I’ve been using Youtube for audio lately (most recently the nifty [soundtrack](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYYlfDvhSQw&NR=1) to the apparently okay Mirror’s Edge), but they only seem to use the standard left/right audio channels. (Rear left/right are connected to my TV for video viewing, and I’ve recently plugged in a sub; neither have any activity during flash videos).

This is the same whether I use Firefox or IE. All other audio (including .wav and .mid through my browsers) works fine.

Any suggestions?

Wow! 0 replies and only 5 views. A late entry, and facing a years worth of my previous lackluster contenders, this is still spot-on favourite to be my personal least-interesting thread of 2008!

The only thing that could spoil it is if someone has had my problem, cared about it, and fixed it. Seems unlikely, but regulations require one bump before vanishing in to oblivion can be confirmed by the judges.
