecs are incompatible with VLC player, so if your playback files contain an unsupported codec, it will likely to cause a no audio issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another reason could be while updating a codec, it got installed incorrectly and damaged itself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Corrupted_Playback_Files\"><\/span><b>2.

It could happen because of a broken download while downloading during network interruption or a malware attack on the file that is being played.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Changes_in_Configuration_Settings\"><\/span><b>3.
