Speakers work, alerts work, but there is no sounf from YouTube. I have uninstalled and reinstalled flashplayer. I am technologically challenged. Any help out there using small words and symbols to help? Please?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8), No headphones...nothing.
do you by chance have surround sound media playing while trying to play youtube videos? have you unchecked the mute button in the youtube player?

Same problem here. When I load a website that has sound (such as YouTube), a little red light comes on (looking into the headphones port) and the volume controls all have a circle/slash thru them.
In the system preferences>>sound ------ the option for "internal speakers" does not appear (as it does on my other Macbook). The only choice shown is "digital out". So the system software thinks there are no internal speakers.
Is there an Apple tip sheet how to get the sound going again? Not interested in any hacks, workarounds, probes, paperclips, drivers. How does an Apple tech solve this problem on a Macbook Pro running OS X 10.6.8?
I called Apple Support. Apple Technician said there is a mechanical switch inside that hole; that is toggled when you poke a headphones plug in there. Sometimes it gets stuck. So poke a headphones plug in and pull it out. If the red light goes away, then you have solved it (and now in preferences>sound you will see the "internal speakers" option).
I had to poke the headphones plug in twice.
I had this problem and it was really simple, after trying all the above solutions and still no cigar... and restarting the pooter about three times... Youtube has a volume slider and I had it slid that to no volume instead of sliding the frames to the start!
Hope this helps silly people like me 😊
Ha! I just had the same problem and I followed your advice, Hevnleigh. Voila! Sound!
Thank you sooooooo much, this idiotic problem has been plaguing me FOR MONTHS!!! I don't know when YouTube added the little volume toggle on their vids (which I don't recall seeing before...) but I looked and VOILA! The default setting is apparently "no sound", so I pushed the little toggle switch all the way to the right and... (gasp!) SOUND AND VIDEO TOGETHER! And I'm a Macgeek! Man, is MY face red! Thanks so much for this simple solution!!! YOU ROCK! (Although I may never live this one down...) :-)
Macbook pro...no sound from youtube.
