If you have the Red MUTE icon on your Kodi Media Center screen, and the audio is not working (there is no sound), then please read on!

This is a simple fix, but first, lets double check the below:

  1. Please press the VOLUME UP button on your remote control, to ensure that the volume is on and active
  2. Please press the MUTE button on your remote control, to ensure that you haven’t accidentally pressed “mute” (this disables audio)

If the above do not solve the issue, then this will:

  • Press “+” or “-” from your keyboard to adjust audio volume or “F8” to toggle muting. You can (if I remember correctly) use “F9” and “F10” keys too to adjust volume.

The “F8” key should enable/disable the MUTE in the Kodi Media Center
