I'd ask in the computer help forum, but... ya.
I've been trying to figure out why my computer sound is so quiet when playing videos. But only in certain circumstances.
Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, etc. If I am watching a video on these services, on their websites, the sound is VERY quiet. I have to set my computer to max, the video sound setting to max, etc. And even then I can barely hear it.
Yet, if I have an embedded video, it is much louder.
If I play this video embedded in the website here:
I can listen to it comfortably at max volume setting with Youtube and my computer speaker volume set to 10%
If I visit the website, here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qh2sWSVRrmo
To get the same volume output, I have to crank my computer speaker volume to over 50%.
I have tried multiple settings, including settings inside Flash and other programs dealing with sound settings, something like... smart volume, I can't remember what. I've searched all over.
It seems to be exclusive to Firefox. Watching the video in IE, and the sound is normal, same as if I was watching embedded in Firefox.
