My Audio on a DU video just shut off this AM. My Audio works on the YouTube version & every other site. What gives?

The first time no audio happened was when DU's new version came on; now it's happened again, but lost audio has only happened here on DU. (Rebooting -- a Mac Air with Monterrey OS -- hasn't fixed it. )

I'm grateful to anyone who knows the solution for this, because it's frustrating.

Thanks for the tip, dweller! I'll check out where I've muted (likely more than a few) and see if that helps. ancianita Apr 2024 #2

In a video that I opened I clicked the speaker icon to mute it , then opened another video and found it was already muted too.

Perhaps you’ve muted them ?
Check the speaker 🔈 icon at the bottom of the vid

Edit: I also checked YouTube while I had vids muted on DU , and vids were not muted there.

I figured since it did work elsewhere, but not here it had to be DU based.

Yes, I checked other sites and figured that out, so that's why I posted here.
I'll just pay closer attention to my leaving windows open while checking other videos -- guess that's what happens. Now I know.
