    I am having the same problem. Only my problem just started yesterday for no apparent reason.

    I was watching movies on YouTube, and suddenly the movies stopped playing the sound.

    Then today, I was watching a movie and the audio fizzed out right in the middle of the playback and it hasn't returned! Its the same whether I use Firefox or IE. Flash just won't play sounds!

    I checked my machine via regedit and that little trick posted above won't help me. That "wavemapper" already exists!

    I had the same problem and eventually found a thread where someone solved the problem.



    Go Start->Run

    Type Regedit

    Open the following folders:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE->Microsoft->Windows NT->Drivers32

    On the toolbar at the top, select Edit->New string value

    Name it wavemapper

    Right-click on wavemapper->Modify

    Type under Value data->msacm32.drv



    Problem solved!

    will this process work if you're running windows xp pro sp2? i have the same problem where i was not getting any audio playback whatsoever. i was able to play mp3's via windows media player, winamp and my music editing programs. but if i go to youtube, soundclick, or any sites where i can stream media i'll get video but no audio.
