The TV app on my MacBook Pro (NOT on an Apple TV device), won't play sound for any video. It won't play to airpods or through speakers. Other videos play sounds (like YouTube on Safari)

How can I get sound to play through the TV app on my MacBook Pro?

Have you checked the Sound to confirm it's not muted?


If it's not muted, start up in safe mode and let it sit for about 10 minutes, then restart normally and check Apple TV sound.

You might want to reset NVRAM as it has functionality concerning sound: https://www.macworld.com/article/224955/how-to-reset-a-macs-nvram-pram-and-smc.html
