Question

Going Crazy: Why No Sound w. Flash 9 in some but not all sites w/ embedded video?

i have going crazy with no sound w/ Flash Player 8 or 9 in Internet Explorer (IE) with playing embedded video. this problem occurs with many websites with embedded youtube or other flash videos. the sound bar was set to zero, but even if i drag it to a higher level, there is no sound. yet, when the same video is played from youtube directly, it works perfectly.

when i uninstall Flash 8 or 9 and reinstall an older version such as Flash 7, the sound plays perfectly without problem.

i am running win xp professional sp2. latest updates/patches installed. ie 6.

i have tried the following:
1. the k-lite codec trick - does not work.
2. scanned for virus/spyware - none found.
3. uninstall all Flash w/ adobe uninstaller and reinstall the latest build - does not work.
4. clean out all registry entries related to flash and reinstall - does not work
5. deleted quicktime - does not work

can someone please help me? i searched everywhere and this is driving me mad. i saw simliar posts but none describes my situation and offers a fix.

    Try this, it worked for me.

    Go into your control panel in the start menu.

    Then go into Sound and Audio Devices Icon.

    Then click on the audio tab

    On the sound playback section click on the drop down menu

    click select your sound device (for me it was soundblaster 24 as an example).

    click apply, and your audios like .flv and similar files viewed in yoututbe or dailymotion should work.

    For some reason something modified my settings and set it to modem #0 Line Playback.


    I hope this helps , for this problem could possible be related to my CPU only. Try it anyways.

    I just found this forum today and have pretty much been through this entire thread, trying most everything suggested, but to no avail.

    All sound works on my computer (iTunes, Windows Media Player, Quicktime etc), but nothing on YouTube or similar sites will give me sound. Video, yes. Sound, no.

    I am almost CERTAIN it is related to my having installed Windows Defender last weekend. The trouble started almost immediately it seems. I've since uninstalled it as completely as I could, but still nothing. I've tried. the missing.reg thing, I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times, all that....and NOTHING.

    Anyone have any other ideas??

    Thank you!

    Still no sound on Youtube and you tried everything?
    I would also go here:
    http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html

    on the left side slick on Global Notifications settings panel
    Global storage Settings panel
    A box will or should load up on the right side
    Make sure Youtube is in there. Just one more thing to try.
    I mak have to have the Geek Squad fix it for $30.00.
    It will be worth it.

    Wow I finally fixed it!

    Bizarrely it had nothing to do with the software...

    I saw a few posts where people said they fixed their problems by changing the audio cables. I only have a couple speakers and my sub hooked up right now, and for some reason putting the "front" cable into the "rear" slot on the sound card caused the sound to start working again!

    I don't understand why, but I'm happy anyway.
