Silent movies

[Pedro_The_Swift]

There is no sound on youtube vids.

everything else sounds fine.

I have uninstalled/reinstalled the adobe flash player plug-in,,
have ticked the 3rd party storage option in Global settings,
nothings muted,
:confused:

oh, vista64 sp2

[long stroke]

I had this problem to, i found out after a while it was just the sound togle thing down the bottam right hand corner of the youtube vid:angel:
Sounds stupid i know:eek:
But you never know it could be your problem to.

CHEERS TIM.

Copyright laws are the case on most of them Pete, Youtube are deleting soundtracks because of it, Metalica sound tracks are the most deleted.

Think I gave up and bought a laptop.

The sound works fine on the laptop.

So, it's a workaround.;)

[Pedro_The_Swift]

Bump!

it cant be ALL of them Baz,,,:p

[abaddonxi]

Laptop doesn't play Sydney Morning Herald videos.

I can live without it.

[Pedro_The_Swift]

BUMP!

[Ferret]

I assume speakers are plugged in correctly etc.

In control panel open the "Sound and Audio Devices" icon. Click the "Audio" Tab and look for the "Sound playback" frame. Make sure the "Default device" is set to your sound card or on board sound device, ie "Realtek HD audio output" or whatever for you system.

Has it ever worked?

[abaddonxi]

Are you sure you weren't just imagining the sounds?

yes.


and


hmmm, maybe it was the voices doing overlays!:o

I'd be trying to rule out if it's your browser, plug in or the OS that's causing the problem. YouTube clips are just an FLV file or something.. can you play them through another media player? Tried another web browser?

[Pedro_The_Swift]

yep tried explorer,,
tried media player,,

tried the Microsoft Audio Mr Fixit(who didnt, and wont run in their own 64bit browser:p)

running Xfi latest drivers, latest 64bit vista codec pack,

it must be something SP2 did,,

[Ferret]

Only other thing I can think of is go back and try version 9 of flash, assuming you are using version 10 now. I had some trouble with sound using version 10 initially. No problems with version 9 though, but I was not using vista 64.

There is also a standalone utility around somewhere to ensure flash is completely removed when you uninstall it - "uninstall_flash_player.exe". Maybe give it a run before trying to install flash again.

[Pedro_The_Swift]

Thanks Ferret:D

will try 9 again!
am quite happy to uninstall SP2 to get sound back,,,

Did you try a roll back on the audio drivers after SP2?

[Pedro_The_Swift]

My audio drivers come from Creative,,,
You raise a good point though,,


Creative are ALWAYS slow with new drivers,,
[Maybe Creative doesnt work with SP2.???]



the current one is November last year,,
have asked my sound card to upgrade its driver,, says its up to date--


its easy to blame Creative,, and in the past (from Sound Blaster till now) it HAS been Creative's fault.


but this time,, no.

its a Vista setting.

Do you have only the one sound card option - Creative or is there the standard Windows one as well you could try as an alternative?

Other than that maybe roll back to SP1 as you suggest.

[Pedro_The_Swift]

maybe its Firefox?!?

just installed Safari4 and have my vid sound back!!

[hoadie72]

You mean you didn't try it in IE?

[Pedro_The_Swift]

yep, tried it in ie,,

[Pedro_The_Swift]

might try an earlier FF version,,,

[Pedro_The_Swift]

Tried 3.0 and made zero difference,,

did I mention I get THIS
"Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash "

EVERY time I try and play a youtube vid?

and I dont to both,,
but the question is why do they think this?

Adblock plus ?

If so try adding Youtube as an exception to filtering.

I had this problem a while ago and that fixed it.

Maybe an uninstall, followed by a registry clean, and a reinstall?

Silence is golden.

Just bought a TV, PS3 thrown in with the deal, still sealed in the box, thinking of selling it. Apparently the kids are too young and I'm not allowed to be distracted. I did say, blue ray movies, but that didn't convince.
