No audio while streaming videos when using Firefox

Sometimes when I try to stream a video from sites like putlocker, sockshare, youtube etc. the video plays fine but there's no audio. Sometimes the audio will play if I reload the page. Also, if the video is playing and I pause it and then play it after some time, the audio may go off again. This is happening a little more often now and its annoying. If I play the same in another browser, the audio plays just fine.

Does this issue occur with another browser? If not have you checked with What to do if Firefox won't play any sounds ?

Did you check the volume setting in the Flash player?

You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:

  • disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
  • disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later

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

Flash Website Storage Settings panel:

Global Storage Settings Panel:

Thank you for the reply. Appreciate it! Yes I have checked the volume settings n everything is just fine. The Flash player is version 11.5. I do not have the RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin installed. Its just that sometimes when you open a webpage with video, the video loads and then starts playing but there's no sound at all no matter how much I tinker with the flash settings or the volume control. I usually comes back if I reload the page once or twice. The problem is not there at all when I open the site on Chrome or even IE for that matter!

Regards!
