Fortnite is also played a lot on consoles, first of all PlayStation 4. So let's see how to solve the sound problems also on this platform.
I would like to say that to give my example I will examine the PS4 version of the Epic Games title, but in reality the procedure that I will show you does not differ much from the one to be put into practice on other consoles, so if you want to know how to activate audio on Fortnite for Xbox One o how to activate audio on Fortnite for Nintendo Switch, read on and you should be able to figure out the situation.

You just have to increase the respective values using the directional arrows of the pad, and when you're done editing, press the button triangle controller to apply them.
Now you just have to go back to main menu to verify that the audio is working. In case this doesn't happen, try going to the menu Settings> Sound & Display> Audio Output Settings PS4 and try to change the option Main exit.
If that doesn't work either, you may want to try to identify any problems with your TV or audio system - to do this, first try connecting a pair of headphones to your PS4.
If you notice that the audio via headphones works, check the audio system of the TV a little: trivially, try to see if the speakers or the home theater system you connected to it are turned on and connected correctly; then check the volume level and, if you have a Smart TV with Bluetooth, check that the problems do not depend on the connection of any soundbar or Bluetooth speaker: you can try to disconnect them and see if the sound passes through the speakers built into the TV.
Unfortunately, the variables involved are many and I cannot help you more precisely: do all these tests and, sooner or later, you will identify the cause of the problem.
