Key notes
Google Chrome is a popular browser with the option for private browsing in Incognito mode. This mode allows users to browse without Chrome remembering browsing history and data.
However, users have reported that their sound is not working while in Chrome Incognito mode. If yoursound isn’t working in regular Chrome, we have solutions for that as well.
Keep reading to find a quick solution to fix no sound in Chrome Incognito.
Why is there no sound on my Internet browser?
First of all, before trying anything else or going through a lengthy troubleshooting process, make sure that theAllow sites to play soundoption is enabled in your browser’s sound settings.
Also, just to avoid silly mistakes, make sure the page is not muted by right-clicking on its tab. If it’s indeed muted, you’ll see theUnmute siteoption
When you use incognito, all of the cookies are deleted from your browser after you close said incognito window.
Also, browser history isn’t saved, so if another person uses that computer, smartphone, or tablet, it will not list the web pages you just went to
In other words, no, it shouldn’t affect your sound settings at all, as that is all the Incognito mode does to your browser.
If you continue having problems with the sound in Incognito mode, you should consider trying a different browser. Opera One offers a similar user experience, but it’s much lighter than Chrome.
The browser gives you the possibility to surf online without keeping track of any data. To start an incognito session on Opera One, just click on the menu and select the New Private Window option.

How do you fix an incognito window without sound?
1. Enable sound in site settings
If the sound is not enabled in site settings, then that might cause the sound to not work in Incognito mode. Also, make sure there are no sites blocked from playing sound.
2. Unmute the current tab
The issue could be due to the tab being muted. Unmuting the tab in Incognito mode should solve the problem.
3. Clean up Chrome
If there is any potential malware on Chrome, it can prevent it from functioning properly. If your sound is not working in Chrome Incognito, try checking for any harmful malware and removing it to solve the issue.
4. Disable extensions in Incognito mode
By default, Incognito mode does not enable extensions. However, if you have some extensions that you have allowed to be enabled in Incognito mode, try disabling them and see if that fixes the problem.
We hope one of the above solutions fixed the issue of no sound in Chrome Incognito. It can be frustrating to have no sound on private browsing, so we hope this article helped. If there is a solution that worked for you that isn’t listed above, let us know in the comments.
