Answer 1

Well theres a possibility that your toolbar that says "speakers"

Adn then "mixer"

That your youtube internet explorer is totally off.

try that.

But you will have to have a youtube vid or just youtube up when you are doing that :)

Good luck.

Answer 2

I'm not familiar with your particular problem, but it seems to

be getting pretty common. I see questions like yours nearly

every day now on Yahoo.



So I did a whole lot of searching and reading, going through

dozens and dozens of websites, only to find out that there's

nothing definitive out there.



The only semblance of a partial solution that kind of worked

for some people would require you to either 1: mess around

with your registry (which I would be totally deadset against),

or 2: downloading some weird utility (which I am even more

against, because that kind of stuff is what probably created

your problem in the first place).



Thus, let me recommend what I advise so many other folks

when YouTube gets slow, stuck or weird: clear your "cache"

of all "Temporary Internet Files". I'm also a big fan of wiping

out "Cookies" and "History". My "CHTIF triple-cure" seems

to resolve many people's problems, so maybe it will resolve

yours too. At the very minimum, you should at least do this:



Internet Explorer 6:

> Tools > Internet Options > Delete Files > Yes > OK



Internet Explorer 7:

> Tools > Internet Options > Delete...

> Delete Files > Yes > Close > OK



Mozilla Firefox 2:

> Tools > Clear Private Data > (x) Download History

> (x) Cache > Clear Private Data Now



If that doesn't do the trick, here are a few other suggestions:



-- If you have "Google Web Accelerator" or anything similar,

get rid of it immediately. GWA conflicts with YouTube.



-- Long videos require both "Flash" and "Shockwave" to play

properly. Shockwave includes Flash, but not vice versa.



-- Avoid inane add-ons, utilities, downloaders and converters.

There are several salespeople here on Yahoo! disguised as

"answerers" shilling for your dollars. If anyone suggests you

acquire something, please be aware that their "answer" has

probably nothing to do with your problem, and their solution

may be causing your problem. Besides, what kind of stupid

answer is:...[my paraphrase] "Although you cannot listen or

watch videos properly, get this downloader".



-- I don't know why this sometimes works, but the few times

I got stuck, I changed the URL from "www . youtube . com"

to just "youtube . com" (or you can try "ca . youtube . com").



If you do find the "cause" and the "cure", I would very much

appreciate it if you could email me, either by clicking on my

avatar or writing to me at "[e-mail]".



I wish you good luck. I hope something in my answer does

the trick for you.

Answer 3

Have you noticed the volume box in the bottom right corner of the video screen. You might have turned it down or muted it before and a cookie might have kept it that way.



or ...



2. It could be due to slow connection or high traffic.

Try watching it during off peak hours, the sound play will probably play better.



Or you could watch it offline... try using 'zillatube' . It plays the video much smoother and better.



It works well - Just google search "zillatube" to get it.
