It fades out then fades back in immediately as if it was programmed to do this by purpose! Idk, is this supposed to be a feature? well IT ISN'T. I need the videos's volume level to stay as is even if I rewinded/forwarded it a million times. Help?

Already tried the "sound -> communication trick", didn't work.

Did you check your sound driver software? I don't have issues with Audios on youtubbers.

How come?

I have no sound issues at all using Chrome

I switched to Firefox because of the snappier experience, but sound issues on YT? that's a huge bummer.

I tried Chrome and it works fine with both headphones and laptop speakers, Firefox only seem to play video's sound good on headphones, but when I rewind/forward the video, the speaker's sound decreases for a while then fades back in. This is a SERIOUS problem, please help..

For those having the same problem I've fixed it by removing the OEM HD audio driver and left my PC with microsoft's generic HD audio driver. FIXED it. It's relly weird how it doesn't effect Chrome nor IE, only effects Firefox..

I had this problem one day, a while back, also. I only rebooted and and it came back. Strange how it would fade. I didn't wait long to see if it would come back.
