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

[y2kmp3]

:frown; 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 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.

[y2kmp3]

plz help, someone? still no answer

[birdynumnum]

Can someone please help this guy, I'm having exact same problem exept I get no sound on ANY flash content... it works fine on Windows media, Real, Quicktime, MP3, ect... everything except flash

[Kaboche]

im having the same problem no sound but with video

[y2kmp3]

this is too bad... still no answer : (

[TwiztedDotNet]

I'm having problems too...

After I upgraded to Flash Player 9, I can no longer VIEW embeded movies at
all...
They show up just like a missing graphic.
(white box with X in corner)

I called Adobe Tech Support, and the lady told me that the only help they have
on this software is on the website.
I haven't been able to find anything on this site that helps yet.

Anyone out there find a solution?

[stunky]

I haven't had sound in any Flash content for a month although all other players
work fine.

I've even had my IT department look my PC over and they can't figure it out.
We've tried:

Updating to Flash 9
Uninstall and re-install of all Macromedia products
Install and uninstall of Flash Pro trial version
Uninstal and reinstall of Microsoft SP2
2 different sound sources (cards), an SB audigy and the on-board sound, and
all the latest drivers

It's funny but I feel like an internet media cripple. My work mates send me
Utube clips and I can't enjoy them.

[ilovejuicy]

I'm having the same problem. NO Video and NO sound. You have any luck resolving it?

[y2kmp3]

it is clear that this is not an isolated problem or case.

yet, adobe is keeping mum about this.

as users, we are only asking for tips or directions so we can seek a solution.

if this is a recognized problem by adobe, at least this should be publicly
acknowledge so all of us don't waste our time thinking this is a problem on our
end.

comment?

[birdynumnum]

Your right y2kmp3! This problem of no sound is on soooo many forums, and nobody
knows how to fix it. This is definately not an isolated problem and did not
have a problem with it atall until Adobe took over and released version 9.
Cheese-&-Rice Adobe, pull your finger out... Your suppose to be one bigger
companies that produce high quality products, what happened here? This is not
exactly a small bug thats easily missed or can be ignored, so how the hell did
your quality control miss it? and step up a gear with your customer relations,
we can forgive a bug... programming a difficult job so we understand it may
happen occasionally but it pee's us off when you dont appear to even acknoledge
the problem and that your working on rectifying it! Come on sort it out Adobe!

[Dodgeit]

I suppose I'll add my voice to the growing mob. I get no sound at all out of
Flash Player 8 & 9 (I don't have any earlier versions to test). All other
audio players and applications work fine.

I've struggled with this problem for 3 months, posted on half a dozen tech
help forums, and always the answer is the same: "Join the club, bro."

WAKE UP, ADOBE. This aint 18th century France, but you may get a revolution on
your hands if you don't start respecting your customers' pleas.

[lowfield]

no sound

[Sloanie]

Thanks for the idea to look at sound settings. I was having the same problem
with Flash Player in OS X-- since I installed 9 beta I couldn't get sound to
work, not even when I reverted to 8. In the Applications > Utilities folder I
opened the Audio MIDI setup and found audio output was set to 96khz, and
changing it to 44 or 48khz made it so sound again played in flash movies /
animations, etc. Hope this helps any mac users out there having the same
problem.

[jerryfinn]

sloanie, thanks for the O SX solution to this baffling problem....I'm glad to
atleast be able to hear the audio when watching youtube. I'm still a bit
bewildered and confused as to why this happened at all. for me it seems to
have happened completely out of the blue. ive had flash player 9 since it came
out, and just yesterday something goes wrong.

[tifosi]

My problem ended up being with Quicktime.

I had no sound on youtube and tried everything listed (regedits, reinstalls,
etc.), and in the end I went to the control panel under quicktime
preferences>>audio tab>>Default music synthesizer. I changed this from
'quicktime music synth.' to 'general midi', and amazingly enough youtube sound
works. I did have sound working on google videos and other flash video sites,
youtube was the only problem.

[y2kmp3]

i am using win xp sp2. i checked all my sound settings. it looked ok.

my trouble is that i ONLY have NO SOUND, for example, when playing a youtube
video that is EMBEDDED in a site OTHER THAN youtube. if i play the SAME video
FROM youtube site directly, the sound is there.

when there is no sound, i can see that the sound bar is set to 0 at the bottom
of the video when the video first plays. after it plays (without sound), even
if i manually move the sound bar up, there is still no sound.

help?

[Gilhooley]

YES! I fkin solved it!! Something breaks your registry settings under
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32] so the Wave
connection is missing, then it dosent matter if you have all you vp6 or mp3
codecs installed. Save the lines below as a textfile with a reg ending, like
"missing.reg" and 2x click it to import it to your registry and your golden :-)
Or if you have most of them, "Wavemapper" is the one flash is looking for.

Gilhooley, you are a star! It works, have to edit my sound scheme afterwards
but who cares... IT WORKS! Thanks mate, maybe you should take over adobe
because you were a hell of a lot more help than they were :)

[BilalM]

Alright the problem is really the mapping of wavemapper in Windows registry as
reported by one member of the forum. All you need to do is to open registry
editor by going to Start menu, Run, typing regedit and then Enter. After that,
in the registry editor, walk yourself through the tree in the left pane, till
you reach

My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32

And then on the right pane, right click and click on New, select String value,
enter "wavemapper" (without quots of course), ENTER, type "msacm32.drv", ENTER.

Close the editor. No need to restart. Video on Google and YouTube et al would
work fine now.

Thanks to the member who pointed out the key. I just mentioned the procedure.

Have a nice day!

[stunky]

This worked! My IT guys are happy again and so am I. YouTube spoke to me for
the fist time in months!

Sure would have been nice for Adobe to post a fix so I didn't have to go in
and edit my registry by hand.

Hope no-one REALLY SCREWS their computer fiddling with the REGISTRY doing it
BEFORE Adobe posts a fix. Like some desperate kid whos friends keep sending
them clips they can't watch.

BilaIM & Gilhooley you both are major stars. Making the time & effort
necessary to track and configure a fix for this ubiquitous problem
effecting hundreds of people across the net puts you both in the
superstar stratosphere.
I want to convey a huge thank you for ending this migraine of sound
problem I've personally been dealing with for a week.
You two are great !!

*side note: This comes as an ex-'insider' in Adobe. I was involved with
Adobe for years until they adopted a policy of extremely limited, if at
all, customer support for their products. As well, they demand
programmers write useless code into the product with the hope the
public will think bigger is better. The end result is a huge and clunky
product setting in your PC taking up valuable resource. All of this
directly leads to their quest of maximizing profit.
Don't waste your time, raise your blood pressure, or let yourself
become aggravated over Adobe's non-existent customer support. The
online manuals furnished by Adobe is the best you'll receive at this
point in time.
As a programmer and ex-employee of Adobe I can tell you there are many
great products, most opensource, that top anything Adobe has yet
created.

[/White/Rabbit]

Thanking you from every angle possible Mr Bilal M...had spent two solid
infuriated days trying to fix this not so flashy glitch, can now join the
legions of dubious video watchers and makers again. Who could have thought so
few words could bring so much joy?!

Wishing everyone luck with their Adobe trials and tribulations, I had no idea
it was so highly strung!:grin;

[jcjdoss1]

The registry edit is genius. THANKS. four months of no sound. Now it is FINALLY back

[y2kmp3]

hi, your solution DID NOT WORK for me! i imported your .reg, rebooted, but
still the same problem (see below). my problem is that there IS sound when i
played the file directly from within youtube. it is ONLY when the youtube file
is EMBEDDED in a 3rd-party website that the sound is MISSING.

can someone plz plz help????????

Heya y2kmp3! The regestry hack worked fine for me, but I think I may be able
to point you in the right direction if the regestry fix didn't work. It sounds
to me like you either haven't got the audio activex for flash or you have it
disabled which would mean that it will not play when viewing on a website but
will play fine with a standalone player. In internet explorer, go to the
[b]Tools[/b] menu and select [b]Manage Add-ons...[/b]. Then from the pull down
menu make sure you have [b]Add-ons that have been used by internet explorer[/b]
so it displays all of your activex's and see what is disabled in the list. I
don't know which one it is so try enabling ALL of them and restart internet
explorer and see what happens. If that doesn't work, then you probably don't
have it atall or its become corrupted. If this is the case then uninstall
Flash, reinstall flash and THEN add the regestry bit as stated by Gilhooly.
Make sure you include the [b]Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[/b] as the
first line of the text file and make sure what you save the text file as has
the extension .reg otherwise it will not add it to the regestry. Save the file
then double click on it to add it to the regestry and restart internet explorer
(You don't need to reboot your PC, it should work straight away). I hope this
works for you as I'm stuck otherwise

[y2kmp3]

hi, thanks for the tips.

i looked under [b]manage add-ons[/b] and what [b]has[/b] been installed by IE.
all are enabled. i don't find anything that was previously disabled. : (

i have uninstalled and reinstalled flash 9 many times, and imported the
registry, but no help too : (

i seem to recall this problem first starts to happen which i upgraded to flash
8. as an experiment, i reverted back to flash 7 and everything works (i have
sound for both youtube.com and EXTERNAL site that embedded youtube video).
however, when i re-upgrade to flash 8 or 9, i again lost the audio for ONLY
EXTERNAL site that embedded youtube video.

again, the problem is with no sound in flash9 when the youtube video is
embedded in an external site (when the video is played directly within youtube,
the sound is fine). i have posted a flickr photo showing the problem:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/***@N00/213169944/

please please help!!!

HELP ME PLZ..anyone? Im so frustrated! I also have a sound problem with adobe
flash player 9, I can hear perfectly fine on everything EXCEPT this player. I
really want to listen to videos on youtube not just watch them. Yet While they
play I have close to NO sound....its very very slightly there but barely....how
can I sort this out?

I tried what the person directly above me said to do, downloaded K-lite codecs
pack installed it, no difference. I read people had success going into the
registry and doing something? I dont know how you do that and I dont want to
kill my computer...plzzzz someone...anyone....help me ...... PLEASE PLEASE
PLEASE

[birdynumnum]

Hiya jzimora, I found the regestry hack worked for me. Heres how you do it the
safe way...

1. Go to start menu run and enter REGEDIT and press resturn
2. This will start the regestry editor. Goto the file menu and select export
and save the regestry as a file, make sure you have Export Range / All selected
at the bottom of the save file window. This will save the whole regestry as a
file, remember where you save the file... You have now backed up the regestry.
Now close the regestry editor
3. Copy all the following BOLD text starting from Windows Regestry Editor
Verion 5.00 by highlighting it, right clicking and selecting copy

6. Finally, navigate to your saved file and double click on it. You will see

double click the backup file you created in step 1 and this will restore your

thanks men.. you are a god to me.. it really works

[xblade1]

wavemapper did nothing for me
no sound in flash files, games etc and no system sound but videos and mp3's

Adobe has to do something about this B.S

:mad;

[pretty14]

PLEASE HELP Me... i tried the adding registry, and the wavamapper but still
dont have audio when i watch videos on youtube.. i tried everything that

video and audio.... just my flashplayer.. i cant hear a sound of any video on
youtube... everytime i go to youtube the volume is zero and i have to put the
volume bar up, still no sound... i already install flash9. speakers are
connected, sounds are not muted...... HELPPP! im getting frustrated.. been
workin on my comp. for few days now....

[Guilden_NL]

I am in the same situation as you. I DID find Quicktime messing with my
Windows setting (no surprise there, I HATE APPLE!), did everything else
mentioned here and no Flash audio. I am running Realtec '97 audio like someone
else here, so I am going down this path to see if that's an issue. I always
have problems with Adobe products and I find their support to stink. I wish
these web sites would drop Flash now Adobe owns it.:disgust;

[sbellct]

I've resolved this problem by re-setting the sound effect. I think u can try
this way too.

My pc is HP pavilion desktop. I opened "Sound Effect" and found that the
enviroment was set to "None". Then I changed it to "Normal", or "bed-room" and
so on. then My flash can play sound again.

[Steelbilly]

Registry fix worked for me! Thank you!

[lover_of_life]

I've resolved this problem by re-setting the sound effect. I think u can try
this way too.

My pc is HP pavilion desktop. I opened "Sound Effect" and found that the
enviroment was set to "None". Then I changed it to "Normal", or "bed-room" and
so on. then My flash can play sound again.


THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS sbellct!!!

Your simple solution worked perfect for me. I'm no computer expert and I was
getting worried thinking I was going to have to mess with the registry but
thanks to you my sound has all been restored. I have been in & out of "Sound
Effect Manager" so many times I thought I had tried everything. I have a
Gateway and my options were a little different but after trying a few in the
list to my delight it actually worked!!! Thanks again.

Well I'll be ............ after months and months of problems with loads of
users, this is the one fix that worked on 8 out of 10 systems. I noticed this
on my home system when Flash would play through my AUX to wireless outside
speakers, but not inside. Phukkkkkk me!

YES! I fkin solved it!! Something breaks your registry settings under
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32] so the Wave
connection is missing, then it dosent matter if you have all you vp6 or mp3
codecs installed. Save the lines below as a textfile with a reg ending, like
"missing.reg" and 2x click it to import it to your registry and your golden
:grin; Or if you have most of them, "Wavemapper" is the one flash is looking
for.

[y2kmp3]

hi,

i checked windows services, but the windows audio is already started. all my
audio selects are pointed to the correct setting.

again, my problem is that there is no sound ONLY if the youtube video is
played in a non-youtube site as an embedded file, otherwise the sound is fine.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/***@N00/213169944/

[birdynumnum]

Hmmmm. So sound works on other flash sites such as video.google.co.uk and www.cnet.com. Do you get the same problem if you view the site in a different browser such as firefox of opera?

[y2kmp3]

yep, the sound works fine on google video and cnet.com. it only does not work
when the youtube video is embedded in a non-youtube.com site. please see my
flickr photo above for a screenshot.

i only use IE on my computer. unfortunately, i cannot install firefox or opera
for other reasons out of my control.

[birdynumnum]

I have nicked this from YouTube's own help page, hope its of help as I am stuck
otherwise. It sounds to me like you flash is working fine seems it works on
google and cnet. Maybe its an error at there end and not at yours such as a
small typo in their embedding code (easy one is using \'s instead of /'s) you
could try and edit the HTML source of the site your are trying to view, save it
on your hard drive and viewing that instead though don't ask me how to do this
as I dont know anything about HTML coding. Sorry I can't be of more help! good
luck!

[b]Why can't I hear the audio when I'm watching a video? [/b]
To make sure that you hear sound while watching videos, please check the
volume controls on your computer. Also, be sure to increase the volume on other
conventional video players on your computer, such as Real Player or Windows
Media. This may have an effect on your computer's master volume levels. Next,
check to see if your system meets these requirements for running the Video
Viewer:

Macromedia Flash Player 7.0+ plug-in
Windows 2000 or higher with latest updates installed
Mac OS X 10.3 or higher
Firefox 1.1+, IE 5.0+, or Safari 1.0+
Broadband connection with 500+ Kbps

If your system meets all the requirements, but the Video Viewer still isn't
working properly, please try troubleshooting with a different browser. Also,
please test the audio on multiple videos.http://www.youtube.com/t/help_center

[gurdpath]

y2k, I have exactly the same problem as you, but I only have it with Netscape (7 and 8), and not with IE6. I haven't figured it out either. I haven't tried switching to Flash 7, I'll do that now.

[gurdpath]

Y2K, after checking, I was wrong -- I can't hear embedded youtube videos either
on IE6 or on Netscape 7 or 8. I tried to reinstall Flash player 7, but it still
says version 8. So it looks like I have the exact same problem as you -- I can
hear youtube videos on on youtube.com, but not when they are embedded on other
web sites. Such as this one:

Please post something if you ever figure out what the problem is. Thanks.

[Harps5959]

First of all I would like to state this is the first time I have ever written
on an online forum, and the only reason i'm writing it is to deeply deeply
thank "Gilhooley". Who ever he/she is, I thank you for allowing me to interact
with countless media online by having sound once again, something some of us
may take for granted. But it goes to show0 with the help of others we can solve
any problems we have.
Thank you Gihooley and God Bless!

[BlatantUk]

MAJOR respect to [b]Gilhooley[/b] for the solution.

If everyone how had this problem sent him 10p (UK) or 10c (US), Gilhooley
would be a rice man by now. What can we do to see you get proper accreditation
for this Gilhooley?

I am an applications developer and like others have said Adobe's (a) approch
(or lack thereof) to the problem is disgusting and (b) their attention to
detail on their released products is a shambles.

What an utter disgrace! Adobe LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES, take consumers
comments and bug reports onboard, at least acknowledge problems like this. It's
a complete disgrace that a user from the WWW has to come onto your forum and
fix YOUR problems, if I where project managing this one, people would be
getting sacked, damn if I had managed the Adobe Player 9 project, I'd have had
to sack myself!

[y2kmp3]

gurdpath and others,

no i have not found a solution at all that work.

i don't understand why i don't have sound when i play youtube video on a
non-youtube.com site, yet the sound is fine if i play it directly on youtube?
it is not a missing driver since sound does work in youtube. could it be some
kind of security setting or conflict or quicktime or other programs?

can someone please help us?

[chm786]

Dear All,

If you are not fancy towards IE, then I would suggest to go fo Netscape. I
dont' know how I enterend into this trouble, then I tried all suggestions given
by Adobe and other forum friends. But none didn't worked. Reinstall Windows
OS which made me work partially.

Now I install latest version of Netscape and all my problem are gone. youtube
is perfectly working and all my pains are gone. So I want to share this new
with others so that they can go for Netscape.

Regards

[gurdpath]

This didn't help me. I tried using Netscape Browser 8 and had the same problem.

[Bronsen]

Hello All If you are on Windows XP x64 Edition and have Tried Everything in
this forum. I have been going nuts since I upgraded to Flash 9 I finally found
this through Google. The second I merged it into my Registry My sound came
right back I had IE open with a Flash.

Gilhooley i bet he's an adobe mechanic 1 post... but hey i worked so who ever
you are
i can't thank you enough toda shukrun spasiva and much much more.
i've been surfing like a maniac to find the fix and did everything and only
this worked for me
TRY IT!

[mohito]

Do you have any sort of adstopper proxy in place? When I have proxmitron enabled, I can't hear embedded YouTube videos. If I disable it, I can hear them just fine.

[mtscarry]

I tried the REGEDIT and also the other packet.

It works fine until I close my IE browser. Once I close my browser, then my
computer no longer recognizes my audio device until I reboot.

What else am I missing?

[Kasrielle]

Ok - I've got windows XP, and when I go to LOCAL_MACHINE (as above) there is
nothing under software that says microsoftwindows NT, or XP, or anything else.
I did a search and can't find any file that includes "drivers32" (without the
quotes of course)

So can somebody walk me through how to add this wavemapper to my registry?

[ChavaLager]

I've found another fix for those of you who have tried the registry fix and
still have no sound from videos. (youtube/google)

I tried the reg fix and found that the entry was already in there. However,
since it had worked for so many I had to investigate it further.

It turns out that I had the registry pointer correct, but I was missing the
actual .drv file.
Take a peak in 'c:\Windows\System32' and see if you can locate your
'msacm32.drv' file.

I was missing this file so I took a copy of the one I had on my laptop and
moved it over to my desktop, and I now have sound (woot!). It's bad practice
to do this but heck, I was sick of no audio.

I zipped a copy of the c:\Windows\system32\msacm32.drv file and emailed it to
myself. Then just extracted it to that same folder on my other system.

I can't tell you where to get a copy of it, nor will I provide it. Ask a
friend to send it to you (make sure you have the same version of windows).

I would only try this fix if you do not find the msacm32.drv file on your
system. If it's already there, just leave it be, it's probably working fine
and your problem is elsewhere.

ChavaLager, excellent advice! I tried the registry fixes but Flash still
didn't work. Then I took your advice and search for [b]msacm32.drv[/b] file
using Windows Explorer. Explorer found the file but it was not in
c:\Windows\System32 directory, which is exactly where the file must be to work.
So after Explorer found the file I clicked once on it then right mouse clicked
and selected copy. I then went to System32 directory and right mouse click and
pasted it into System32. Now, all is GOOD. Flash sound is working at YouTube.


[b]My advice is to first check to make sure that the msacm32.drv file is in
the Windows\System32 directory. If not, see if you can find a copy of it on
your computer by searching for it with Windsow Explorer and then copy and past
it into System32 directory. Then copy the recommended entries into the
registry. You may want to try to see if Flash works without the need to
supplement the registry with additional entries. If it still doesn't work then
you know you will need to supplement the registry as recommended above. I did
supplement my registry.

[DecepticoN510]

I've been having the 'No sound in flash player' problem and I think I may have
found a solution, at least it worked for me. I actually found this on another
http://www.nonagsplus.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=382&PN=1 and the solution
is for XP users I believe.

When I would check my sound and audio device properties, it actually said that
I had no audio device. And for some odd reason, under the sound tab and voice
tab all the devices were set to "Modem #1Line..." The dropdown menu in these
fields did not allow for any other choice. So as per the other forum, I
proceeded with:

Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services > Windows Audio. Make
sure "Windows Media" service is running. If it's not, right click on this
service and select "start".

Then I went back to sound and audio device properties and switched all the
"Modem #1 Line..." back to the proper device as it was now available in the
dropdown menu. Now I have sound in youtube and any other flash related sites.

Hope this helps.

[animegurl88]

Hello! How did you ho back to sound and audio device properties and switched
all the "Modem #1 Line..." back to the proper device as it was now available in
the dropdown menu? I don't get how to do that.

[Siri1207]

:sad;
Hi, just before Christmas the sound disappear from any website or application
that use Flash. I check the driver file and it is there. I uninstalled and
reinstalled many times but still no audio sound. I have the training program
that I have to access via website and used to be find until a few days ago. I
try many website (i.e. youtube.com), Toyota Certification, even the web link
from Adobe itself. Can someone please help? Other audio or video is working
fine. Thanks.

[fatfenders]

DecepticoN510,
Thanks much for your post... I have been living with this issue for a long
time, finally decided to fix it. I shy away from any of these fixes that have
me doing registry changes etc. Have regreted that stuff in the past. Followed
your (straight forward, simple)instructions and Bingo! Got my sound!
Demiurgiac

[Fake Outdoorsman]

If editing the registry as mentioned above does not work then you can try
uninstalling and then reinstalling your audio drivers. For example, flash
video was skipping and the audio was not working in any browser (Flash 9,
Windows XP, Intel motherboard, SoundMax Audio Drivers). I edited the registry,
but that did not help. I went to intel.com and downloaded and reinstalled the
SoundMax audio drivers for my motherboard. It did the trick.

I had trouble with SoundMax before. It is a 23 mb download and I only
installed the driver file and not the associated SoundMax bloat. Everything
worked fine except my audio programs would take a few seconds to close and
video scrubbing in Adobe Premiere was slow and unresponsive. Reinstalling
audio drivers (included the SoundMax files this time) fixed that as well.

[Papageorgeo]

You guys seem like my best hope. It just started not working last night for me,
except the circumstances are a bit strange.

Audio will not work for me with any flash videos, whether it's on the internet
or local. None of them work. I still have audio with all video types (net or
local) and all music files (mp3, wma, etc.).

I have the latest drivers for my sound card and the latest version of flash
(9). Each have been uninstalled/reinstalled a few times.

I've tried the registry fix, the IE add-ons enabling, the manual fix for the
wavemapper file, etc. Everything in this thread.

Here's the weird part. I have the ASUS A8V motherboard with the Realtek AC'97
audio controller, and that's what my speakers are plugged into. I have 2
headphone ports for my computer - one on my speakers, the other in the front of
my computer case. Now, my headphones recieve the same for the speakers and case
for videos and songs, but for flash, they don't recieve with the speakers, but
[B]they do with the case?!?!?!?![/B] I don't understand. Please help me.

[Kodros]

Ugh, I just fixed my problem. I had an issue where I could listen to music or
watch video on Winamp, MediaPlayer, etc...but when it came to Flash, I could
watch the video, but not hear the sound. My issue was that I had the speaker
plugs plugged into the wrong spot. I had the speakers in the "Rear speaker"
plug instead of the front speakers.

[gurdpath]

I still have no resolution to the problem that Y2K originally raised here --
sound comes from YouTube videos on YouTube.com just fine, but not from embedded
YouTube videos on other sites. All of the fixes listed here are inapplicable.

ADOBE -- HELP!!!!!

Y2K, have you been able to fix it?

OMG, I feel retarded for not thinking or trying this. I recently moved to a
new place and when I was putting the PC back together all I tested was that the
sound worked without realizing it could be a wrong port even though I can hear
music. It was roughly around that time when Flash sounds dies, I tried numerous
things including registry edits inlcuded here. As soon as it was in the right
port I was able to watch important videos like dog versus crab with sound.
WooHoo

[nosoundguy]

Unbelievable. So I have been having the problem since updating to Flash 9, and
I guess I can somewhat understand why Adobe isn't too hot on addressing this
problem considering it is my own damn fault. I tried everything in this forum
"Softwarewise" that I could do, but the problem ended up being with my speaker
ports. Here's the thing, I have 5.1 surround, and for some reason the way I
had it configured before worked fine, but when I upgraded to flash 9 it became
a problem. I didn't think to look at my speaker configuration because it
worked before the upgrade. I figured out that the headphone port worked fine,
I had sound on everything as long as I was using the headphones. Here's the
funny part, I reconfigured my speakers and they didn't work STILL, and I
couldn't figure out why, because it should be working fine. Meanwhile sound
was still coming out of the headphones, frustrated I threw the headphones at
the printer they came unplugged and I had sound in my front speakers! Ha, I am
such an IDIOT! I forgot that the headphones cut off the front speakers when
plugged in, anyway, everything works fine now. I also think that this is only
a problem with people using the REALTEK 97 DRIVER, with Soundblaster Speakers,
the colors don't exactly match up, and for A.D.D. idiots like me it's a
problem. I hope that me being an idiot helps some other guy.

Ugh, I just fixed my problem. I had an issue where I could listen to music or
watch video on Winamp, MediaPlayer, etc...but when it came to Flash, I could
watch the video, but not hear the sound. My issue was that I had the speaker
plugs plugged into the wrong spot. I had the speakers in the "Rear speaker"
plug instead of the front speakers.[/q]


THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!!!

I simply had the computer speakers plugged into the wrong hole on the back on
the main pc box. Ive got sound on youtube.com now...finally! wow flash player
has sound! thank you kodos and everyone else who tried to help!

[mary long]

hi all. i was having the same problem with no sounds from you tube videos
embedded on other pages. i just tried this and it worked for me. i use ccleaner
and i checked the option to clean macromedia flash player. i then ran ccleaner
and i know have sound.evidently what ever it cleaned out in the flash player
folder was causing the problem.

:grin; [b]Hail, Mary![/b] :grin;
After trying everything mentioned here and elsewhere you are the angel of
mercy! Your completely brilliant ccleaner tip has solved this unbelievably
annoying problem for me (on XP with IE6 and Flash 8 then 9)
Anyone else wanting to try it, simply download ccleaner (a.k.a. ***@p cleaner)
from http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/
and install it. Close all browser sessions, run ccleaner, select the
'Cleaner' option, untick everything on the 'Windows' page and on the
'Applications' page, then (still on the 'Applications' page) tick only the
'Macromedia Flash Player' option, then press [Analyze] and when this finishes
press [Run Cleaner]. Now close ccleaner and try youtube - I nearly had the
neighbours round I shouted so loud!

Again I say - Hail Mary!

(but why the hell doesn't Flash have this option in its Settings menu when
playing a flash file?!?)

[gurdpath]

Mary, CCleaner worked for me too. Fantastic -- thanks!

Adobe support sure have their heads up their you-know-whats though...

[flash7izdabest]

be carefull with ccleaner ppl...he he

http://forum.ccleaner.com/lofiversion/index.php/t4162.html

"Hi,
I just used ccleaner lastnight, and it seemed ok,but when I powered on my
computer today, It won't boot at all. It makes a weird clicking noise, and I
get a message on a black screen that reads:

"A disk read error occurred
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart"

oh yeah, FYI I am (or was) running Windows XP sp2, but now windows won't start
at all...

Can any of you help me Right now, I'm using a borrowed computer!"
:wink;

[p@man]

Not really ccleaner's fault, that one, but I agree it can be lethal - that's why I said untick [b]everything[/b] except Flash to avoid possible misery

[Borat Sagdiyev]

I have been pullling my hair out for months over this issue. Symptoms were
exactly as described by y2kmp2 in the posts above:

No sound, but only when playing Flash videos embedded in another website
(usually these were YouTube Flash videos embedded in another website). If I
went to the same video on the actual originating website (i.e. YouTube), the
sound would work fine.

Mary's CCcleaner fix did the trick for me. I unchecked everything in
CCcleaner except for Macromedia Flash Player. It cleaned out a bunch of old
downloaded crap files in Flash's own "cache" anmd now the problem I had before
is gone. Sound now works fine with embedded Flash videos.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

P.S. I agree...I can't believe nobody at Adobe has paid any attention to this
frustrating bug, which should be so easy for them to fix just by adding an
option to clean out the Flash Player cache.

[voncasec]

You are my hero. It worked. Such a stupid problem too. My speakers worked
for everything else, so I assumed their was no problem with my wiring or
speakers. I just switched the speaker plug in the back of my comp and bam,
life is good again. I was starting to get discouraged too after trying
everything else in here a million and a half times.

Cheers

[bradyfan123]

thanks sooo muchh "BilalM", "Gilhooley " you havv nooooooo idea how long i had
this problem..it not only messed up the audio for youtube and google video
etc..all websites with flash were audio less..even some of my games required it
too..THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!!

[geomunn]

great work guys--adding "wavemapper" (without quots of course), ENTER, type "msacm32.drv immediately resolved the issue on a winxp sp2 machine--firefox and ie7 beta3

[Timbur_ATX]

I usually do not participate in forums but I am estatic to find the solution to
my "missing audio" problem. My problem arised after installing Flash 9 and
noticed that none of the audio on MySpace worked. I didn't take me long to
notice that videos had no sound; this was quite frustrating. I've been
limping along like this for months until now.

Correcting the mapping in the Registry was my remedy; in paticular, adding
"wavemapper" as a string value name with "msacm32.drv" as the value data.

Good job guys! Shame on Adobe. Do they pay attention to what's being
discussed in the forums? I am sure support has been aware of this for some
time. I still hold Adobe in high regards, but sheesh c'mon!

[y2kmp3]

can anyone help me?

i am still having the problem (see above). those fixes do not work for me!

[chrispepper1989]

you know what, ive tried everything on this forum and everything on every other
and not been able to fix sound on the internet, and yet fine on windows media
player and evrything else but you know what i realised today, i get no sound on
startup either, the computers new and built by me and i had never noticed and i
thought what if Explorer (ie Internet explorer, windows explorer and msut also
firefox at some level, as i use firefox myself) is having the problem and then
i thought does it have a problem with surround sound and i sundenly realised,
my surround sound has the rear and side speakers plugged in only, and id forgot
that, you know what i found out, internet and start up sounds only play through
the FRONT speakers i am now in the process of absolutely kicking myself for
letting this problem go on for weeks! i no i mite get called an absolute NOOB
for posting this but for anyone else who has made this mistake here you go!

[xblade1]

Chrispepper YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU
I know how you feel

[kev - signals.co.uk]

cheers... the reg edit works, seems that installing a codec pack messed the reg up.

:smile; Figured out how to fix mine. I had the same problem it seemed like.
I'm running windows XP Home Edition. Problem started for me when I updated my
sound device hardware off of the Microsoft website. My computer went haywire
when I updated. I had no sound on anything and my windows media player just
came up with errors when it tried to even play music off of my hard drive.
After playing with it for a few hours, I had to rollback my sound device
(Realtek AC97 Audio) to the point before the update. That restored all sound
function except the problem you were having. Picked up some clues looking
through the forum, found out my sound settings were still set to modem
something or other. Went in and changed all settings back to Realtek AC97 Audio
and fixed all problems. I hope this solves your problems too.
Gino1096
Step by step:
1. Control Panel- Sound, Speech and Audio Devices- Sounds and Audio Devices
2. Hardware- Check all device status'
3. Properties of any device not working
4. Driver- Roll Back Driver
5. Restart Computer
6. Step 1
7. Audio- Reset Default Devices
Problem went away for me at this point Good Luck!

[MikeBomb]

I have been going crazy with this one too but I [b]finally[/b] found a
solution. Here it is:

Go to a page with a Flash video on it.
Click on the video to activate Flash, then right click on it to bring up the
Flash menu.
Click on "Settings", then click the "Advanced..." button.
This should open a new browser window with the Flash Player Settings Manager.

Look on the left side, under "Table of Contents" and "Flash Player Help", for
"Global Storage Settings Panel"
Click the "Global Storage Settings Panel" link. This will load the panel on
the right side in a Flash object.
You will find that the "Allow third-party Flash content to store data on your
computer" box is unchecked.
[b]Check that box!!![/b]

After the box is checked, it should save the setting right away, but I had a
little trouble getting it to save the setting. I had to close all open Internet
Explorer windows and go back and check the box several times, but finally it
saved the setting. Once it did, I had audio in my embedded YouTube videos again.

[Trumby]

Alright so I've tried like..everything posted on here.

Registry fix
K-lite codec pack
Uninstalling (normal), then reinstalling (safemode)
Whatever else has been listed in this thread..and nothing has worked. I am
going crazy here.

Will report if I find anything to fix it for me..

[slashdog]

ccleaner worked for me after nothing else did.

It is worth a shot if your registry looks ok.

[AOEGuy77]

Hey everyone, during the Summer my computer said that "msacm32.dll" was missing
so i replaced it. But it sill doesn't seem to work! I tried everything in the
above posts, but nothing seems to be working. I still get NO SOUND on any
flash application! Whats the best thing i should do now?

[funsdead]

The Registry fix worked for me....THANK-YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.

[jimbowie]

I had this problem and the registry edit did not fix. The reson was that the
file msacm32.drv was not installed so adding it to the regristry did nothing.
A simple search of windows/system32 will tell you if the file is presnet or
not. If it is not then you can add it by installing a new hardware device
under the control panel. The device the the Microsoft Audio Compression
Manager (hence the MSACM32 name of the drv file).
From memory (not good)
Install new hardware:
Yes, Hardware already installed option:
Add a new hardware device (last option)
manualy install (advanced):
Sound, Video and game controller:
Have disc:
browse to windows/system32/
use "mmdriver.inf"
choose the Microsoft Compression manager

It should now work even before it asks you to reboot.
Good luck
Jim
