Question: I can’t hear the sounds that the internet is supposed to play, for example: videos on youtube or music on like MySpace profiles. My speakers are plugged in and functional. I have tried all of the steps that were recommended to me. I still have no idea what my problem is.
This might be important but I don’t know, when I got to Playlist.com and I try to play a song, the song loads but wont start, and it doesn’t show the songs length either, it just says it’s 0 minutes long.
Previous answer:
Number 6 might help you on this list….
Make sure the speakers are plugged into the green jack. Also make sure it securely plug in and powered (If amplified).

2. Double-click Sounds and Audio Devices.
3. Click Show volume control on the taskbar.
4. Click OK.
When you have the new desktop features enabled, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. Click Sounds, click Speech, and then click Audio Devices.
3. Click Sounds, and then click Audio Devices.
4. Click Show volume control on the taskbar.
5. Click OK.
If that doesn’t work then try this.
Go to “Start”..”Control Panel”…”Internet Options”…Click the “Advanced Tab”…scroll down to multimedia and put a check mark in play sounds on websites.
Then go to “Tools”…”Manage Add ons”…and make sure everything is enabled.
Then close Internet Explorer and reopen
