Anyone else having problems on youtube today? I tried firefox and IE.

There’s no audio on any of the videos. There’s a big red x on the speaker icon.  
I tried clicking it to unmute.

It’s not my pc. I just played a video and mp3 to confirm my audio is working.

here’s a clip from dwts. no audio

Never mind. I got it working.

somehow the volume slider was all the way down and youtube was treating it like mute. with the red x.

weird stuff. I was logged off youtube too. I never log off. 😕 weird
