No sound from my monitor speakers when playing music vids-HELP!

Soz-you'll all be sick of me (!). Have a windows 7 computer downstairs. Lots of RAM \& memory. It plays the annoying 'windows start up sound' (so speakers work in monitor-no other ones fitted)-but NO sound on playing back you tube pop vids, etc.....any ideas? Sure it's something simple. Sorry to mither you (again!).

Any help would be appreciated!:beer:

    There should be a speaker icon in the system tray where you can access the mixer settings. Maybe certain applications have the sound turned down...?

    And also at the bottom of the video itself - there should be a little speaker icon - check it.

    Glad you got it working, but how did the monitor speakers play the Windows startup sound if you didn't have the required audio cable?
