Anybody else experiencing this problem? Happening on my home desktop and my work laptop. I have to manual increase the volume slider to hear sound in the player.

I've been having a similar or same problem. I'll open a video and no sound. I never noticed that it is muted though.

Usually I refresh the page a couple times and it comes back with sound. I figured it was a chrome bug.

Good. So many are using obnoxious music for their videos, I end up muting them anyway.

I kept running into this the other day, and from the lack of any chatter about it, I thought it was just me. :p Glad to know I'm not going (too) crazy!

I figured out my problem... had to disable a flash setting in chrome and now it works.

if someone watches sports video only this may be applicable but most of the stuff I see on youtube is music or spoken stuff so it would be really bad if it happened to me.

Noticed it does this on my work computer, which probably isn't a bad thing. On Firefox. I've found YouTube in general to be kind of flaky since they went mucking around with the player again.

I don't see it as a big problem. Its better than the loud ads that make me fumble for the mute button at work.

I have to adjust the sound setting. Hope they fix this soon.
