I cannot hear any audio from my browser, Safari 6.0.5, from streaming video (You Tube, for instance), and I tried the Firefox browser with the same results. Is there a preference file corruption problem in play here?
iPhoto '11, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5), Safari 6.0.5, iPhoto 9.4, iTunes 11
Only Youtube, or all Flash sites, such as Vimeo?
It's not a reply to Bronco.
But I have the same problem and I do not want to open another discussion.
None of my browsers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox) works for streaming videos:
a little cross besides the loudspeaker icon.
With Chrome I have:
- suppressed all cookies.
- suppressed all navigation history.
- reset browser initial parameters.
Still no sound with videos on Internet.
My Apple sound parameters are OK: I can listen to music with iTunes.
OSX 10.6.8, Safari 5.1.10
1. System Preferences > Other/ Flash Player > Advanced > Delete All
Press the "Delete All" button
2. Install Adobe Flash Player.

Quit Safari.
Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.
I did exactly what you told me. Tough luck. I have the same problems with the 3 browsers. I will try to uninstall all flash files with Mackeeper. If you have another proposition, you are welcome. And thanks for this first attempt.
Vimeo is fine. Dailymotion OK. But You Tube not. Any idea?
Move the cursor over the audio icon in the YouTube window.
If the volume slider shows up, use it to adjust the volume.
Best.
I will try to uninstall all flash files with Mackeeper.
That could well be the problem. If you search any of the Apple forums for "mackeeper" you will see it is practically malware, pushed on people switching from Windoze who were trained that you need third-party help or teh sky will fall
Get rid of Mackeeper and any other third-party utilities that claim to protect, speed up, or clean your Mac.
MY YOU TUBE STREAMING PROBLEM IS SOLVED.
THANKS EVERYBODY.
Why No Sound with Streaming Videos?
