I think that's a critique of the uselessness of whatever trendy new iDevice is currently popular. I don't have the slightest interest in tablets. If you're consuming content via the internet I guess I can understand it but I'm not into consuming content as much as most people.

If you have a tape deck or an audio input, you can play music from your phone, streamed or saved. I have to do it every time I drive to my parents house.

Finally hooked up this tv that's been sitting around. Cool, it works.

Bought an HDMI cable to connect my computer. It works.

Go to the sound setting and send the audio to the tv. It works.

Open up a youtube playlist. It works.

Next song loads. No audio.

Mess with computer settings. It's sending audio to the tv. Disable, enable, set as default, test, etc. No audio.

Turn off tv. Youtube moves over to main monitor. Turn back on tv. Audio works.

Slide youtube back over. Full screen. No audio.

Turn off tv. Youtube moves over to main monitor. Turn back on tv. Audio works.

...ad infinitum...

I can get a video to play on my tv, and it'll have audio, but if anything happens to it (change quality, screen size, new video loads), I lose audio and have to turn the tv off and back on to get audio and drag the video back over.

AH!

Weird, I had that exact same problem with a relatively small flat screen Visio my father gave us years ago, because he got a bigger one. I tried messing with the drivers, different browsers, all kinds of digging in the menu system. I look it up online, and I don't find anything of use. I never thought anyone else would have the same problem. I was like sweet, who needs little monitors when I can use this. Hmm, guess I need little monitors. Now it plays Nick Jr. all day, so I guess it worked out. I just didn't expect anyone else to have the same problem.

Yeah, there are a ton of people who can't get audio.

I didn't see any where the person gets audio, but loses it by going full screen, or clicking another video.

Mine was the same as yours though. It would work, then it would stop the second you loaded a different video. That's what made it so weird. Not the weirdest I've seen though.

Back when I used to work in computer support, I once got a case where a person's computer was whispering to them even when it was unplugged from power and the speakers. We all thought the person was crazy. I went out there, and sure enough there were voices coming from the unplugged computer. I put my ear up close, and it sounded like a radio ad. The speaker jack was just barely touching the audio socket. I moved it away, the voices stopped. I touched it, the voices started. I turned the computer case, the voices wouldn't start again. I turned it back, they could start if you touched the socket just right. Apparently, the computer case was aligned just right to be a passive receiver, kind of like an RFID badge, for a single radio station. Weirdest thing I've ever heard.

I've seen that happen with some solid state guitar amps. Never tried it with my tube amps.

Its the pickups on the guitar that do that not the amp. Specifically single coil pickups have the potential to grab radio stations. It can happen on any amp.
