No sound on my uploaded videos

Hey Everyone.

So I'm no longer getting sound with my uploaded audio and video. They were working fine yesterday. Maybe there's some setting or something that I hit by mistake? I've deleted and re-uploaded some of them several times. They work fine on my PC. Windows 11. What else could it be?

    I've also sent the link to someone else who does get sound. It's just odd, everything else works on my computer sound wise. All my media players and anything else that has sound. Only Dropbox doesn't work.


    Plays fine for me as well, both on the Dropbox site and when downloaded. Tried a different browser, just to eliminate that as the issue?

      Hi beauknowsdiddly, it sounds like there might be a codec issue on your device, where the browser or app isn't able to play the video as is.

    Why can't I hear any sound when I try to listen to the video in my Dropbox?

      Hey cmosley1290, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

       

      Can you let us know where this is happening?

       

      Is it our website, the mobile app or your local Dropbox folder (desktop app)?
