As was suggested, definitely check the volume adjustment in the youtube playback window itself. But it's quite odd that you're having so much youtube audio playback problems. Is it just youtube itself? Or any video in the browser? For example, what about videos at http://www.VIMEO.com ? Definitely keep your flash player up to date at all times. That's critical as Flash is a common security flaw vector for hackers. Same with Adobe PDF/Reader. Are you sure there isn't some other audio/video related plug-in / software that you have running on your system, that's interfering with sound?

The problem also occurs in Safari, which just told me my Flash is obsolete and gave me a chance to update (which I'll try). I've just discovered that at least the two I just tried (including one that didn't work on Chrome or Safari) WILL play in Firefox. _________________________________________________ Watch (and please share) my TEDx Talk, "Impossible is a Dare: Business for a Better World" http://www.business-for-a-better-world.com/tedtalks/ Shel Horowitz - Green Business Profitability Expert Helping you find the value in your values since 1981 - because Green isn't just good for the planet--it's *great* for your bottom line Contact me to reach Green, socially conscious consumers with marketing that has THEM calling YOU" Twitter: @shelhorowitz * First business ever to be Green America Gold Certified * Inducted into the National Environmental Hall of Fame http://business-for-a-better-world.com * http://greenandprofitable.com/ mailto:shel at greenandprofitable.com * 413-586-2388 Latest award-winning, best-selling (8th) book: Guerrilla Marketing Goes Green (co-authored with Jay Conrad Levinson) Blog: http://greenandprofitable.com/shels-blog _________________________________________________ On Thu, Jan 8, 2015 at 11:20 AM, Chris Hart <chris at chrishart.net> wrote: > > > > > Tried Chrome browser? > > https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/ > > > From: Shel Horowitz <shel at principledprofit.com> > Date: Tuesday, January 6, 2015 at 3:57 PM > To: Hidden-Tech Tech <hidden-discuss at lists.hidden-tech.net> > Subject: [Hidden-tech] Youtube videos are silent > > On my laptop (MacBook Pro, OSx 10.9.5, recently added more memory but the > problem preceded it), in at least two different browsers, every Youtube video > I've loaded since the memory upgrade plays silently. > > On my desktop computer running 10.5.8, it tells me my flash is obsolete but > allows me to "run this time" and it plays fine. > > Before the memory upgrade, I was having this problem on some but I don't think > all Youtube videos, and I may have had the problem with other videos--not > sure.
