[Hidden-tech] Help, please--why does youtube have no sound?

[Shawn Fumo]

Shel,

What browser are you using? One issue I've had on Firefox sometimes is
that I get a bit addicted to having many saved windows and tabs open
at once (since it's so easy to keep them all saved). I've found that
after a certain threshold of pages open (especially if some of the
pages have flash on them), things can start acting weird. One of the
symptoms was flash video (especially YouTube, but sometimes other
sites too) playing without audio or playing for a couple of seconds
and stopping.

I kind of doubt that you're having this particular problem, but I
figured I'd throw it out there in case.

Shawn
