The Sound on YouTube

Lately some videos on YouTube don’t seem to be playing any sound. Really, sound is so necessary to hear those kitties and puppies!

While the fix is easy, it doesn’t seem apparent at first.

Just look at this tiny screenshot, notice the white bar. (Just click the screenshot to enlarge)




Grab that white bar and start sliding it until it all the way over to the right side.



The sound should now be playing.

My guess is YouTube is trying to satisfy those folks who hate sound blasting at them when they go to a site. If that isn’t the reason, I have no idea why the change. But the fix is easy.

The only problem, you have to move that slider for every video.
