Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] YouTube video volume
Tim and Kevin,
On my system, not only does YouTube volume diminish, sometimes it even goes
away completely. It often happens after an MS security update. getting at
the volume control on YouTube is tricky, but here are three methods that
work with IE11, though inconsistently.
1. The easiest is to change the volume on Accessible YouTube, which seems to
carry over to the volume on everyone's YouTube. Go to
http://www.povidi.com/yourtube/
Press alt-p for play, t hen up arrow to raise the volume in increments.
The other two methods might or might not work on the regular YouTube
website:
2. To reach the player and volume controls, turn off the virtual cursor with
insert-z, then tab a couple of times . (Thanks to Mario and another lister
for this one.) In my case, I had to shift-tab twice. This method did not
work the last time I tried.
3. Again insert-z to turn off the virtual cursor, then tab down to "theater
mode." Then up arrow like crazy to raise the volume. (this method also
didn't work the last time I tried.)
I'm sorry that I can't give a definitive answer, but I can confirm that
volume is a real problem on YouTube and that player control accessibility is
poor. However, one of these methods ought to work. FYI, my system is Win7
64-bit, and I've used these methods with JAWS 16 and 17, and probably also
with 15. I can't remember if I tried Firefox. I did try Chrome, but that
browser created such havoc on my system, as it does for a lot of people,
that I uninstalled it.

I am using Windows 7, and it has always been this way, a few random videos
are much lower volume.

actually all the videos I view are low, I just view music.
when I was using windows 7 the music was fine in volume now I'm using
windows 10 and this is the first youtube problem that has occurred.

I am no expert, but I was just on YouTube, and as is my usual experience, a
few random videos are at a very low volume compared with the others. I do
not think you are doing anything wrong, nor can you control the situation;
the low volume is in the original recording. If I am wrong, I would love to
know that and find a solution!

Subject: [JAWS-Users] youtube video volume
lately when I view youtube content on internet explorer the volume is low.
even if I download them using dvdvideosoft youtube to mp3 converter the
downloaded file is still low. the master volume on my computer is at 100
percent and my windows media player volume is at 100 percent what else needs
to be at max volume?
Email is golden!!!
