Sound no longer working in Internet Explorer..

[PyR0NiAk]

I've tried numerous random things to get my sound to work... Even a missing.reg file... This blows... Any suggestions, BESIDES download firefox.. I hate just doing something to ignore a problem. I'd rather fix it.

[PyR0NiAk]

Anyone?

[speedeast]

Anyone?

Lol. Are you sure it's only in internet explorer? Have you tried other sites with noise? Maybe it's blocking media from an untrusted site? Good luck.

Oh, and if it is the case, Internet Explorer in it's entirety is the problem... Firefox being the solution, lol!

Youtube... Netflix... Hulu... I don't think any of these would be on the untrusted list..

[speedeast]

Ok, then go into Tools/Internet Options, go to the Advanced tab and scroll down to "Multimedia." Make sure "Play sounds in webpages" is checked.

[PyR0NiAk]

Done that.. Even reset back to default settings... I am completely baffled..

[speedeast]

Well, you got me. What I would do in this situation is go into add/remove programs and start deleting IE updates starting with the most recent until it's fixed... usually works, lol. Problem is, IE will try to re-update, assuming this works. If it doesn't work, then re-updating is good!

Installed firefox.. STILL NO SOUND...

[speedeast]

Do you have sound with WMP or Winamp or something? Check the plug? Sound drivers good? I'll check back tomorrow, good luck bro.

[PyR0NiAk]

I can hear music from zune and wmp without a problem... It's just browser related issues...

[PyR0NiAk]

Anyone else got any ideas? If it helps, I've noticed my computer doesn't play the windows start-up sound when I turn on my computer and log in.

Now it sounds like it could be a codec problem.

[PyR0NiAk]

So how do I fix this?

[speedeast]

Download codecs.

Try this one:

Since it is freeware, read everything before you continue, so you don't accidentally install some annoying toolbar or another media player just because you forgot to uncheck a box for it.

Download. Install. Restart.

[PyR0NiAk]

Forget this post exists.

[PyR0NiAk]

Well, codecs weren't the answer either. I realized during the install, that the codes you gave me were for windows nt. They, of course, didn't fix the problem, so I googled xp codecs and got some, but still no fix.

[speedeast]

Lol, yeah I was tired.

[PyR0NiAk]

Lol... It's alright.. I was too.. I downloaded xp codecs.. I have Vista... Either way, Ijust restored to my oldest restore file... It fixed it.. I was afraid of doing this earlier because I thought I would lose my music. It let me keep it though.

[speedeast]

It might have been an update or something you installed... oh well. Glad you got it working bro!!!!!

[PyR0NiAk]

Well, in my updates options, it said that on the 26th, I deleted a realtek driver or something... I figure that was it.. I just selected the oldest update, then got rid of my current av software and installed avira

[speedeast]

Realtek is for sound...

[PyR0NiAk]

yeah, that's what i thought.
