I'm using Vista 64-bit, on my Hewlett-Packard "Pavilion Media
Center" (model "m8407c") desktop computer. At the "YouTube"
site, many videos are silent.

Whereas, on my pair of no-name Android 10.1" tablets, the
audio always plays.

Possibly - you need to update flash player on your computer, incl web
browser plugins.

Possibly your browser or youtube app is redirecting to HTML5 filtered
"mobile app" links on youtube.
Some older android (< v 3.x ?) tablets may still support flash.

You might consider getting Firefox, if you don't already have it,
and adding the DownloadHelper extension. DH finds media linked
in the page and provides a direct download. On the down side,
DH doesn't seem to work with most sites, including Vimeo. On the
upside, it does work on youtube, and whenever Google breaks
compatibility the DH author updates.

I've never "viewed" a video on youtube, and I generally don't
enable script, so it wouldn't work for me anyway. I just download
the video using DH. Then I have it later. (If I saw it once it's likely
I'll want to see it again.) For viewing, the open source VLC Media
Player can play just about anything.

Video websites go to great lengths to hide the source URL in an
attempt to get people to think they're "viewing", as in TV. But you
have to download the .FLV or other file in order to see it at all. It's
really kind of silly to force people to download it and then hide it
from them.

I'd just done so, recently; the issue remains, though.

One is 2.2 and the other, 4.0.

I had downloaded it (from your Web site), around a couple of months
ago. Couldn't get to work with "Internet Explorer" (version 9), and
I hate "Firefox" (uninstalled the latter browser, in fact).

For my PC, I employ "aTube Catcher" and on my Android devices, I
choose "TubeMate" (both freeware). They allow YouTube videos to
be downloaded and played, quite easily.

Interesting. I didn't know about that. I'll have to try
it on Vimeo.

Oops, sorry, that was yet another momentary brain outage, on my part.
I'd simply followed your advice and then, obtained "DownloadHelper"
elsewhere.

Thanks, but...no luck, once again.
