Question

Flash video has no audio

A couple of days ago, out of the blue, all flash video (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.) stopped working properly.  The video will run perfectly fine, but there is no audio at all.

I've looked around and have tried several methods:

  • Uninstalling and reinstalling Flash
  • Installing an older, known to work version of Flash
  • Deleting temporary internet folders
  • Deleting Flash's temporary folders
  • Tried loading the video in IE, Firefox, and Chrome (don't think it's a browser thing, Netflix video works fine)
  • Emptying the browsers' caches
  • Checking all volume audio settings
  • Checking physical connections (.avi, .mpg, etc. still have audio)
  • Trying with Flash's "Enable Hardware Acceleration" both on and off
  • Allowed third-party Flash content in Flash's advanced settings
  • Did the msacm32.drv registry trick
  • Ran CCleaner
  • Installed newest video drivers

I'm at a complete loss.  I even asked my rather knowledgable friend and he was stumped too.  Any help would be appreciated.

I'm using HTML 5 now for video but have an old site that likes the flash encodings. 

I had the same problem...  Import one video and it has sound in flash but the next one didn't.  I resolved the issue by launching the flv encoder and encoding the file and then imported the video. 

Hope this helps someone out there.

And an update, I just updated to the newest audio drivers and still nothing.

That's odd that it just all of a sudden stopped.  Besides video, does audio work for any Flash content?  It sounds like you might have already exhausted all of these "fixes" but this page has also been helpful to users in the past:

I've been to several sites such as YouTube, Vimeo, Newgrounds, etc. that use Flash content and none of them provide sound.  Nor do any Flash-based ads on other websites.  Video is perfectly fine, just no audio whatsoever.

And yea, that site was one I've seen pop up in several threads with problems similar to mine.  I tried everything listed on there to no avail.
