I've downloaded Adobe Flash Player 9 and updated windows media player 11, I've tried all the simple things, ie: speakers on, volume sliders slid;the main volume controls in windows has been checked and all levels are good. While on youtube I have checked the volume on the vid player. Now my wife tells me ther is no volume on here Martha Stewart site.
So that is why I'm here I've had problems before that you guys have fixed I thought maybe someone could help again.

Thank you

I've heard of issues with flash player not causing it to show video but not with audio... did you update any drivers for audio? Any windows updates prior to the issue? Are you running a toolbar like google or yahoo? One of those caused a similar problem on a womans computer I fixed once.

Ok I've checked the Device Manager and no yellow exclamation marks, I have not updated any audio drivers or installed any windows updates lately. I have no tool bars. Google opens up in the Mozilla OS but that's it.
Hopefully someone can find some answers for me.
Thanks in advance.

this is directly from Youtubes Help link on audio:
Why can't I hear the audio when I'm watching a video?



To make sure that you hear sound while watching videos, please check the volume controls on your computer. Also, be sure to increase the volume on other conventional video players on your computer, such as Real Player or Windows Media. This may have an effect on your computer's master volume levels. Next, check to see if your system meets these requirements for running the video player:

Macromedia Flash Player 7.0+ plug-in
Windows 2000 or higher with latest updates installed
Mac OS X 10.3 or higher
Firefox 1.1+, Internet Explorer 5.0+, or Safari 1.0+
Broadband connection with 500+ Kbps
If your system meets all the requirements, but the video player still isn't working properly, please try troubleshooting with a different browser. Remember to test the audio on multiple videos!

After all these, have you updated your audio driver as suggested?

Also take a look at this: http://wizkid.wordpress.com/2006/09/15/ ... n-youtube/

I would suggest a run of spybot search and destroy along with whatever other spyware detection you have after running that..it may have not fixed the issue but masked it with some spyware... I don't trust that after looking at.
