Is it just me?

I can't watch any videos on Youtube because the volume randomly gets jacked up to the nth degree for a few seconds. Is it because of that Snoopavision thing? 'Cause it didn't do that yesterday, and today isn't April first. ;/

Randomly picked a few youtube vids and none doing anything strange.

Messed up any audio settings in Windows?

What setting jacks up the volume so loud that the whole house can hear it, at random intervals, for a few seconds? O_o

I just finished watching a twenty minute video on another site and it didn't happen. The two videos on Youtube that I watched (before I stopped watching any more videos there) had it happen within ten minutes (which was about their length, anyway).

No idea what the problem is. I've been watching Youtube vids a fair chunk of the afternoon, and I haven't noticed anything weird.

I considered that it might be a virus or something, but when I turned my computer's volume to 100% (from 60%) it didn't even get close to the level of volume that I had experienced. And now I have to wonder if the volume of a video can be raised that high, despite my TV volume being the same. Unless a computer virus can affect my TV volume, too... I'm just confused. X_X

If you are using external speakers, it might be their amplifier. Random glitches are random. Try watching a DVD to see if it happens -- it's easily within the realm of chance that a glitch would accidentally show up on youtube only, but more viewing might show it to be widespread.

If there is a manual (rotating knob) volume control on the system, it might occasionally be losing its ground connection. That would jack up the volume something awful.

Nah, the speakers are a part of the TV.

I've been watching Youtube at a lower volume setting on my TV, and it hasn't happened again, so, yeah... *Shrugs confusedly*

Only other thing I can think of is that the videos were recorded at a higher volume...

That's logical. The skill levels of Youtube contributors are all over the place. Some might have volume trouble.
