No sound in videos
#1
Northfork just uploaded some YouTube vids today. As you know I have no sound at work, so I didn't notice any problems. Now I'm at home, and I notice there's no sound on any of them. Thankfully, if you click directly on the video, it brings you to where it is on YouTube where you'll get the sound and motion.

Any ideas?

I found a plugin for youtube and activated it; I hear nothing.
I wonder what northfork has that we do not?
he said they are audible for him.

We're not alone. This thread has some suggestions. I haven't tried them all yet, so far nothing has worked for me yet:

I posted it in the public section hoping to get feed back from Amir.
he claims he can hear it.
the one post said to change a file in Utilities, that sounded promising but how to do it?

That's the one thing I looked into... all my settings were already set. I even checked out my Flash settings, but didn't see anything helpful there. So, maybe it's the preferences?

you found the setting 400,000 something? he called it a name, a Mimie setting?

Yes, it's in the Utilities folder, it's called Audio MIDI Setup. I guess if you've never messed with it, it should be fine, and that was my case. I didn't see anything else that could be the problem in that app. or though System Preferences.

I'm at a loss at the moment, but there has to be a solution.

how about asking at youtube?
if it plays at their site, is it just their code that is wrong?

what Is the puzzle is, how come Amir can hear it and we can't?

this is copied from the post} I recently came across the problem of no sound in any of my browsers (but my system sounds did work, also iTunes). Firefox, Safari and Camino were all affected - YouTube, websites, etc..

Trashing my Macromedia preferences - in home and user - did not work for me.

What DID WORK was adjusting my settings in the Audio MIDI setting in my Utilities folder. Make sure the output format is 44100.0 Hz - this worked for me.

Exactly.

My guess is that it isn't YouTube's fault but some flaw in the Flash plugin
I can hear everything when I'm AT youtube.com, but not when the vids are embedded here.

did the guys in the posts say where they had the trouble?
their posts went back to last june.

I don't see anything I should need to mess with in here {see screen shot

the original poster was talking about youtube vids embedded in forums. He never reposted to say if things started working. Others seemed to have problems with the sound on the youtube site, which isn't our problem.

I just made sure that I had the up to date plugin and that didn't help. I even tried the suggestion of opening garageband and then closing it, that didn't work either.

I don't have garage band installed.
I don't know if my plugins are up to date since I don't do updates
it seems to me, you tube should correct theri code!
if videos at other sites we embed here work, it isn't us
we can try it on our other forums too.
too bad I lost the first screening room, nina's post in there worked for me.
oh well, I won't lose sleep over it.

It seems that a lot of people, for whatever reason, lost the sound to embedded youtube videos back in November, possibly October. That's why Nina's video worked for us at the time.

did you disallow the files?
with Flash 9 it takes you to their site and yuou fill out your privacy preferences.
I was pissed I saw files from sites I do not go to (Macecletic) had stuffed files in me!
they are different from cookies, I drop those, these are, or were, hidden from me is why I am not letting them put back more.
I got a pop up on the site of Youtube, asking me to let them park their files, I said NO!

"I don't need no stinking video! youtube, take your files and shove 'em!"

That's my thought also, that it has to do with how you and I reset our preferences for Flash, and I'm sure we made similar choices. It's still puzzling as to why youtube videos will work fine on their site, but not embedded on another.

Flash has added the menu to block "files", they say it is not a cookie.
It lets sites spy on what we watch.
I do not like cliking links I don't know what they go to,
clicking someone's sig. I have ended up on sites about bum sex!
Some where there is a big old record of all our browsing!
I saw how a woman got blamed for having interests in all sorts of things!
Really, she was researching things for friends but it all became a part of her profile.
Watching the flick about the 9/11 conspiracy theory and saddam's hanging, I bet everyone who linked to those is recorded/filed in some data base.

I am sick of this internet!
I got a news alert to see a video clip on Extra and I can't!
It says quicktime lacks some shit!
I am not going to buy more crap!
I will get off this fucking internet unless they make it more stable.

* anyone posting a video: tell us what to expect or I am not going to click it.

i dont have any block cookies stuff..
i do whatever i want in this interenet and people can record everything if they want, hell .. ill even tell them myself if they missed a record or two .
i dont give a shit .. if they want to observe my life, fine fuck'm i dont care
can they do any thing to affect my life this way? no! they cant, thats why i dont care.
if someone will arrest me for looking at certain sites, its like arresting me for reading certain books, and i am willing to fight for my freedom in court as much as it takes!!

how can it hurt? when you want clearance for a job.
say, is Israel fixing to bomb Iran?
I would highly advise you to relocate before that.
Israel is making it's self into a target.
this country too, for it's support of Israel is a target.

Since you don't want to die for a cause you don't believe in ...
the last time there were bombs outside your residence, that was too close!
I don't think Israel is going to have many friends if they bomb Iran.
The PResident of Iran was on our tv, interviewed recently, he said, they want nuclear power and america wants them dependent on oil
they refuse to comply.
other countries are taking their side, Russia and China, so I heard.
Our Congress has switched to Democrat last week.
bush won't get funds for war as easily as before.
israel may not get the support from the us it is counting on.
I am one who hopes it doesnot.
israel acts like it is above the law.
I don't want you to be hurt over the mistakes of the government.
time to come visit your gf?

isn't there a student exchange program?!
you could continue in another country, here maybe?
have your gf scout out schools that are in your field and ask them
if there is a student exchange program?
UC Berkeley had it

Northfork: I would get get one as soon as possible if I were you.
