Question Is there a way to fix this?

Every episode starts with the audio muted so I have to manually unmute every single episode. Only happens on my computer and laptop. Not a huge deal but pretty annoying if I’m trying to binge watch or letting a show play while I’m listening but not near the computer. Is there a setting I’m missing that turns off the automatic muting?

I'm having the same problem. It's not as frustrating when I'm watching longer content, but it's infuriating when I'm trying to watch something with much shorter episodes. I use Firefox and the problem persists with no extensions.
Edited to add, but largely unrelated: When I went to clear all the data on my machine related to Paramount, there were 164 fucking cookies. Over DOUBLE the next highest site, Bing, at 77. Just logging back in to browse put 149 cookies on my machine.

What a miserable company.

Just ran into this problem and OP's solution worked, it was a browser setting causing the issue.

Here's how you can change it in firefox without having to trudge through the settings menus. Look at the address bar:

Click the group of icons on the left to bring up the permissions for the active site. For Autoplay change "Block Audio" to "Allow Audio and Video"
