Hence, it cannot be established with surety if the issue is on Google Meet’s or the browser’s side. While one user has stated that the issue is persistent for them on both Safari and Chrome, another has stated that the problem disappeared for them upon switching to Mozilla Firefox.
Moreover, the issue is limited to the Google Meet site on Windows and Mac alone as there have been no reports of the same from mobile app users. Upon switching to some other site like YouTube, though, they work just fine. In this issue, headphones/headsets/earphones fail to output any audio whatsoever when coupled with Google Meet. It’s just not happening in meetingsĪs a result, several users have taken to the official Google Meet forums to complain about the bug. And I have gotten to Settings and tested the speaker, in the test audio came out correctly from my earphones. I don’t have the same issue with other applications like Spotify. However the audio comes out of the macbook speakers for my Hangout in google chrome. I have my headphones plugged into my macbook. I hear sound fine on every other page (Youtube, etc.). I have explored this on my end (disabled computer speakers and made headphones default, etc.) and no matter what I do, I cannot hear sound.
I have USB headphones/microphone and I cannot hear anyone on Google Meet. The latest is the headphones not working issue on Google Meet for some users. It was launched in early 2017, but users continue to bump into occasional issues. It is not incorrect to say that the service will be axed (for good?), just like Google Play Music.
Recently, Google also did away with the video calling feature present in Hangouts, forcing even more users off the aging service. With the slow but inevitable deprecation of Google Hangouts picking up pace, more and more users are moving onto Google Meet. Original story (published on December 04, 2020) follows:
