sounds like a problem with windows media player.

Hello Nick,

I would normally suspect this but on the same machine as the web browser I
am able to pull the video file directly into windows media player on a
different route and it works with sound.
Same recording, different vector is pulling the file into another computer.
One vector via web browser .. no sound.  Same windows media player.
One vector via samba file-server share and it does have the sound.

So this leads me to think the packaging and unpackaging of the recorded
video via the web browser has somehow striped off the audio portion of the
stream.
