Plays fine for me as well, both on the Dropbox site and when downloaded. Tried a different browser, just to eliminate that as the issue?
Here's a link to one

Thanks Rich I'll try that now!
And how do I do the "quote" thingy here? lol
Okay Rich,
I used Microsoft Edge and it works! So it's a chrome issue. Well what the heck? Why is it all of a sudden not working in Chrome? It's been working in Chrome just fine up until today!?!? Whoa, youtube's not working in Chrome either, what the heck?
AHA!! Somehow Chrome was muted in my Windows Volume mixer. No clue how that could've happened... Thank you everyone!
Thank you Rich!
If you didn't recommend switching browsers I never would've figured it out!
