I had the same problem and carrying out the above will problaly resolve it. BAsically when windows does a fresh install and does not find a sound card, the default microsoft codecs are not installed. When you install the sound card drivers, most sound card drivers are clever enough to install the default Microsoft codecs for you, but some do not (like mine, it usually the "smaller" manufacturers that cut back on this - never had problem with creative sound cards!).
Anyways, you can check the codecs installed by going to control panel, sound and audio controllers, going to hardware tab, clicking the audio codecs entry and selecting properties. before you run the above fix, you will find 2-3 entries in there. Running the reg fix above wil add the entries in, but you may find that if the *.acm files that are required are missing then those codecs do not actually work. Alternative way is ensure the required files are copied is to install them manually :-

1. control panel, add hardware, next, YES hardware connected, goto bottom of list for add a new hardware device.
2. Install hardware manually (Advanced), select sound, video and game controllers, have disk and point to "C:\windows\system32" and file mmdriver.inf.
3. Select a codec to install, you maybe asked for windows xp disk.
4. repeat until all codecs are installed.

do not install the (MCI) ones as they are legacy.

Simply copy the following text to a text file

Save it as missing.reg (Make sure you include the Windows Regestry Editor Version 5.00 line) and then double click on the saved file to import it into your regestry and hey presto, you now get sound of flash content. You may have to reedit your sound scheme when you have finnished but at least flash content now works properly. Hope its helpful

I had this problem for quite a long time. Tried several times to find a fix but was unsuccessful. This time, my efforts were rewarded.

Thank you, Birdynumnum. I can now view flash content on my browser with sounds now!!

[jays4life]

perhaps some of you tech saavy guys can help me. im running XP home SP2. my computer all of a sudden isnt putting out any audio at all on flash audio or video files (myspace, youtube, cnn, liveleak etc.) but the video plays fine. im running the most recent flash, i uninstalled and reinstalled it, and still no fix. i entered the script on the first page, sent it to the registry, and still no go. this is very annoying to say the least.

can anyone help me please? if you need to contact me my email is dodgerblue77@verizon.net

thank you very much i appreciate it

Unfortunately, I too have to join this club. I've checked my registry and I do have the wavemapper entry, and I've verified that I have msacm32.drv in WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 (71,680 bytes, version 5.1.2600.2180). Just in case, I also ran the registry script.

I have uninstalled/reinstalled Flash Player 9, also tried uninstalling and then installing Flash Player 8, to no avail (I'm back up to version 9 again now).

I also do not get Windows sounds, as some others have pointed out.

My speaker is turned up and I've checked all known mixers and EQs to make sure nothing is muted.

I'm running XP SP2 Media Edition on a Dell XPS 400. I have Connectix QuickCam installed, by the way (with the most recent drivers). I'm suspicious because that has some known issues with Dells.

I'd sure appreciate some help if possible. Or at least, some other ideas to check out. I've about run out of them.

On additional clue about my problem, at least, is that if I start up Yahoo Chat, I get a message stating that my audio output is already in use. Does that help?

Just registered on your forum to ask a question about this solution everyone is raving about!

I copied and created my 'missing.txt' file and saved to my desktop (so I could find it again!). But I don't understand how to copy it to my registry? Call me stupid, but double-clicking the file only opens it. And frankly, I'm a little nervous to mess with the registry but don't really have another choice, do I? HELLLLPPPPPPP!

UPDATE: Woops, never mind -- the file was supposed to be missing.reg, not .txt, and voila! It works!

[mlodyzgp]

ok. i did what you said and i get a problem. when i double-click the file missing.reg, i get this message: Connot import C:/documents and Settings/Mlosy/Desktop/missing.reg: The specified file is not a registry script. You can only import binary registry files from within the registry editor. So, what do i do now?

[knowschad]

Today, all of a sudden, it's working again! I made no changes, picked up no updates... I have NO idea why!

I have to thank Birdynumnum for this fix as it worked for me, too. I also was wary of fooling around with the registry, but as I work with Flash and couldn't get sound to work in any Flash application after various uninstalls and reinstalls, I was desperate. (I had no system sounds or sounds in IE, either.) I was actually thinking I might have to purchase a new computer, as nutty as that might sound, because nothing would work. Even my VERY techie friends and all their solutions didn't work.

I believe that my problem began after I got a Trojan virus that must have messed with my Registry. I didn't notice it right away, as I was just relieved to had contained the virus, but before the virus, I never had this problem on this system.

Thanks again!

Tips on how to do the fix Birdynumnum posted (which worked for me).
Copy and paste the text Birdynumnum posted into Notepad by highlighting the text starting at the W in the sentence "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" down to the end ("aux3"="wdmaud.drv") copy and paste into Notepad. Be sure to remove any space if there is any in notepad from between the top of the page and the W in "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" if you leave extra spaces between the W and the top of the page that is when you can get the error some people have mentioned. Now save the file with the name of missing.reg , NOT missing.reg.txt and NOT missing.txt, but missing.reg
After you saved the file you named missing.reg just double click it and answere Yes that you want to add the info to your registry.
This fix not only cured the sound problem but now the volume knob on my keyboard is back to working. Thanks again Birdynumnum for the fix.

[mlodyzgp]

Thank God. It's working again. I think i know what i did wrong. i saved it in word pad at first, because when i opened it with note pad it was completely different. everything works fine now. thank you Birdynumnum and Spud2. U saved my life
