This isn't the right forum to ask. The internet isn't at fault here. What are you watching on? PC? If PC, update your flash player, sound card, and video drivers. If on smart tv/ blu ray player, go to the app store and see if there are any updates for the app.

Try SuperUser Tech Support Guy (I think. Dslr may also have what you need. Check there.

Good luck.

There is an issue with Flash and Youtube, where the video is 'mute'(actually, volume zero) as default.

theres on thread on DSLreports about it being a flash cookie that gets deleted on browser close, etc. But the death of Flash will be nice as HTML5 replaces it.

And....

With the help of Telus Technical Support who I let into my laptop we found out that one has to manually move the curser from the small sound bell icon to the right then it works.
This new move seems to have only started from yesterday.
So I am happy now.

I'm sure everyone else with legitimate issues appreciates being kept on hold whilst you deliberately abuse the customer support system for something you knew full well had nothing to do with TELUS at all.

A perfect gentleman as usual.
Its the many un technical folks like I many seniors,I am 77 that keep the workforce.
If they were like you they would not need a Technical Support division.

Regarding HTML5 implementation on YouTube, has development stalled? It's about time the dreaded Flash player was replaced by something better.

I have not been keeping up on it lately, but I do see intermittent HTML5 Youtube videos come up, as I have flash toggled off.

An issue with HTML5 is the dreaded 'draconian rights management' that content companies want rammed into it and in the future when you don't need various plugins for rendering streamed videos from protected content servers like Netflix(who uses the almost abandoned silverLight plugin) they don't want you easily capturing the video.

YouTube, HTML5 test signup via cookies.

FireFox apparently killing the Flash plugin in Jan 2014 and replacing it with a HTML5 renderer for Flash.

I've got one browser on my smartphone that still has flash capability. Otherwise Android is busy dumping it too.
