Maybe your speakers are off, or your flash plugin isn't configured to
allow sound or is using the wrong sound device, or something else is
using the sound device and not sharing.

No ISP would go through the trouble of trying to take apart flash
programs in a stream and modify them.  That's just rediculous to even
consider.  The problem is with your computer or setup of it, not with
your ISP and almost certainly not with youtube either.
