Anyone else having problems with no sound on Youtube?

This is the second time this week for me and I don't think it's my own speakers.

Update:

I can't believe it would be a problem with the speakers or wiring since they've only been lightly used and are fairly high quality and barely 3yrs old and my pc is new as well.

    Tried watching any video on Windows Media Player, if it will have a sound, then its with your browsers.

    Tried downloading and installing latest Adobe flash player. Here's the link :

    If there is no sound when you watch a video on Windows Media Player, then tried downlaoding drivers for the sound card of your PV.

    It's not easy to diagnose the problem. One quick fix can be installing the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. Free link here: http://bitly.com/1p3PJw3

    Adobe Flash Player is often responsible for issues with videos and trying to install it or update it it's something that you can do quite easily. (It worked for me most of the times)

    It's not very likely but also possible that YouTube won't play the video if your connection speed is below a certain speed. If you know you have slow Internet, try connecting to a different network that is faster. You can find these at wifi-hotspots, like Internet cafes, bookstores, libraries, etc.

    It's very difficult but also possible that the Youtube Server that holds the video you are trying to watch is temporarily under construction. This is a temporary issue, so everything can starting working again without the need of installing new softwares on your pc.

    One quick way of fixing the problems you have is installing a recent version of Adobe Flash Player (it's a software often responsible for many video issues on pc, especially on youtube or other video platform and services). For instance if you are constantly getting black screens and your video doesn't start it's likely that your adobe flash player is either not present or corrupted. Try reinstall it again and keep finger crossed.

    You can get the latest version of Adobe Flash Player for free here: http://bit.ly/1p3P79V

    Hi,

    To download for free Adobe Falsh Player you can click here http://bit.ly/1p3OZXY

    The only program you need if you can't watch videos or if you see a black screen is Adobe Flash Player. It's a necessary plug-in that allows you to reproduce videos online.

    Have a nice day

    no,not at all.Maybe you should try another computer/laptop and see if this still persists.

    It could be your headphones or the sound settings on your computer.

    Try all these and see if it works.

    Or....you could've watched videos with no sound.I mean,mute videos.

    Just kidding.

    It's not completely gone but is really low.

    I don't think it's your PC. They're having some problem.
