Sound in YouTube is very low
I have a Dell Inspiron 15, purchased in May 2014. I am running Windows 7 Home. I have been having this problem intermittently for the past two weeks or so.
I have: - checked to see that sound is not muted. - upgraded Adobe Flash player to latest version. - checked online to see if MS updates might have caused the problem and then, - done a system restore for Windows back to 9/29/2014 - tested my speakers on another machine (Windows XP machine that I replaced in May). Speakers are fine and I get sound from YouTube on that machine. - cleared the Firefox cache.
I can hear sound from other web applications that use FlashPlayer (e.g., podcasts).
Thanks for any help you can offer me.

There are two things to check. First is the volume control of the computer. The second, is the volume control in the video window.

Thanks, Fred McD. I'd already cleared the cache, but the rest of this solution solved my problem. Thanks again!
Glad to help.
