Question

No Audio and video buffering

Mar 10, 2017 8:27PM PST

Lately, I'm having problem with my audio (none). And the video is slow and would keep buffering. I tried system restore to a previous date and it worked. Then the problem came again. I tried another system restore and it's no longer working. My laptop is HP and using windows 10. Anyone who can help?

And finally refresh the page, then Bingo! The YouTube audio not working problem sovled!
