PC help plz: no audio on flash player

[AsburySkinsFan]

Ok, I've been dealing with this for about a week and I can't seem to get it resolved. Here's the deal:

I have no audio on any flash media on the internet, I get video but no audio. I can listen to anything I want on Quicktime, and Windows Media Player, as well as Adobe Shockwave player on the net, but anything that uses the flash player (youtube, some flash games, daily show and other news videos) simply have no volume. I've tried reinstalling the flash player but I get nothing even after I do.

Oh and yes the volume is turned up.

Thanks for any help.

Confirm that you allow a website's Flash content to play on your system

View the settings manager for your Flash Player installation.

1. Control-click any Flash content.

2. Select Settings.

3. Select the Privacy tab.

4. Select Advanced. The Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager appears.

5. In the Global Storage settings Global Storage Settings Panel, select "Allow third-party content to store data on your computer." You can adjust settings for websites that you have already visited:

1. To view or change privacy settings, use the Website Privacy Settings panel.

2. To view, change, or delete storage settings, use the Website Storage Settings panel.

6. Restart your browser and try playing an embedded video.

I don't see an "advanced" selection on the privacy tab.

This is a capture from my screen.

Ok, I found the adobe page that has the advanced tab; http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.html The settings I had were as suggested, so I changed them, shut it down, then changed them back. Still no sound. grrrr

Alright, running out of options. I've uninstalled and then reinstalled the latest flash player from adobe, and still I get video but no audio.

What web browser are you using?

[AsburySkinsFan]

Firefox, but I get no volume on IE either.

Make sure your browser is up to date, either FF or IE. Reset both to default settings. For IE it's tools -> internet options ->Advanced tab and then Reset.. Not sure if FF has this or where it is.

You may want to also install/run ccleaner in the event that some temp file is causing an issue.

Have you tried to do an complete uninstall and then re-install?

All defaults are set, and I installed and ran ccleaner...still no change.

Try this:

Download k lite and run their tool

Try a "complete" uninstall of flash. Sounds like a setting is screwed up.

The Add/Remove programs uninstall in windows still saves all the settings. Use the one from Adobe to actually "wipe" it clean.

Then re-install.

Also depending on your sound card. Go into the sound settings in your controll pannel and make sure all the individual volumes for every thing is up. I know Soundblaster cards come with custom software with individual settings for games/etc which sometimes can cause issues.

make sure your speakers are set as your "default" output device. (how to get to these settings vary by operating system)

I got the k-lite full but there is no "fix non-working sound" button, so I've got a message on that forum about it.

I assume you mean of Adobe flash

Yep, did that still no joy.

I was checking the sound, and when I do the test I get sound, but when I test the individual window sounds there is nothing....hmmm seems like it's more than the flash player. But that's just really strange because all of my other programs with sound work fine; World of Warcraft, Quicktime, and WMP.

yep good there.

Found a nifty site here.

Looks like some of these were suggested but there are a few more you can try.
