Nothing happens when I press play in Immersive Reader for OneNote

Solution 1: Check your volume

If words are highlighted, but you don’t hear any sound:

1. Exit Immersive Reader.

2. Turn up the volume on your device or speakers.

3. Reopen Immersive Reader and select Play.

If there’s still no sound, try the next solution.

Solution 2: In Windows, check that speakers or headphones are turned on

1. Open the Sound Control Panel from your task bar.

2. Make sure at least one device has a green checkmark.

3. If there are no devices with a green checkmark, right-click on a device’s icon and select Enable.

4. Close and reopen OneNote, then open Immersive Reader.

5. Select Play.

Solution 3: Make sure your language is supported in text-to-speech features
