If Hulu shows the right video but no sound, check the volume in the app and the audio output on your device to make sure they are not both muted or set to a secret audio channel (like "Surround" when the content only supports stereo).

Next, check the audio settings on your device. If you're using a TV or set-top box, change the audio setting from "Surround" or "Dolby Digital" to "Stereo/PCM." If you're connecting via HDMI, try a different port or a different HDMI wire.

Also, close the Hulu app, restart your device, clear the app's cache (or your browser's cookies if you're viewing on the web), and check for app and system updates. Many audio problems are caused by old software or a cache that isn't working right.

If you're using external speakers or a sound bar, try using the TV's built-in speakers for a short time to see if the problem is with those.

Lastly, check to see if Hulu's service is down. If problems happen with other titles as well, the issue may be with Hulu and not your tools.
