Unmuting YouTube

I muted YouTube the other day and could not unmute it. I thought maybe I needed to fix a setting on my soundcard.

I rebooted my computer and I even went into my sound card via Control Panel. All to no avail.

Finally, I decided to listen to sound on another website and sound was working perfectly. OK, I thought to myself. This is a YouTube problem.

Finally, I realized that that upright bar that I had moved to the left on YouTube was the volume control. Silly me! I had the volume turned all the way off.

As of this writing, the volume control is to the right side of the mute/unmute button. In addition to unmuting, I needed to slide the volume control slider to the right.

Such a simple solution!

The lesson? When trying to solve a problem, explore simple possibilities first. So often in life, the answers to our problems are simple!
