Some sound I can hear and some I can't. An mp3 on soundcloud or on my blog, I can't hear, but a video on Youtube I can hear.

Help!

Thank you!

Open Firefox and play contents that should play sound: an HTML5 video with audio track in this Firefox videos page, a Flash sound, etc.

   Click the volume icon in the Windows task bar.
   Make sure the Mute checkbox is not checked and slider is not at the bottom. 

Check your audio device

Make sure that the audio device (such as speakers or headphones) are turned on and connected to the computer properly. Other solutions

Check out whether other applications on your computer can play sounds. If they can't:

   Follow Microsoft's No sound in Windows tutorial. 

If Firefox is the only application that you can't hear sound in:

   Try the solutions in Fix common audio and video issues. 

Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Thank you.

Did you check the media player to make sure that the sound isn't muted?
