No Sound in YouTube Videos in FireFox

I've been fighting Firefox for the last 6 weeks or so, trying to get it to play YT videos. First, it wouldn't play them at all, until I disabled Realplayer. Then, it played fine for almost 2 weeks, but then it stopped playing sound. All the videos are muted on YouTube, and I cannot unmute them. Other browsers have no problem playing YT videos, and FF can play videos from other sites.
I've gone through all the troubleshooting steps I can find. I've scoured my computer to remove every vestige of Adobe Flash and Adobe Air, then re-installed. I deleted my FF cookies and cache. I still don't have sound in YT.
I'm using Firefox 14.0.1 on Windows 7 (64) with 8 GB RAM.

Try to clear the Flash local storage and settings.
*Windows Control Panel > Flash Player > Storage: Local Storage Settings **Remove a specific domain: Local Storage Settings by site **Remove all domains: Delete All and Delete Data

  • I am unable to watch Youtube videos on Firefox ?

    I don't know why I am unable to play Youtube videos on Firefox (this problem stated around mid Sept. 2014).
    I explored many solutions but in vain. Firefox/flash (I am not sure) is behaving weirdly, I found some solutions on 'Mozilla Support' when I apply these, I am able to play YT videos but after some time (usually after a re-boot) I get the screen "An error occurred please try again Later" and this cycle repeats. I use a public Wifi/LAN of my university and everyone(using Firefox) has the same problem, and everyone noticed the problem at the same time.
    Some solutions I tried are:
    1. Deleting Cache, Cookies, History etc etc
    2. Uninstalling and Re-installing Firefox and flash.
    3. I do have the latest version of both flash and Firefox
    4. Using Firefox in safe-mode (Sometimes even in safe-mode I couldn't play YT videos)
    5. Disabling Hardware Acceleration (though I use a I5 machine with Windows 7 and Intel(R) 3000 Graphics card).
    6. Tweaking DNS settings (changed my DNS server address to 8.8.4.4 etc)
    7. Degrading to previous versions of Firefox (I used FF 28.0 in Linux worked fine for a while and then the problem repeats itself)
    I am confused, I am not sure where the problem is, because I use Linux(Ubuntu 14.04) and Windows 7 and in both of them Firefox won't play YT videos but Chromium/Chrome does. As I said before videos would play for certain time and then they would stop playing giving me "An error occurred please try again Later......". Another observation is there were only 2 resolutions (1020p and 240p ) available and the result won;t change even if I change them.

    Hi, first of all Thank you for your instant response.
    Yes, I have updated to version 33, Now the problem is not as random as it was before. I found that I have absolutely no issues when I use FF for the first time after starting my computer. At this point there is no issue at all I can watch videos when both logged-in/logged-out and also they work perectly if I switch between flash and HTML5.
    But as soon as I restart Firefox I cannot watch the videos at all. No matter if I am logged in/logged out, I did try HTML5 but still it didn't work. The error message was same in all the cases "An error occurred, please try again later".
    We are secured by "Cyberoam" so I don't have access to proxy sites.
    By the way these observations are for Windows 7.

  • Suddenly No Sound on YouTube Videos

    In the last couple of weeks, I suddenly have no sound on YouTube Videos and a few other Interent sites.  I still have sound for some sites such as Ted.com and sound for local and previously downloaded videos so I know my sound card works.   I've double checked the sound volumes in Preferences and have tried restarting the computer.    Any suggestions?

    Unmute the speaker icon

  • When i open a youtube video in firefox it immediately shows that whole video is streamed when it is yet to stream fully

    I am using Firefox 3.6.13. When i open a youtube video in firefox it immediately shows that whole video is streamed (the progress bar shows red instead of grey). But the whole video is yet to be streamed. The information of how much is streamed becomes unavailable.
    Listing 2 of the problems encountered because of this
    1. Unable to estimate how much time I have to wait before the video is fully streamed
    2. Cannot go forward or backward in the video in the streamed part.
    (This problem does not occur in IE. I tried the link given below)

    I think once I did not even see the page in my history

  • There used to be a grey progress bar on youtube videos on Firefox, which doesn't come anymore.; it shows up on IE though; how can I fix it in Firefox?

    Youtube videos on Firefox do not buffer anymore.

    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
    * Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
    * Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    * Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)
    Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    * Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    * Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • I used to watch n download YouTube videos on Firefox till ystday. Now, the videos wont play and the download stopped working, while the videos do play on Chrome

    I used to watch and download YouTube videos on Firefox. Since yesterday, videos have stopped loading, and an error message is shown saying videos can't be played. When I click on the download button, a new page pops up (which never used to happen before) which says "Server not found: Firefox can't find the server at r12---sn-h557sne7.googlevideo.com."
    I have tried almost all suggestions found in various forums. The problem is not yet rectified. Its irritating.

    You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
    You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Why does watching YouTube videos in Firefox cause my video driver to crash, but I can watch the same video in IE8 without a problem?

    For the past few days, I suddenly can't watch any YouTube videos in Firefox without having the video driver crash every few seconds. The screen freezes too, and I have a hard time getting my cursor to the "X" to close the tab. One time it was so bad my computer crashed and rebooted.
    I am able to watch the same videos in Internet Explorer 8 without any problems. I am also able, as far as I know, to watch videos in Firefox on other sites like CNN.com without any problems.
    My computer information below looks correct. It's a Gateway Model#MX6453, my video driver is an ATI Radeon Xpress 1150.

    I fixed this by disabling hardware acceleration. YouTube videos seem to work fine now.
    This link was provided in an other YouTube problem: Flash "Display settings" window:
    [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html]
    I had to go to a site other than YouTube that had flash content (like a video on CNN.com), right-clicked on the flash video, selected "Settings" on the menu, then unchecked "Enable hardware acceleration" on the display tab. For good measure I closed Firefox and opened it again. Since then no more driver errors. (crosses fingers)

  • Why am suddenly unable to view YouTube Videos on Firefox. I am still able to view on Internet Explorer

    I am not able to view any YouTube videos on YouTube or Facebook whilst using Firefox. My Flash Player/Plugin/Shockwave Player & Javascript are all the most recent and all show as up to date and working. On selecting a video to view I now have a blank screen which I have right clicked on & notice there is an Adhoc Plus - Block Image message and wonder if this should be there as this is not the case when viewing through Internet Explorer (which still allows me to view all videos & shows that I have Flash Player installed when I right click on the same screen). I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled to see if this would solve the problem but this has made no difference. I have also noticed on my Firewall that Javascript is not showing as an Exception and changed this to find that this has made no difference either. I am now at a complete loss - can anyone help me please as I would like to keep using Firefox. Many thanks

    There are a number of active threads concerning the latest Flash player plugin (11.3) and the latest Firefox (13). Not all users are experiencing the same issues, but things to check include the following:
    - Conflict with Realplayer Browser Record plugin (to disable this, open Add-ons from the orange Firefox button or the classic Tools menu and look under the Extensions and Plugins categories)
    - Conflict with Flash 11.3 Protected Mode (see [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0 Adobe Forums: How do I disable Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?])
    Scanning down the front of the forums probably will yield additional suggestions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions

  • No sound on youtube videos/audio posts but itunes works.

    When I go to youtube, the volume on the youtube videos are up all the way and so is my sound but nothing is heard. I've tried multiple videos. Also, when I'm on tumblr, the audio posts don't play either BUT when I listen to itunes, the tracks play perfectly and I can hear it.

    YouTube uses Adobe Flash, maybe you can re-install Flash or right click on the video and check the sound settings

  • No sound on YouTube videos since I upgraded Flashplayer. Anyone got a fix?

    There is no audio on YouTube videos, and videos from any other site that uses Flashplayer. Audio is fine on sites that do not use Flashplayer. Have tried resetting Firefox, as well as removing and reinstalling Flashplayer, but with no success.

    Thanks, but I had already checked out audio-related stuff and figured out that the problem had to do with the Adobe Flash Player (aka Shockwave Flash) plugin. I finally solved it by uninstalling Flash Player (using a special tool downloaded by Adobe), deleting a bunch of files created by Flash Player in various locations on my computer, and then reinstalling Flash Player. Instructions on how to do this can be found here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html

  • I am not able to play any youtube video on Firefox, while the same video plays on IE and Chrome.

    FireFox was playing youtube videos with no issues until yesterday. Suddenly none of the youtube videos are paying on FireFox. The error message is "An error has occurred. Please try again later"
    I tried the following
    1. Uninstall and Reinstall Firefox
    2. Uninstall and Reinstall Flash
    3. Restart my laptop
    No luck with anything. The same videos play fine on IE and Chrome.

    Hi mje397,
    Sorry for the delay. I have been investigating this and it may have to do with saved preferences on the computer. If you right click and select "Global Settings" remove stored preferences. I could not find any outage notifications for Youtube.
    Also disable Flash and try the HTML5 player just in case this is a plug in issue. This can happen specifically when there are network issues or there are changes being made to the videos on the hosted site.
    Please post back with your results, it could help other users!

  • Updated to IOS6 on my iPad 2. Now I do not get sound with YouTube videos. Anyone know a fix?

    Ever since I updated my IOS to six I have not been able to get sound when playing YouTube videos in the safari browser. Does anyone know of a fix for this?

    I had the same problem there is no fix except to go to Apple store and get a replacement phone. Or buy a newer phone. I tried everything as well. SIM Card, Restore, etc.  Try to do a full restore and add the phone back into Itunes as a new phone not from the back-up and see if that works first. If it doesn;t get a new phone. Then when you get the new phone set it up as a new phone as well do not use your back-up or the same thing will happen. Stay using 4.3.3 until version 5.01 comes out which will hopefully be soon
