No sound on webpages!!!!!
 

:confused: I'm so confused, I hope someone is able to help me. Here's the problem; When a play a movie or song with Windows Media Player or another player I have sound. But when I try to play something off a webpage for example QuickSilverScreen I don't have any sound. There's video but no sound. Not a peep. I don't understand why my laptop is doing this. I've never had this problem before, it's so frustrating :mad: ! I've also tried troubleshooting, but that's no help! Please, someone help me solve this problem, I'd be very grateful:happy:

So you are unable to hear sound from youtube video's try upgrading your flash plugin for your browser.

Also try using different browser other than IE like Firefox to see if it works.

I tried that after I first started having the problem. I now use Firefox, which by the way is way better than IE, but I'm still having the same problem. It's not just with youtube, but pretty much any webpage with video or sound. But I can hear from other programs like media player, etc. Thanx for the suggestion, any others. Please help, it's just bugging me. Mainly because I can't watch TV online.

Download latest flash player and give it a try.
Adobe - Adobe Flash Player

I did that too it still doesn't work. I'm wondering if I installed something that caused this. Because it worked fine before. Should i roll back my computer or something? But I don't want to do that.

What did you install?
Restoring your computer to previous good state is one option, but before that try uninstalling what ever you installed and check if it works.

I honestly don't know what I installed. I've installed so many things. But I did restore it a couple of weeks ago. But I'm still having the same problem. I'm so frustrated and running out of options.

have these pages had sounds before? it could be as simple as a missing codec in the files you are viewing online.

Yeah, it's pretty much every single page I view that has video with sound, a few examples are YouTube, QuickSilverScreen, Myspace, etc. I don't know what happened it worked fine one day then the next, nothing. I tried the codecs, I mean I pretty sure I have the ones I need because I can view movies, and listen to music with MediaPlayer and there is no problem with the sound there. So I don't know what else is causing me to not have osund on the web.

Go into Tools>Options in Firefox and then go to the Content tab and click manage (near the bottom). Make sure that all the file types listed have a program / plug in to open them. When you first install Firefox you need to go round getting all the plugins installed.

If they are all ok then I would uninstall all the programs that you have installed recently that affect your audio, any players etc.

Finally you can install all the latest audio codecs from Microsofts site here

Hey, I just wanted to let everyone know that I finally fixed my problem. I'm ecstatic about it too! :happy: So thanks to everyone for their help. Here's how I fixed the problem for anyone else that comes across this problem. I can't say that this is a solution for everyone, but it worked for me.

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\Win dows 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, right click again and click modify under value data type "msacm32.drv", ENTER.

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

We are glad your problem is solved, and Thanks for letting us know how you solved the problem.

No problem :)
