No sound for non-html5 videos

[Guest]

I have a Windows 8 laptop.  Since roughly 09-18-13 I have been unable to hear the audio on non-HTML5 videos.  (I found links in another thread and tested them).  I have tried using Firefox Nightly (27.0a1) and IE 10.0.9200.16688.  My flash version is 11,8,800,168.  I have tried disabling the hardware accelerator, I have checked the add-ons and extensions and am at a loss.  Please help.

If that is on Youtube, unmute the speaker icon

It won't unmute.  I can click until the sun comes up and nothing.  I've checked my speakers and volume control and they work fine.

Hi Nikki:

Instead of clicking on the speaker icon, you have to HOVER your cursor over it.   A slider bar should appear.  When it does, click on the bar and drag it to the right.

Hope this made sense,

Hallelujah! I have spent an hour on this. Clicking should be the default, though.

Google has acknowledged a "glitch in their code" with YouTube, which I'll go out on a limb and assume is where this is occurring. There is NOTHING you can do in Flash Player to change this.
