Flash player in Windows 7, no streaming MP3s?

Just installed Windows 7 RC (7100), and got the latest Flash player for IE8 and Opera.

My site http://mikemasquith.biz has a music player I created that plays (streams) MP3s from a Flash Comm Server I run.

The player works fine with Flash Player version 10.0.22.87 on other platforms, but not in Windows 7.

Once you pick a song, it should start immediately. Even clicking the play button doesn't work.

The symptoms make me think there's a problem establishing the netconnection for streaming.

I've read Microsoft added streaming of some kind in Windows Media Player for Windows 7, could it be interfering?

Wondering if anyone else has Windows 7 specific problems with Flash player / Flash Comm Server?

    Never mind.

    I was sure there was an audio device installed, I saw Win 7 announce it was installing drivers for AC'97, but it apparently didn't actually do so.

    There was no default audio device for the sound to play through.

    I found the driver for my motherboard audio, and installed it.

    Works fine now.
