Easy ways to troubleshoot your iPhone when sound doesn't work on Hulu videos

Co-authored by Spike Baron and Rain Kengly

Is the Hulu app not working on your iPhone? If you can hear volume from other streaming apps but no sound on Hulu, here are some quick fixes to try.

1

Some apps may have a feature to mute all sounds upon opening, such as TikTok. When this feature is enabled, you'll need to press the Volume Down button to enable the sound again. Then, press the Volume up button to raise the sound to your preference.

2

If you're not getting sound for a specific episode or movie, find a new one to check the volume. In some cases, there will be volume for the new video, and it should bring the volume back to the previous video.

3

Open the Control Center by swiping down on the top-right corner (or swiping up from the Home button). Tap the Volume bar and drag it up to raise the volume.

4

Make sure you aren't connected to a Bluetooth device. This could be a speaker, headphones, or even a car. When a trusted Bluetooth device is turned on and in range, it may connect automatically without your knowledge.^{[1]

  - If your device has a Home button, swipe up from the bottom.
- If the Bluetooth icon is blue, tap it so it turns grey.
- Try using Hulu again.

App issues can sometimes be fixed with a quick refresh. Swipe up from the bottom (or double-click the Home button) and swipe up on Hulu to close it. Wait a few seconds, and then tap Hulu to open it again.

Make sure Hulu is updated. If you don't have automatic updates enabled, you'll need to manually update the app in the App Store. Do the following:
- Open the App Store.
- Tap your Apple ID profile picture.
- Scroll down to find Hulu in the list of apps.
- Tap Update.

7

Make sure your iPhone is updated. Software updates include the latest bug fixes, so be sure your device is up-to-date. Do the following:
- Go to Settings.
- Tap General.
- Tap Software Update.
- Tap Download and Install.

On iPhones without a Home button, press and hold the Power button and Volume Up button until the Power slider appears. For iPhones with a Home button, press and hold the side button until the slider appears. Slide the slider with your finger and wait for your iPhone to turn off. Wait 30 seconds, and then turn it back on. Try using Hulu again.

It's best to use a wired pair to rule out any problems with Bluetooth itself. Plug them in, and then listen for any sound. If you can hear sound through the headphones, this may indicate a problem with the speakers. You may have to clean them or contact an Apple technician to repair them.
