Why would a rooster stop crowing?

Roosters crow due to a biological signal which sends signals to the brain. It is the same type of signal that helps a human body return to a normal temperature 1 hour before waking up or water lillies to close their leaves before the sun rises. The problem you are experiencing with your rooster may be a result of this signal no longer firing. It could be an age thing, sickness or disorientation. Also, if a rooster is not sleeping well throughout the day, exhaustion could be a factor. Lastly, scientists believe that crowing is a way roosters mark territory (like dogs urinating on everything). If there is no perceived competition to protect its hens, coop or territory - it may neglect to crow at all. Sorry I couldn't be more specific, but your question didn't have any supporting context or facts.

How do you get peacocks to stop crowing?

You can't stop 'em from crowing, but you can muffle the noise (between certain hours) by keeping them inside your house (in cages!) or in a sound-boarded chicken house. Location of the roost is also important, as sound will bounce off certain structures and even seem to amplify. Light is the main reason a rooster will crow after going to roost at night. If any light is getting in the coop he will not settle well. Make sure the inside of the coop is dark once the sun goes down.

What if rooster does not crow what could be wrong?

The rooster could be ill, it could be the wrong season ( crowing is part of setting up territories and calling females into his group, if it is not breeding season his male hormones will drop and he will have no desire to crow) Or He could be a beta rooster - if there is more than one rooster on the property at least one will always be alpha doing most of the crowing, others down the pecking order may just stay quiet, accepting that they are not at the top of the pecking order.
