I'm afriad the same thing has just happened to me.

No sound in internet explorer at all (firefox the same). Sounds on the rest of my laptop are working fine.

I downloaded safari though and sound/flash works fine in it (using windows btw).

This has been driving me insane for the last couple of days. Tried all the previous mentioned ideas with no solution.

Help me from digital hell!

Many props to Birdynumnum.
I searched high and low for a solution to this, many uninstalls and reinstalls and deleting and blah blah blah. Finally found this post, and YES it was exactly what I needed. I'm going to add a few phrases to help other people find this. It is just plain dumb that reinstalling IE and Flash did not fix this issue.

no sound in IE

no sound in internet explorer

no sound in browser

music plays but websites don't

ie won't play sound

ie can't play sound

internet explorer won't play sound

hope those can help some future googler.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH Birdynumnum

Oh, go to the very first post and follow his instructions to copy all that text into a file, and name it missing.reg, and run it.
