flash (macromedia) : Dear Macromedia, FIX THE NO SOUND PROBLEM
XP and that sound card we would see similar posts thousands of times over here. There are far worse posts aimed at MM in a not-too-friendly way that never get deleted - so you dont have to play the "David and Goliath" card here :) I have same setup with absolutely no issues on 2 machines - sounds very much like its system specific - you may have a driver issue? did you try updating drivers or looking fro some sort of conflict with another app? try restarting in safe mode and doing a little trial and error? ****************************************** --> Team Macromedia --> www.mudbubble.com --> www.keyframer.com [quoted text, click to view] benhenny wrote:
ok - so you are just proving that MM is not deleting posts based on "no sound" in flash if you can
find hundreds if not thousands of them - you just cant find your posts. I just searched the entire archive for "no sound XP" of this forum - for the last 3 months - and only got 8 results. the last 6 months returned 10 results. the last year returned 18 results. here are some who found fixes: 3.

Reply to Author | Forward | Print | Individual Message | Show original | Report Abuse I had been dealing with this for quite some time as well ...until today. A setting on my sound had been changed for some reason. I have an on-board C-Media card. The setting: [Advanced] setup from the mixer application, [Speakers] tab, check the "Using Xear 3D" check box, click [Apply]. Why the heck this allowed me to hear Flash sound I have no clue. If your sound card is different, check and mess around with your settings (methodically, of course, so you don't break anything else!). Can't tell you how nice it is to finally fix this problem -hope the above helps. This could be a good excuse to try out a new soundcard :D ****************************************** --> Team Macromedia --> www.mudbubble.com --> www.keyframer.com [quoted text, click to view] benhenny wrote:

And they appear to be deleting my posts regarding NO SOUND in Flash movies.
Windows XP: sound works for everything EXCEPT Flash. 3 Desktops, 1 laptop - ALL have this problem. MM doesn't like it when I say "Flash sucks".
Have you attempted to clear and reload the flash player? If not try unloading
it and reloading it to one of the four PC's. Perhaps the player you have doesn't support the calls that whoever programmed the flash used?
Because I posted the same problem on Saturday and about 3 weeks ago and those
posts are NOT FOUND. And there are dozens of sound card problems posted here from XP to OSX- probably hundreds, maybe thousands.
I was using that site as a RANDOM example. I can't tell whether or not movies
have sound - so it's hard for me to find them, but they looked like they did. Certainly these do: http://www.lifeisajoke.com/flashindex_html.htm For some people. I get NO SOUND out of any of them, as usual.
you only found 8? Even more proof that they're deleting them :)
I think they deleted mine becase all of them had the phrase that rhymes with "Frash Srucks". Their search function srucks too. Search for "no sound" and you get 4 hits. I've personally posted more than that with that very phrase, and I've seen a dozen more. Go to google and enter: site:http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/webforums/forum +"no sound" you will see that most of the posts it finds are NO LONGER AVAILABLE - but there are many who have this trouble https://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=184&thr eadid=948827&enterthread=y Now, back to the original problem: NO SOUND IN FLASH MOVIES - it isn't a soundcard problem.
Currently on a P4 using a Realtek AC97 Audio card, which works wonderfully with
EVERYTHING, except Flash. I guess I have 4 computers with 4 entirely different hardware configurations that just happen not to play Flash. What a coincidence. Only one of them is a Dell Optiplex. The two other desktops are custom config; the laptop is IBM. One of the desktops runs an M-Audio Audiophile 2496. So that's M-Audio 2496 = add in card Realtek AC97 = MB integrated SoundMAX Digital Audio = MB integrated IBM's sound card whatever that is = MB integrated All play the movies fine but DON'T play Flash sound. All running XP SP2. Flash still sucks
benhenny, do you play flash movies from inside Internet Explorer? Which
version? Do you get other sounds in your browser? Like for instance when you open this page: http://www.transformativesmarketing.at/tests/Sound.htm
Opera = No Flash sound. All other media perfect.
Firefox = No Flash sound. All other media perfect. Netscape = No Flash sound. All other media perfect. Explorer = No Flash sound. All other media perfect. Dell Optiplex sx280, P4 3.0ghz 1g ram XP SP2 SoundMAX Digital Audio sound device Tried uninstalling Flash plugin, reinstalling v8 Tried uninstalling Flash plugin, reinstalling v7
Ok guys, could it be the mp3 decoder? Is there a way to check the decoder from within Flash? Via the online settings page?
OK guys, could it be the MP3 decoder? Is there a way to check for the necessary decoder? Maybe through Windows Media Player? Or in regedit?
yes it does - is there by chance the same app installed on all 4 of your machines that is some sort
of MP3 player that may have caused a conflict in the way all your systems plaback MP3 data? ****************************************** [quoted text, click to view] benhenny wrote:

Try googles flash forum search instead. Trust me, no one bother to delete yours, there is way more nasty and confronting posts dealing with real problem, embarrassing bugs and whatnot... Posts like yours are in a very narrow groups of users, group of isolated issues. If it was in fact general problem, we would have users reporting it more often, kind of given considering how many thousands of posts appears here on monthly basis. If not in here, than there is over a hundred independent forums so possibilities of sound issues reoccurring would be rather high. And these forums are beyond macromedia control, unless in your 'conspiracy theory' you allow possibilities that they actually pay these forums to remove SOUND problem posts :) I find it really ridicules. I have 34 computers in my office, Mac, PC, XP and NT server machines, variety of sound cards, lots of files and softwares, microphones, scanners, tablets, plotters, you name it... we have it. Chances to get files corrupted are enormous, yet none of these computers have problem with sound except my own laptop. Which note bene is strictly related to the sound card.

well,
sounds very strange and hard for me to troubleshoot all those machines - and in the end it just may in fact be MM and the flash world out to get you :) seriously - i have several machines (IBM, DELL) with win 2K, XP home, XP Pro, SP1 and SP2 and various hardware configs and they all play sound in flash - never had issues with sound in flash - so i have no idea how to advise your issues - it's bizarre to me. If I find anything else about your problem i will gladly post back here. dont know why you need to make comments like "flash still sucks" when this isn't about Flash sucking as much as it is about some weird problem across 4 of your machines - they all share some sort of similarity when it comes to the flash player and how it was installed on your machines or something i just cant guess at. ****************************************** [quoted text, click to view] benhenny wrote:

good point - benhenny have you tested this in say, firefox?

all i can gather from the information we have so far is that this can't possibly be a flash player
issue since it seems you have no sound in any version of the player - and you have no sound on 4 totally different machines with no common denominator. We all have similar hardware setups and for several player versions have always had sound. You have tested this with multiple browsers as well, so it isn't isolated to a browser issue or a flash player issue. It has to be something that all 4 of your machines have in common - and all i can think of is if they all share the same internet connection? not sure where i am going with this because routers/modems and ISPs have nothing to do with how sound data is pushed through the flash player - i just have no clue what is causing your specific problem. none of what you describes makes sense since all 4 of your machines play audio outside of flash just fine. I am at a total loss. [quoted text, click to view] benhenny wrote:

a quick search of the knowledge base:
http://www.macromedia.com/go/tn_16267 http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/logged_in/wanbar_sp2.html ALSO: try going to "Sounds and Audio Devices" Control Panel, the Sound Recording device was set to "modem 0 lineplayback". Changing this setting back to "Creative Sound Blaster PCI" might be the solution. ****************************************** [quoted text, click to view] Wolf van Ween wrote:

right because we detirmined that this is not a player issue - it is a sub-player issue - it has
something to do with your system(s) and their hardware configs - it may simply be a coincidence that all 4 machines have this problem but it really looks like a hardware config. ****************************************** --> Team Macromedia --> www.mudbubble.com --> www.keyframer.com [quoted text, click to view]

Cool!
so the solution was Wolf's recommendation of running: Ran DirectX Diag tool (dxdiag)? If so this is very useful information. Thanks Benhenny for posting results. ****************************************** [quoted text, click to view] benhenny wrote:

One more idea. I heard somewhere that MM products use DirectSound. Not 100%
sure whether Flash does, too. Could you open dxdiag (you know, Windows-R and type dxdiag in the box), go to the "Sounds" tab and click "Test DirectSound" to see whether all settings work? The actual button could be called slightly different, because I have a Polish version of Windows :-)

I get no sound from Flash movies.
All diagnostic tests result in perfect performance. I get no sound from Flash movies.
benhenny, I don't have any idea anymore, either.
When you say you've installed Flash MX and it didn't give you sound either, I understand you are a Macromedia customer, and a product you've paid for doesn't deliver fully. So I guess you should take this to Macromedia Support via the link at the end of this page. Good luck Wolf
matthew - this specific problem from benhenny has nothing to do with the flash authoring tool - in
fact he may not have flash IDE installed at all - it has to do with the browser player and not hearing sounds while playing flash movies online. [quoted text, click to view] Matthew The Programmer wrote:

All Flash files fail to play sound - not one in particular.
Example of one that someone posted that has sound: http://www.transformativesmarketing.at/tests/SoundTest.html. It's hard for me to find swf files with sound, because I can't hear the sound. I assume this file has sound.
Please see my reply in the open-swf forum/board with other web sites where
this (rather rare) problem has been solved for various people. Posting the same question across forums like this is not good and against forum guidelines.. please don't do it in the future. -- Jeckyl

If the problem also happens inside Flash itself (ie if you make a Flash movie in Flash with sound and it doesn't play inside Flash itself), then it has become a problem with Flash (the authoring tool) and not just the Flash Player. Of course, you still have to pay for the call .. that how support works at Macromedia .. you pay a lot for the product, and then pay more to get it help on making it work. I don't know if there is any alternative for you, as it looks like trying to solve your problem via the forum is not working for you. BTW: Have you checked in the advanced option in your sound setting to ensure no channels have volume reduced or muted .. Flash may be using a different sound channel to other media. Bring up the volume control, go to the menu and in the option ensure you are showing all the sound channels/devices, and then ensure they are all set with volume and no muting. -- Jeckyl

Started by you (not replies): Nov 20 7:55am http://groups.google.com.au/group/macromedia.players.flash/browse_thread/thread/83c0d4df71b82618/ac2bb93fafa8b8b0 Nov 20 8:07am http://groups.google.com.au/group/macromedia.players.flash/browse_thread/thread/2fac4c2a817846e/c0d26b2c0aa85af7 Nov 22 8:25am http://groups.google.com.au/group/macromedia.flash/browse_thread/thread/bd55bf50130fce58/dde596c59195cb7f and one other reopened by you (many months later .. effetively you restarted the thread) last post May, you resurrected it Nov 20 8:04am http://groups.google.com.au/group/macromedia.players.flash/browse_thread/thread/9e7335089d6e3d83/7c509aa48cae5ba4 You really only needed one of those .. anyawy .. its not worth arguing about further .. just try to follow the guidelines in future and post a single new thread and give it time to be answered. [quoted text, click to view] > I have no control how my posts here get replicated to other servers. Nothing to do with that .. that has not even been mentioned. [quoted text, click to view] > And I can complain all I want. > Flash sucks, because it does. Childish again .. don't know I'm bothering helping you. But ... here's two more pages to look at to see if you can solve your problem: http://groups.google.com.au/group/macromedia.players.flash/browse_thread/thread/83c0d4df71b82618/ad0f470e240568c8 http://groups.google.com.au/group/macromedia.flash/browse_thread/thread/f9c24590162aca34/53f77a1af64faa65 I can't imagine too many others here would want to help you further with your current behaviour. -- Jeckyl
You attitude here is not helping .. saying "flash sucks" is not going to
endear you to those trying to help, and just shows you as being immature and childish. Lying and arguing about the posts you made here does not help either .. how can we then believe you even HAVE a problem, and just aren't a troll out to bad-mouth flash ? People here are trying to help you, please show a little patience, respect and maturity.

>I don't understand what you mean. I posted it only once - here. > I've posted in the past, weeks and months ago. I think you're mistaken. You have posted this thread in this forum (22nd Nov) and one in the flash player forum (20th Nov) Surely your memory is not that bad that you cannot remember what you did a couple of days ago? -- Jeckyl

Rubbish [quoted text, click to view] > Windows XP: sound works for everything EXCEPT Flash. 3 Desktops, 1 > laptop - > ALL have this problem. Wow .. a whole 4 computers out of how many millions out there. Very major problem .. MM should drop everything and get this fixed immediately. [quoted text, click to view] > MM doesn't like it when I say "Flash sucks". Did you think they would love you for that sort of comment, which doesn't help anyone .. especially you by making people see you as immature and childish. -- Jeckyl
No .. your computers suck .. if it was Flash that sucked then noone would
have sound. There MUST be something about your four computers that is causing a problem / incompatibility with Flash. -- Jeckyl
Ok, check this out. Go to your publish settings for your flash file. Click on
the Flash tab. See if the check box for "Export Device Sounds" is checked. If it is, then uncheck it. This is probably your problem. Save and republish your movie and then run it. Also, I'm curious if the sounds play back in your flash movie when you go to Control->Test Movie, or if they only don't play sounds when you run the flash file in a web browser. You have left out the most important aspect of your entire problem and that is to have said whether or not you can play these flash movies on ANY computer successfully.

You can still show some love for your peers and hate flash if you wish to.

Please excuse my multiple posts. I made a mistake and submitted three times
thinking it never posted because the forum took me back to page 1 not the last page. I also only read the first page's posts so my response may be redundant to someone else's solutions.

Two days ago:
http://groups.google.com/group/macromedia.players.flash/browse_thread/thread/2fa c4c2a817846e/c0d26b2c0aa85af7?lnk=st&q=author%3Abenhenny&rnum=1&hl=en#c0d26b2c0a a85af7 http://groups.google.com/group/macromedia.players.flash/browse_thread/thread/83c 0d4df71b82618/ac2bb93fafa8b8b0?lnk=st&q=author%3Abenhenny&rnum=5&hl=en#ac2bb93fa fa8b8b0 http://groups.google.com/group/macromedia.players.flash/msg/7c509aa48cae5ba4?hl= en& Really... you've got to be patient. If you post one thread and no one is able to help you, well then tough. BUT, Jeckyl did indeed reply to one of your threads and he gave some possible solutions. Please stop complaining to us all and stop saying Flash sucks because it doesn't.
One of those is the original message that I posted two days ago (that's ONE
post) and I, nor anyone else, could find earlier today. The other TWO posts are replies to others who have had the same problem. That's 3 posts in 3 days, one of which was MIA on this web site this morning, which is why I had to repost it. Had I been able to find the original post, I wouldn't have had to repost. I get no pleasure out of retyping the same trouble. I have no control how my posts here get replicated to other servers. And I can complain all I want. Flash sucks, because it does.
Just to let you know... people don't want to help you because of your very
negative attitude. Plus, your posts keep getting deleted BECAUSE of your attitude by saying Flash sucks. If you can't find a solution, why not hire a professional to come check your PC out...
Hey. I (like a lot of people) have been fighting this no audio with
flash player problem for a while now. This comment -Could you open dxdiag (you know, Windows-R and type dxdiag in the box), go to the "Sounds" tab and click "Test DirectSound" to see whether all settings work?- Actually brought something up for me. I run the test he says to try out and hear nothing. I clicked 'no' when the diag asked me if I heard it and it pretty much just left me out to dry. I'd like it if Wolf or someone else could explain where I should go from here, or at least try and help me fix it...If you need any additional information, just let me know and I'll try and get it to you.
....I'm complaining...And this problem still hasn't been fixed for me
No more complaints .. hmmm ... I guess flash no longer suck and that this
problem that affects MANY MANY computers is now fixed. -- Jeckyl
just bumping up this thread because it's been two days with no reply...
Dang, ALL FOUR COMPUTERS won't play flash sound? I (and anybody else) would
think that at least ONE will be able to play it. Have you tested it on computers OTHER than the four? And yes benhenny has a very bad attitude and should at least pretend to appreciate our efforts but apparently doesn't And flash doesn't suck because we still be looking at boring webpages if flash didn't existed Can't he (benhenny) give us the flash code and the COMPLETE Computer configuration information? It would very much help us out. Yeeesh. i pity benhenny for his attitude so ill TRY to help him but if he acts like crap he might as well forget about it
Just posting again because no one has approached my original question
about where to go after the test in dxdiag failed. I'm also going to add that recently I tried watching a movie (I just installed quicktime yesterday so it played with that) and it also had no audio.
We've given links to websites where the various problems that cause this are
been solved. I think by absence of further comment he's fixed it, and isn't game to come back and say its working (and hence it isn't a Flash bug that affects many many computers at all) -- Jeckyl
I am having the same issue, and I use the same REALTEK AC 97 audio on my
desktop. As soon as I installed Flash 9, the sound stopped working. I tried installing the registry editor suggestion and it didn't work. I love flash but i am very upset when stuff breaks
