F5 and other volume controls including the speakers cannot solve the issue. YouTube has been fine on Firefox forever, till last week. Now the volume is barely there at all. All ok with Chrome so its not the laptop? Thanks

First, thanks for the replies, I checked all of them. The Silverlight plug in needed an update which fixed the problem. Prior to that I updated and reloaded just about all the rest and emptied all the caches. Pretty much the last bullet!

You appear to already have the most current Flash plugin.

Did you check the volume setting for the plugin container process in the volume mixer while a video is playing?

You can also try to clear the Flash local storage and settings for YouTube or all of them.

  • Windows Control Panel > Flash Player, click Delete All and Delete Data
