Kind souls,
A while back, both my Windows system sounds and audio for Flash videos (e.g., YouTube,
news sites) ceased.
I am able to play mp3 and wma files.
I've reinstalled Flash, applied suggested registry fixes, and run the K-Lite Codec
Tweak Tool (well, I didn't bother running this after downloading it because the "Fixes
> Fix broken sound (Midi WaveOut) checkbox was grayed out, and "[no problem found]"
was appended to the checkbox entry). I also reinstalled my SoundMAX Digital Audio
drivers from my Gateway "Drivers" disk.
Though many forum threads I've seen say this is a Flash Player problem, I'm thinking
it's more likely solved by fixing the Windows system sounds problem than investigating
Flash Player issues.
I have no volume icon in the system tray. I tried the fix suggested (by Steve) in
another thread of deleting system tray registry entries and hoping the missing icon
would be there at my next reboot.
If I don't solve this soon, I'm tempted to reinstall XP, but that will lose me all
my apps, right? And it will lose me my filesystem unless I backup and restore, right?
Thanks in advance.
- Willie
