How to Fix a Stream With No Sound

Viewers hear nothing? Check the right microphone and desktop sound are selected and the meter moves.

The short answer

Open the sound settings, pick your microphone and desktop sound, speak and watch the meter. Record ten seconds and play it back.

How to do it in Streamdzy

  1. Open Connections and the Health check. They show what your PC and network can carry before you go live.
  2. Choose a picture quality that the check and the upload test agree on. A steady stream beats a sharp one that stalls.
  3. Turn on Record first so your recording is never missing a moment, and viewers see a smooth stream behind it.
  4. Keep the Lifeline on. When the connection weakens, the stream steps down to a smaller picture instead of freezing.

What to know first

Results depend on your PC and your connection. Streamdzy’s safety systems cover the most common failures, but no app can fix a connection that is down. Run the upload speed test to see your line first.

Questions

The meter moves but viewers hear nothing. Why?

Check that the source is not muted and that the site player is not muted.
