Youtube-silence.

Hi guys. Sound is working OK on my Laptop Vista Home Premium, but..
when I go to Youtube, I just get the Graphics, and silence.

Everything works properly on my XP box.
Don`t know what`s changed, but it did work up until a couple of
weeks ago.

Any ideas on what to check will be greatly appreciated.

Two places to check

1) Sound in YouTube player is turned up.

2) Click on the volume icon in the tray, then click on mixer, and with your
web browser open make sure the browser's volume is turned up in the mixer.

In IE...

Tools / Internet Options / Advanced

Scroll down to "Multimedia"

Is "Play sounds..." checked?

Last try:

You say the problem started a couple weeks ago.

Got a restore point older than that?
