Why Is There No Sound on Disney Plus with the Firestick?

Unfortunately, no sound on Disney Plus with the Firestick is one of the most common complaints. Luckily, most of the causes are simple to fix. Before trying any of the solutions below, try testing the Disney Plus on another device if you have one.

If the sound also doesn’t work on another device, the problem might be with the app rather than the Firestick. If the sound works on other devices but not the Firestick, you can follow the steps below.

Restart the Firestick

Restarting the Firestick is the simplest solution and often fixes the issue of no sound.

Here are the steps:

  1. Open the Settings Menu.
  2. Choose the Device option.
  3. Click Restart. The Firestick will take a few seconds to restart. Don’t touch any buttons during this time.
  4. Once the Firestick comes back on, open the Disney Plus app and see if the sound is working.

If the steps above did not work, there might be another issue with the Firestick.

Clear the Cache

If you have been using the Firestick for a long time, you might have issues with your background apps. All these apps collect information when you are using the Firestick, and it can eventually begin to interfere with the Disney Plus app and the sound.

You can follow these steps to clear the cache:

  1. Press the Home button on the Firestick.
  2. Open the Settings menu.
  3. Choose Applications.
  4. Choose Manage Installed Application.
  5. Select Disney Plus from the drop-down menu.
  6. Choose the Clear Cache option.

Once you have cleared the cache, restart the Firestick before opening the Disney Plus app again.

If clearing the cache didn’t work, you can still take some steps to hopefully fix the no sound problem you’re experiencing with the Firestick.

Turn Off Dolby Digital Plus

Dolby Digital Plus is a sound technology that allows for better surround sound. It also gives users a better cinematic experience by making the sound clearer and crisper when streaming on Disney Plus.

Unfortunately, Dolby Digital Plus can interfere with the Firestick sometimes and cause sound issues with a variety of streaming apps, including Disney Plus. Turn off Dolby Digital Plus with the following steps:

  1. Choose Settings on the Firestick remote.
  2. Choose Display.
  3. Choose Sounds.
  4. Click Audio.
  5. Click Dolby Digital Output.
  6. Toggle the option next to Dolby Digital Plus to off.

If this does not fix the problem, try uninstalling and then reinstalling the Disney Plus app. This will usually fix a variety of issues you might be experiencing. If none of these solutions work, you might want to contact Amazon Firestick Support and see if they can offer additional tips and tricks.
