There are a few different ways to fix no sound on the Amazon Prime video app, and they include:
The first troubleshooting tip to try is checking your device's audio settings. There's a chance that you meddled with it, and have muted your streaming device. If this is the case, taking care of the problem is really simple, as all you have to do is hit the Volume Up button and then wait for your volume to be raised.
Now, if you're using a smart tv, there probably won't be a designated button on your TV that you'll have to press. You'll instead have to use your TV remote to take care of this.
Instead of your device's audio being low, you might have set the volume to low on the Amazon Prime app. Click on the speaker icon, and then adjust it accordingly.
While on that note, I also have to mention that the device volume issue might be because of the external speaker that you're using. It might be acting up because its cable connections are loose. Definitely double-check cable connections on it before moving on to the next possible fix.
The audio issue might be due to your streaming device glitching out. Just like with your router, you should be able to take care of it with a simple restart.
Now, if you're trying to access the Amazon Prime app on your iPhone or Android phone, you can also force restart.
Essentially, force restarting is a more complex version of a regular reboot and might clear the sound problem if a regular reboot cant get your Amazon Prime sound back.
If you haven't updated the Amazon Prime app in a while, you having no sound on it wouldn't be a surprise. You might be dealing with some kind of bug lurking on the streaming service. To take care of it, you'll have to get rid of the outdated software and download the latest firmware version for it.
But make sure you have a proper internet connection first, as the update can take forever, otherwise.
Most of the time, you just have to go to your respective app store, locate Amazon Prime, and then click on the Update button to get the download going.
Once the update is done, you'll get a notification about this. You should hopefully not face any sound error when you using the app now.
Instead of the Amazon Prime app being outdated, your operating system might be what's really needing an update. Once again, all you have to do to take care of this is download the latest software version.
Also, if your OS is outdated, you'd be facing a bunch of other problems, and not just sound issues on Amazon Prime Video, like your OS being laggy.

Last but not least, your Amazon Prime sound issues can be due to hardware problems on your streaming device.

If none of the above fixes worked, it's safe to say hardware damage might be the culprit, so contact a repair shop for help.
