Hmmm, I have been experiencing this, I think. Occasionally, I'll try playing a video, and there will be no sound. I thought it was just that the video poster had made an error. I don't do anything to fix it, and other videos will play just fine, even after a video has had sound problems, or even while another video is having sound problems. Next time this happens, I'll download the silent video and see if it has audio when played locally. The only place I recall having this happen is at youtube. I don't use flash, so it might be something to do with their html5 player. Or maybe a plugin? I suspect that closing the site tab, deleting the cookies from the site where the problem occurred, closing the browser, and then re-opening the browser and the site would fix the problem. Maybe even just closing the tab for the site, removing its cookie, and re-visiting the site would work. Depends if it is the site or the browser causing the problem. I have never had a problem with audio on local videos, so I conclude it is not a hardware or alsa or pulse problem. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
