Why?... Why II?...

I
why has my sound in youtube embedded vids here on TRG suddenly gone away? Vid but NO SOUND.

test:


Goo vids work fine... not so with youtube ones - Unless I go to the youtube site - then it works fine. They worked fine until a couple days ago.

WTF?

II
why (TF) do the swiss need an air force? - They're swiss for crisakes!

Works fine for me. Could be because you are spelling our name wrong.

could be... but I don't put much faith in my spellin abilities. Must have had somethin to do with having to take nothin but english classes my last semester of high school just to get out... that kind of thing'll stay with you for your lifetime, ya know?

No mute. I've tried everything I can think of.

Wierd that it works at YT but not here - only video sans soundage.

anybody got a "sample" of one embedded on some other site I can try?

In one of my "help computer" threads from awhile back I believe we covered this and fixed it.

for future if anyone needs it, I assume you mean The Computer Problems Thread post #18

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Still, why would it work fine over at YouTube site and not in an embed here? [/scratches head and balls at same time]

Let me refer you to this thread....

http://forums.techguy.org/web-email/...o-youtube.html

and in particular, this information from this guy.

If you install the K-Lite codec pack, and then run the "Codec Tweak Tool"

Start > Programs > K-Lite Codec Pack > Configuration > Codec Tweak Tool

Then check the box next to [Registry] Fix non-working system sound

It should fix the problem (Did for me)

http://www.free-codecs.com/download/...Codec_Pack.htm

Make sure to download the full version.

Even tho I downloaded the full version, I only installed the Codec Tweak Tool and ran as above.

NO CHANGE. everything is still the same.

Finally found a fix way down in adobe's forum.

This thread: Going Crazy: Why No Sound w. Flash 9 in some but not all sites w/ embedded video?

I have been going crazy with this one too but I finally found a solution. Here it is:

Go to a page with a Flash video on it.
Click on the video to activate Flash, then right click on it to bring up the Flash menu.
Click on "Settings", then click the "Advanced..." button.
This should open a new browser window with the Flash Player Settings Manager.

Look on the left side, under "Table of Contents" and "Flash Player Help", for "Global Storage Settings Panel"
Click the "Global Storage Settings Panel" link. This will load the panel on the right side in a Flash object.
You will find that the "Allow third-party Flash content to store data on your computer" box is unchecked.
Check that box!!!

After the box is checked, it should save the setting right away, but I had a little trouble getting it to save the setting. I had to close all open Internet Explorer windows and go back and check the box several times, but finally it saved the setting. Once it did, I had audio in my embedded YouTube videos again.

Still no answer for why II

Answer to Why II: To combat the giant cats.

Because the mountains provide rad backgrounds for youtube videos.
