    Firefox V54.01

    Lately when I play a youtube video I get no sound. Video portion is fine. I can see and hear the same videos on Chrome and IE with no difficulty.
    Windows 7 latest updates applied.
    I know I don't have the latest version of Firefox but the newer versions have messed up all my add-ons.

    Disable all adds, don't uninstall them. Once all disabled see if youtube sound works. Then enable addons ONE at a time until the culprit is found. Problems like this are most usually caused by addons or extensions, even malware extensions. If no joy doing the above, start a new post in the malware forum.

    Have you checked your FF version? I'm on Version 56.

    yes, I know I don't have latest version, but see my original comment re why that version. Also, it used to work with this version of Firefox. The problem just suddenly popped up so could be, as suggested, one of my add-ons

    I disabled all add-ons. That made no difference. Will start a new post as suggested

    Not sure what problem is but do not think it is malware. Problem is just not addons.

    Unlikely that Windows Audio service is at fault because by default it is Started and set to Automatic. If it is not running then *something* else is stopping it, possible malware or corrupted system files.
