Hey folks, as you may have noticed, some people are finding that our videos are playing back with no audio. We don't know yet why this is happening, but we have some theories. Attached to this post is the same Visual Studio Documentary video, but re-encoded with WMA 9 instead of WMA 10 that we normally use.

If you ran into issues with the first version, or with any of our recent videos, please try this one out and let us know if the audio works for you.

Audio is very low in the silverlight stream, I have to turn the speakers to 100% and the silverlight volume to 100% to even get a chance to hear it. and I am on windows 7, on silverlight 3. same as the original, audio is slightly louder in this encoding though. Douglas

I hope that you fix your problem. When I had a problem with my computer sound, I change my audio system with pioneer audio. The product is good and the sound of my computer is clean.
