While playing a youtube video there is no sound.

"Mel's video of the day" plays the video but no sound and no speaker icon or slider at the bottom of the window. Used to work.

    I should have mentioned that Windows sounds and Music CD or music files from my PC play fine.

You might be having an issue with sound drivers. Try to fix it using Windows System Restore. If it doesn't work, Right click Computer icon, select Properties, then Device Manager. Under Sound Video and Game Controller (or any Unknown Device), check to see if there's any device that's having a conflict (or disabled). If it's disabled, simple enable it. If it's having a conflict, Right click then select update drivers. You might need to obtain the original driver cd that came with your computer. Please send a feedback if this works for you. Thanks.

SOURCE: sound decoder

Go to control panel --> system --> hardware >> device manager.
If you have problem with driver, there will be a big yellow question mark in your "audio controller". If there is problem, you have to reinstall your audio-driver.
If it is ok, then back to control panel -->sounds and audio devices. In tab "volume", you can see if your system might be "mute" (do uncheck box of mute). And if your volume icon is not in the taskbar, do check the checkbox of "place volume icon in the taskbar".
You can also modify the speaker performance here.

SOURCE: I have no sound when using internet.

It Could be a problem with some files in Internet explore . The best to know if its an IE issu , please try download any other browser like firefox and try to play you tube sites. If it works then you need register dll files for ie from the below link.

If it doesnt play with Firefox as well try to run
DXDIAG command in run and test the sound

SOURCE: i am not able to watch videos in youtube .

Hi welcome to fixya. Hope u 'll be fine

May b u can't watch because of bad or oversized cookie.
Simply solution is delete your "Cookies" Don't worry about erasing them;nothing bad will happen. You won't lose your internet browser "Bookmarks" or "Favorites"
As you are dumping your cookies, you should also erase all your "Temporary Internet Files" and "History". When u 'll d this your computer 'll be totally fresh in YouTube's.
After doing this restart your PC
whatever u r using browser to delete cookies, history and temporary internet files Go to Tools > Internet Options
See where is the option of "Delete Cookies and Clear History. Click on respective options to delete them.

if the same problem still exist then may be the problem is in browser then try to change your browser like Mozilla Firefox or Google chrome.

Download anyone then Just install it on PC and use it.I hope your problem will be solved.

I hope this solutions will work and helpful 4 u. Best of luck
Please do rate if it is helpful
THANKS
& keep using fixya

Acer aspire s36646 sound yes sound when playing videos online no, help please just happened

That is weird. If you have a speaker icon in the right lower corner of your screen, right click it. A window should pop up, click on " Open volume mixer"and make sure the slider for your web browser ( And / or any other options) is at the top of the scale, if not drag it up by left clicking on it with your mouse and dragging.
Hope this helps, if not try Google. Good Luck

Last night youtube videos sounded great but today there is no sound anymore although the videos are playing fine. Now the speaker icon has a cross next to it on the right hand side. How can I uncross this...

it's muted in youtube, usually click the icon with the cross, or on the tab of the browser next to the close button if there's a mute icon there. if that does not work, close all your browser tabs and reopen youtube. Also try with another browser, Firefox or Chrome.

I cannot get any sound for youtube videos. All other sond is OK.

When you play a video on youtube. If you do not hear any sound then look at the bottom left on the lower boundary of the Video you will see a speaker icon.
Make sure that this sign is not displayed with a cross and that the sound indicator shows enough volume so that can be heard.

Good Luck!

No sound from you tube videos, other sound on PC just fine...............

There are 2 likely problems:

1 - Next to the "play" button below the video, there is a speaker icon. Hold your mouse over it and a bar will appear. Make sure the slider isn't all the way over to the left.

2 - In the bottom right corner of your desktop, next to the clock, there's another speaker icon. While youtube is open, right click it, and select "open volume mixer." Check that the slider for internet explorer (or firefox etc. if you use it) is up the top - you may need to scroll across to find it if you have several programs open

Sound wont work

If sound won't work while playing videos from Youtube, it could be either of the following:
  1. The volume control of the video itself is in mute or low mode;
  2. The volume control of the headset or speaker is in low mode;
  3. The volume control of the computer itself is in mute or low mode that can be found in the task-bar sound icon; or
  4. The computer itself has no audio device installed.

Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There may not be a sound device installed on your computer, it may be in use by another program, or it may not...

Go to your speaker icon in the bottom right corner of the task bar and click on it.A slider will be seen click on slider and slide up the volume.Does this cure it?Has the icon got a red cross on it?This means it's not on restart the computer.Go to(win 7) Start,Control panel,Hardware and sounds,click on this.You will see Auto play and Sound,check these two items out to see if this is the reason for your fault.

Have an acer aspire 5516 and cannot find any sound when playing a dvd

check your sound and audio devices. Or you can see icon tray on the right-bottom. See picture "speaker" on there? Double click it, and please be attention in that check in "Mute All". Don't get that check, if you wanna hear some sound after you are playing some DVD's in PowerDVD software.

If it is a desktop then you need to purchase speakers & if a laptop then 90% there would beinbuilt speakers.
Before anything check if the sound is working on the system

click the pearl sign on the left bottom>>click programmes>>Click windows media player>>put a cd and try playing it>>Play a file>>
