How to find the secret Start Menu built into Windows 8.1
I don't use Windows 8.1, but my wife does, so I added this menu for her. http://www.pcworld.com/article/29276...indows-81.html |

I see what looks like a Flash video on the right side of the screen. It's possible the music is coming from there. I use FlashBlock to control unwanted movie playback when visiting sites. (Where "movie" can be just an audio track. My local news site presents some material as audio reports.) As far as I know, there are ways to play audio without Flash, but I don't think that concept is very popular any more. I have one browser, which has neither HTML5 nor Flash, and it's as silent as can be. And the other browser, which has both HTML5 and Flash, it's silent until I click the FlashBlock play button.

I agree about FlashBlock. But I use YouTube a lot, with HTML5. Chrome has extensions for it that allow speed control of the video by pressing S or D (up or down). Volume control with the mouse scroll wheel while on the video. And of course other settings. The easy to use speed control is the funnest. |
