No sound on Windows 10 various browsers

Windows 10 updated on my PC last week.  Ever since, any website that uses flash player has no sound.  For example, certain streaming websites such as PS Vue or Hulu.  I first noticed it in the Edge browser.  Tried Firefox and Chrome and still no sound.  The latest version of flash player is installed for the Firefox plugin.  With Edge there is no way to update it,  as Windows supposedly updates it automatically.  In each browser settings, flash player is enabled.  All other forms of media have sound fine.  Websites that do no use flash player, such as YouTube, work fine.  In the sites I noticed it does not work, there is no way to change any specific flash player settings for that site (no right click option, nothing in the browser tool bars).

I suspect the Windows update last week screwed something up or does not play well with flash player.    No response from Microsoft support.   Surely, I can't be the only one this is happening too. . .

Appreciate any help.

This is resolved in current beta builds.  It should be in the October generally available release.

You can pick up a copy of the latest beta here:

I installed the beta for Firefox and the audio issue is resolved for me now.  Thank you. 

Now just waiting for the version that will work in Edge,  which Windows 10 supposedly updates automatically. . . eventually.

Hi,

Please see the New Feature 'Support Audio Output Selection in Flash Player' section of the Release Notes Flash Player 27 AIR 27​.  This may be what you are experiencing.

But as I previously mentioned,  the various streaming websites that I mentioned do not have any way to bring up the "Flash Player Settings dialog" to access the newly added audio tab.

Sony support for PS Vue did not have a solution, they only recommended updating flash player to the latest version, which I already did.
