Sound Card Issues

[akinlolu olugboji]

On my laptop, no sound is heard when the application(Youtube, Facebook video, Video media in twitter etc)  is inside the browser. Download and run the same videos or audio out of the browser via window media player etc you get sound. Am lost any points as to how these can be resolve? Same problem on both browsers, Chrome and IE.

1. Check the sound settings (volume level, volume mixer settings, in Control panel - check the audio devices ->audio and there first section... Sound Playback...Default Device...make sure it's on the correct speakers... check the proper one and Apply. If there is no audio playback device there, check it in Device manager, maybe there is something screwed with the drivers.

2. Check the Java and Flash installed on your machine. Make sure they are installed properly. I would suggest complete uninstall and reinstall both.

3. If nothing from the above help try to reinstall sound card drivers by downloading them from the laptop brand support site.
