The issue occurs when you launch the YouTube app or try to play a video on the app but encounter the error at hand. The issue is reported on nearly all the versions of the Nintendo Switch. There may be many reasons for which the YouTube app on a Nintendo Switch may show the error code 2-Arvha-0000 but we can regard the following as the main ones responsible:
1. Restart the Nintendo Switch
A temporary glitch in Nintendo’s firmware could result in the error code 2-Arvha-0000 as the YouTube app fails to access the modules essential for its operation. Here, restarting the Nintendo Switch may clear the issue. Before proceeding, ensure YouTube is working fine by opening it on another device like a phone (preferably, on a different network).
2. Correct the Date/Time Settings of the Nintendo Switch
If the date/time settings of the Nintendo Switch are not correct, then the YouTube servers may fail to properly parse the data packets with the wrong date/time stamps which may, in turn, result in the error code 2-Arvha-0000. In this case, correcting the date/time settings of the Nintendo Switch may resolve the issue.
3. Change the Sound Mode of the Nintendo Switch to Stereo
If the sound mode of your Nintendo Switch is set to mono, then that could be the reason why YouTube fails to properly relay the audio to the mono channel. Here, changing the Nintendo Switch’s sound mode to stereo may clarify the error under discussion.
4. Change the DNS Settings of the Nintendo Switch
If your Nintendo Switch fails to translate the web addresses of the YouTube servers in a timely fashion, then the YouTube app on the Nintendo Switch might fail to execute with the error code 2-Arvha-0000. In this context, changing the DNS settings of the Nintendo Switch may clear the YouTube error.
5. Try Another Network
Suppose your Internet connection (due to ISP restrictions or router issues) fails to provide a persistent data stream to your Nintendo Switch. That could also result in the YouTube error under discussion as the app fails to communicate with its servers properly. In this context, trying another network on your Nintendo Switch may solve the problem.
6. Reinstall the YouTube App
The error code 2-Arvha-0000 could result from the corrupt installation of the YouTube app, and due to this corruption, YouTube fails to load its essential modules to Switch’s memory. In such a case, reinstalling the YouTube app on your Switch may solve the YouTube problem.
7. Reset the Cache of the Nintendo Switch
If your Switch’s cache has gone corrupt, that could result in the error code 2-Arvha-0000 as the corrupt credentials/IDs in the Switch’s cache could hinder the proper communication between your Switch and the YouTube servers. Here, clearing the Switch’s cache may clear the YouTube error at hand. Before proceeding, make sure to note down the IDs, passwords, etc., of the apps/websites, as these will be wiped clean. Remember that resetting the Switch’s cache will delete passwords, saved IDs, history, cookies, and other cached website data, but the downloaded games or game save data will not be affected. If none of the above worked, then make sure your Nintendo Switch is not a modded one as many online services (like YouTube) are limited on such switches. If that is not the case, then you may contact Nintendo or YouTube support.
