sound not working on youtube

[chaleegeorge]

Hi my sound just started to not work on youtube. ive tried to reset my computer and nothing is working

I've see this identical issue posted on other help forums.  Seems that YouTube, itself, is having some issues.

I just tried a video, and there was no sound.  Then, I noticed that there was an "X" next to the speaker icon. I hovered the cursor over the speaker, clicked on the slider, and moved the slider all the way to the right, and BAM, normal volume again.

From what I can tell, YouTube has set Muted Volume as the default.

Hope this helps.

Thank you so much. I tried everything on Youtube and Adobe. They did say "increase your volume", which I did, but did not know you have to do it on the video itself now. That was not true a few weeks ago when I last watched it. By the way, one of their suggestions was to go to an ealier resotre point and it crashed my lap top. I had to reload everything.

I have tried to click on the speaker but it doesn't change anything.

Any other suggestions. PLEASE

Hi JJJJ...

Instead of clicking directly  on the speaker icon, try moving  your cursor over the icon to see if the volume slider bar next to the speaker  appears.

If it does, then click on the slider -- which appears in the second image, and drag it to the right.

Please report back if ths works.

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. You can use the volume slider (it appears when you mouse over the speaker icon) to adjust sound in the meantime.

Thanks I am doing that and it's working!!
