You might want to try checking DU on a different Web browser to see if there is sound. TexasTowelie Jul 2019 #1

One possibility is that when you opened the browser tab for DU that you clicked the sound off--there is a mute action that appears in the left portion of the tab where DU appears. If that is the case, simply click it again and the sound will be restored.

That mute action is convenient when you are playing livestreams and you need to mute the sound quickly without having to go through the control panel or speaker controls.
