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.

    I tried all the fixes in this forum and nothing worked. Then was advised from another site to run "sndvol32" and check volume levels, mute off, etc. But sndvol32 was gone - probably deleted by malware.

    Anyway I downloaded and installed the file from this site (which includes instructions): http://forums.techguy.org/multimedia/517401-sndvol32-exe-missing.html

    Then rebooted and went to Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > Audio Tab, then re-selected my sound card in 2 places (it was not present when sndvol32 was missing).

    Worked like a charm.

    Peace out.

    I did some googling, and I found the following article:

    http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/08/15/fix-windows-no-system-sound-and-audio-problem/

    I then did a search on K-Lite Codec Pack, and found what looked like a safe site to download it from at: http://www.free-codecs.com/K_Lite_Codec_Pack_download.htm.

    I downloaded the Basic version.

    I installed ONLY the Codec Tweak Tool, and was waiting for it to install so I could open it up and run it. However, before it finished installing, it asked me something like: “You are missing vital registry keys. This may cause some sounds to not work. Would you like this problem fixed?” I said YES, and voila, I didn’t even have to open the tweak tool…my sound is back to 100%. Flash and system sounds are now fully functioning. Hooray!

    Now when I look in the registry the Drive32 section that was missing before is magically there again. So, it was that after all, all it took was a tool that could fix it.
