"No sound" -- I have that problem SO many times these days and sometimes it takes forever to track it down. The place I start is 1) is the sound level up on my computer (quick keypress on Mac keyboard) and then 2) look for the often small, obscure "no sound" icon (below). It's always in a different location on every single platform on the web and often hard to find. I had one the other day that took me forever to find. Then 3) try another web page. Or 4) quit browser and restart browser. 5) Test another browser. Lastly, of course, 6) restart computer. It's all so maddening.

Don't get me started on trying to get sound going in my 2014 Ford Expedition! That sometimes takes 20 minutes and I'm over half way to my destination. I've got a failing GPS chip and failing Bluetooth chip in the entertainment unit that cause all sorts of problems.

It's worth it to get the sound going on this ad. Trust me!

I had to let it play through and then refresh the page. Worked the second time. It may be getting lots of hits, but I don’t know if that messes up the sound or not.

Click the video screen, uncheck the sound off button, restart the video. Happens a lot on X videos.
