YouTube has no sound—any fixes?

I can't get my music to play because the audio is totally cut off, plus the bottom toolbar is completely frozen up
so I can't click anything or open any menus. It’s happening on a ton of my tracks—not all of them, but enough to be a massive pain.

Thanks a million for the help

Go ahead and update Adobe Flash Player and Shockwave Player.

You should also grab the latest version of Java, download Norton, run a full system scan, and wipe out whatever it flags.

Restart your computer. Once you're back up, download CCleaner, install it, and clean out the registry. That should fix everything.

If things still aren't right, just update whichever browser you're using.

Maybe run a scan on the computer using Norton, then make sure you update Adobe Flash Player to the latest version.

... I ran a scan with Norton, but I have no clue why my system just locked up on me—it was such a struggle to get it running again 🤦
And I can't even update Adobe Flash Player because Google Chrome handles that automatically, plus CCleaner did its thing and now everything is running smooth as silk, thank goodness

Give Google Chrome a shot. Personally, I find it handles Adobe Flash Player a bit more smoothly than Chrome does.

He’s claiming it isn't an issue—apparently, the audio is working perfectly fine on all the videos! But, if we're looking at more recent uploads, isn't it possible that the sound was actually muted by a moderator to stay compliant with copyright laws?
