For a couple days now, I've had no sound coming from YouTube videos (embedded or otherwise). Other video sites, yes. YouTube, no. The volume button on the YouTube Player said it was muted (button was red and had an x on it) but wouldn't let me unmute.
The strange thing was that both Firefox and Safari were effected. A Google search failed to find an answer. I'd downloaded the latest version of Flash, and was about to install it to see if that fixed it, when I looked down in my status bar at a TwitterFox pop-up and noticed that FoxyTunes had loaded YouTube as my current player. And the FoxyTunes volume was all the way down, as in muted. Ah ha.
So I moved the volume up in FoxyTunes and finally I had sound! Cool. But each time I loaded a YouTube video, it was muted. And then there was the fact that Safari was effected; no FoxyTunes in Safari. Hmm.
In the FoxyTunes menu, there's a setting in Configuration/Advanced called Disable Player Auto Switching. I've unselected that. Looks like when a YouTube video is loaded into the browser, FoxyTunes switches itself so you can control the video with it. And for some reason it was resetting the volume to mute each time. There's another setting called Update Volume on Startup that might be part of the problem too, but I've wasted enough time on the problem. I'm happy to just have FoxyTunes not interact with YouTube, unless I tell it to. Safari's working too now. I assume it was inheriting the volume setting from Firefox.
