Hi lads,


I m having problem with the audio in MSN, where i cannot hear any sound, and
also in MySpace, where the Flash Players seem to be buffering and playing but
neither there i can hear sound. In general there is problem with the sound in
all sites that are using flash.

Windows Media Player and all the other audio programmes are working properly.

Are there any suggestions please?

Hi Orestiss, our quest for a solution to this one appears to have led us to the
same place! I've got 2 MySpace accounts one ordinary & one for my music. I
can't hear a sound on either which is a bit rough as I wanted to share my songs
with friends who didn't want any more 5 Mb e-mails! I guess you've tried help
at MySpace, their forums, support advice here etc like me. Just thought I'd
back up what you're saying-its not us its a common issue. It doesn't do their
name much good so if its the web-site the Adobe people need to offer some
advice! If its the player we need MySpace to ditch it and get a better one.
Best wishes, I'm MikeG, London

We are researching this issue, and the best thing you could both do
would be open support cases via http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer.

Well I'm glad you're researching it, Bentley. I just want to chip in and say
I'm having the same problem except that I wouldn't touch myspace with a ten
foot pole. I first ran into the problem with podshow.com and then with youtube.
It's funny because I first had the trouble after an auto update for Second
Life. Before that, audio worked fine in both applications, now it doesn't work
in either. I have no idea what might have been modified, and Second Life
support isn't very available. I've been on the line with apple support people
and have done everything from reinstalling the flash plugin to reinstalling the
operating system. Do you think maybe you could tell us what audio drivers are
used by flash?

Adobe has recently released Flash Player 9. Download and check to see if the new Player resolves these audio issues.

You can download Flash Player 9 here:

Thanks for the update but I still don't have any sound. The site that it goes
to after install says I have version 9.0.18.0.[/q]

What kind of sound card do you have?

Also, try the following before you install the Flash Player 9.

1. Download the most recent Flash Player uninstaller (3.0.0.17) from "How to
uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX control"
(http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157). Save this file to your desktop. If you have
any saved versions of previous Flash Player uninstallers please delete them.

2. Quit ALL running applications, including all Internet Explorer windows,
other browser windows, AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger or
other Messengers. Check the Windows system tray carefully to make certain no
applications which might possibly use Flash Player are still in memory.

3. Launch Flash Player uninstaller (3.0.0.17) previously saved to your
desktop. Complete the uninstallation.

4. Launch your web browser. Install the latest Flash Player from the Flash
Player Download center at http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer. Please note
that the Yahoo toolbar offer shown to some users is optional. If you do not
wish to get Yahoo Toolbar please deselect this option.

5. After installation, verify that the Flash Player is installed successfully
by going to http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/. The version should be
9.0.16.0. (Not sure why you are getting 9.0.18.0?)

Best of Luck!

:grin;

I fixed my problem by doing the follwoing:::

1) Go to free-codecs and download the FULL version of the K-Lite Codec Pack
---> http://www.free-codecs.com/K_Lite_Codec_Pack_download.htm

2) Once it's downloaded run the installation, but I don't recommend installing
any of the codecs the pack comes with (you will have the ability during
installation to choose what to install by checking/unchecking boxes). Uncheck
all the boxes except for those in the bottom two categories titles Tools and
Compatability.

3) Click Next and complete the install.

4) Go to the start menu entry and choose Configuration - and then select the
Codec Tweak Tool.

5) Check the box next to the entry - [Registry] Fix non-working system sound,
then click next.

6) You will receive notice of completion and your sounds for flash should be
working again!!

Hope this helps somebody out!!!!!

:grin; I now have sound. I read a message about someone with an Apple going
into control panel and I did that. I don't have an Apple I have a PC, but went
into Control Panel/Sounds and Audio and messed around in there. Can't tell you
what I did because I tried a lot of stuff, but maybe this will help someone. I
can now hear Combo 5 and the cards shuffle in my card games!

It sounds like everyone may have solved their problems, but no one mentioned
the solution that worked for me. I've tried the control panels, the new version
of flash player, and even reinstalling my OS. What finally worked was opening
garage band, going to the audio midi tab in the preferences, and selecting the
second of the two available output options. Here's the thing: both options are
named the exact same thing: "Built-In Output". Oddly enough, the audio/midi
utility that ships with the OS was not helpful, and believe me, I looked more
than twice and tried everything available.

***A word to the wise:

While these step by step instructions will help anyone without any prior
knowledge of computers whatsoever...the very first thing you should do is set a
'Restore Point' so that if you experience any problems, you can 'roll back'
your computer to where it was 'BEFORE' you started messing with the system
registry. For the complete 'Newbie' here's how to do that:

1. Click 'Start'
2. Go to(point with mouse but don't click) 'All Programs'
3. Go to 'Accessories'
4. Go to 'System Tools'
5. Click 'System Restore'
6. Click 'Create A Restore Point'
7. Click 'Next'
8. Type 'Whatever you want...be creative and have fun' [I use 'Just messing
with my system registry'] ;)
9. Click 'Create'
10. Follow whatever instructions your computer dictates...(for example
'Restart' etc.)


Notes:

These notes pertain to a 'PC' running 'Windows XP Home Edition' with service
pack 2, 'Internet Explorer 7' and 'Macromedia 9' installed. Where I refer to
clicking in the above instructions; every 'PC' out of the box I've ever seen
MUST be 'double clicked'. I've set mine to single clicking in case anyone tries
to ask me, "Don't you mean 'double click'?" Further, and this is for the
'Newbie', when you 'click' your mouse, it's mostly using the 'left' button.
Therefore, I've specifically stated to 'right click' wherever it was required.
Have fun with your computer and don't get stressed out...anytime you have a
problem just remember you're probably not alone and someone 'out there' will
have a solution for you. One easy way is to go to http://www.Google.com and
type your 'problem' in the search box.


Also, if you are still not getting any sound:

1. Go to 'Start'
2. Go to 'Control Panel'
3. Go to 'Administrative Tools'
4. Click 'Services' and make sure the 'Windows Audio' has 'started' in the
'status' column


The one thing a lot of people running 'older' versions of Windows have to bear
in mind...Microsoft no longer supports anything before XP. Therefore as time
continues and updates come along, anyone running pre-XP systems will often be
unable to use the new features, and in some cases not be able to use the
application at all (Quick Time won't even download to anyone that doesn't have
at least Windows 2000[service pack 4] or XP for an example)!!! So, if you are
having problems, you might consider updating to at least XP (which for some
people might even mean purchasing a newer computer). Cheers...
