I finally got the sound back on. I was using Pinnacle Studio 19 a few months ago when all of a sudden, the sound got muted for no reason. Yesterday, I decided I might as well sign up to the stupid Pinnacle forum to see if I could get any answers. The one I got didn't make much sense, but it did lead me to something called B & O Play. One of the options, the one for allowing sound from more than one program running at a time, had been turned off, but not by me. Because I didn't know it existed. So I turned it back on again. And the sound came back to Pinnacle Studio. So now I can work on my videos again.

YouTube recently e-mailed me informing me I had to tell them if my videos were made for children or not. COPPA is a piece of steaming hot dog diarrhea. Why should the government care what your kids are watching? Seems more like a nanny state more than anything else. If crap like this keeps going, I'll have to tell Yahoo my website isn't meant for kids, even though it can be viewed by them. Yeah, that's the problem the government didn't realize: Some things can be watched by adults AND children. And what's more so, why starting caring almost 20 years after it had been passed?
