Hi.

I looked for a technical place to ask this question but couldn’t find one, so I hope it’s okay to ask it here.

I was in the Cafe Forum checking out the YouTube posts and there I viewed several of them and had no problem. But then for some reason I went to one and there was no sound and so I went to several more and the same thing, no sound. Hmm.

I went to other websites to check and see if it might be this Mac I’m using and found everyything to be fine, i.e. sound works. Any idea what might be the problem?

Thanks in advance for your help, if any. 🙂

I’ve found if I go to YouTube and open a video while a different one was still open, the second video wouldn’t play sound. I don’t know if this is what happened to you, but I thought I’d throw it out there.

I’m not sure what forum you meant this to be in, but I’ll toss it over to Cafe Society to see if anyone else has had the same problem.

Thanks Taber! I did hit the pause on some of them to kill the sound and then proceed to another because they didn’t interest me. So maybe that had something to do with it.

Thanks Giraffe!
