Of course, I was getting very frustrated as I plowed through a lot of reading, especially when the beginning of the descriptions seemed to fit my situation but the ends of subject never did. It makes me feel so silly once I find that I must have created my own issue but at least I don't need to put up without sound. I will be leaving the settings alone in the future, of course. In the meantime, I had checked the version of Flash that I have, read a great deal about getting sound restored, 32bit vs 64bit browsers, all sorts of things and apparently many sound issues eminate from installation of Flash which surprised me. Apparently, this is not a typical issue as not many people were in it.

It was easily solved when following his recommendation. I don't recall changing the settings but I must have done so. I have XP 64bit Professional, use Firefox, had installed Flash 10.2.152.26 after alert by adobe and after that successful install, not immediately, but next time I was expecting sound, it was gone.Īpparently, I must have done some wandering in the settings because under this topic, the person named, Kwithaj, on Aug 8 2009, left the perfect answer that fixed my issue which I found on Feb 26, 2011. Any help you could give would be appreciated.Ī little more information might help us figure out why you have no sound.Īre you sure you have the latest Flash Player version (check the Adobe download page)? By that I mean, if a bell should ring, I get static for the bell. All I know is that sound occurs when sound should occur, but it's only static. I have considered opening the back of the computer to see if the sound card is loose or if it is bad. I don't know if this is actually a problem with Flash Player, but I am trying to diagnose what's wrong. I have deleted Flash Player 10 and I have reinstalled 9. The last two steps were recommended by the help function on my computer. I still have to check the MIDI sound files to see if they are working. I have checked the Microsoft sounds loaded originally to see if they are functioning correctly. I have checked all the hardware to see if it is working correctly. I have checked all the drivers to see if they are working correctly or are configured correctly. These are the steps I have taken to determine the cause of the problem. The no sound problem began after I downloaded the absolute latest Flash Player. I have Windows XP and am using Microsoft Internet Explorer.
