I am having trouble getting the sound to work on some of the videos i try to listen to on the internet, it works on some but not others, but i can always watch the videos?
Maybe some of those videos do not have sound?
Did you check the connection from your speakers to your sound card to make certain the connection is not loose?
This might be due to missing audio codecs. There are some utilities out there which can tell you what video and audio codecs a movie has been encoded by. One such utility is "AVIcodec". Install it and check if the audio codec the movie uses is installed on your system.
Sorry, I didn't pay attention. Now I realize it's about online video streams. As far as I know, they cannot be checked with AVIcodec, but neverheless the problem might be related to missing audio codecs. Try to find info on the website you are viewing, what kind of codecs they are using.
Thanks for the replys . speakers ok , i thought it might be the audio drivers .. will try the codecs and post back .
Problem solved ,downloaded the codecs from this site . thanks for your help guys .
