Hi, wondering if anyone can help me out. Suddenly i've lost sound in websites such as you tube, google video etc.  I can still play mp3s, videos etc, but there is no sound with video on websites. I haven't changed any settings, or downloaded any new software, it just started happening.  The little VOLUME control in my taskbar has dissapeared and when i go to "sounds and audio devices" in control panel, there is no audio device. Apparently all the audio hardware is WORKING correctly,so i am stumped...and annoyed...NO YOU TUBE!!! :-?Do you have sound anywhere else?Tell US more about your computer.  Which version of Windows?  Using onboard sound or an add-on sound card?  Do you have the drivers for your audio device?  If not, do you know where to get them?This problem is not specific to the web.  Do you have onboard sound, or an add-on card, do you know?  If the former, check it is still ENABLED in the BIOS.  If the latter, check the card is still properly seated.

Feel free to ask if you need further help or instructions.Thaks guys, but i have managed to work it out for myself. i had the wrong devices selected for audio, thats all - silly me. THANKS for being so helpful tho, no doubt i'll have more silly questions in the future!!
