That worked for me

Guys can't thank you enough for reading this thread. Although I tried all of the above it still wouldn't work then I checked the 'Sounds & Audio Devices' in 'Control Panel'. On the 'Audio device' tab there is a 'Sound Playback device' drop down list. Mine was set to 'Modem #0 Line Playback' I changed it to 'C-Media Wave Device'. Hey Presto the audio was restored. Now I'm wondering if I needed CCleaner and K-lite Codec after all?? Anyways its all working now so just wanted to say thanks for your ideas in this post. Hope others if they to are stuck after trying the above posts may find this last tip works
PS I went back to Flash Player 8 as well just in case it was Flash Player 9 that caused it. Seems to work ok with Sky News and YouTube so I aint going to upgrade just yet.

I registered just to post this. I've been tearing my hair out trying to find a solution to this problem, this thread continually came up in Google searches so I decided to post here to help.

None of the suggested fixes worked, including re-installing drivers, flash and registry fixes. I found a solution by creating a test account and monitoring file access and registry access during access to the You Tube site and comparing with the "broken" account.

My symptoms were the following. Only You Tube had no audio in any browser, Google video, offline flv playback and all other flash video sites were fine. It appears, although I can't be absolutely certain that CCleaner removes the soundData.sol file (site specific sound preferences I thnk). Replacing that file fixes the problem.

I created a new user account, which by default worked ok on You Tube, you could also try creating a new account and if You Tube works in that account then your problem is probably the same. The file is found in C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\profilename*\www.youtube.com\soundData.sol

You'll need to set hidden files/system files to be visible in folder options to see it.

Hope this helps somebody.

Hi guys I tried everything you suggested on, on sound from youtube download. I downloaded gspot, k-light codex, reinstalled flash player but nothing. I am now using AVS video converter called- ( AVS Video to Go ) it works great all you do is upload into AVS and steps 1-5 will convert and it plays perfectly. This also works on Vista too.
Here is the link if anybody wants it, it is a free download. thanks.

recently I had this same problem with youtube videos .... it seems that your sound device simply vanished... I don't know if the following solution will work; but what do you have to lose.

1. open quicktime player
2. click "edit"
3. click "audio"
4. click "select audio playback and recording devices"


your sound and audio properties window will open
check your default sound playback and recording device

should be set to your default plaback device


Since I use c-media as my playback device .. that is what i set my default device to; and guess what ... youtube sound returned.

Hey, I have downloaded the K-Lite Codec Pack however I cannot see [Registry] Fix non-working system sound when I go into the Codec Tweak Tool, or are you referring to the "Fix Broken Sound" box underneath the "Fixes" box?

[franklinenator]

I run vista and lost all web base sound, just ran the K-Lite codec pack as advised below and restored all my sound, great post, been looking for fix for this for about a week. I thank you kindly

[Kareta345]

I'm aprreciating all this advice, but I'm still unable to get audio through the Internet. The Windows Media Players works fine, but YouTube and all other Internet video sites I've tried are silent. I tried downloading the newest version of Direct X, reinstalling Adobe Flash Player, and the K-Lite solution.

The problem is, like acejb12, I do not see the check box mentioned. I'm positive I downloaded the full version and not the basic or standard, but I simply don't see the box. Might it be called something else? Under fixes, there's one that says "Fix Broken Sound (Midi, WavOut) [no problem detected]," but it's unavailable to check.

UPDATE: I went browsing further about the problem and see a major difference between what I should be seeing and what I do. I saved the screencap of the examples and one of the Codec Tweak I'm getting.

This is what I should see.

This is what I do see.

[whitj001]

I see the same screen as he does, when we should be seeing a different screen. Is there anybody else who sees the same screen as us who has actually solved this problem? Help would be greatly appreciated!

I still have not the slightest idea what to do about the codec pack, but I did manage to fix (using the term rather loosely) the audio problem.

This is what I found to be happening: I had gone to my audio settings early in this process and made sure it was not set to modem. After wading through further options (Firefox, K Lite, etc.), I went back to the beginning. Lo and behold, my audio was back to modem. For a while, I had to keep resetting it because my computer insisted on setting modem for my audio. It was fine for about a week before resetting twice more. Since then, it's been behaving, but we'll see.

My only tip here is to watch your audio settings with a hint of OCD to make sure they're not resetting.

I was having exactly the same problem, tried everything in this thread but none of it worked. Totally tearing my hair out for 2 weeks when I finally did the following to resolve the problem. Went onto the youtube website and slid the voume slider up to maximum worked a treat, felt like a jackass afterwards though.

And the moral of this???? When all else fails just do the flippin obvious, now where's me carrots!!!!

[Zarin Denatrose]

For those of you on Vista and having no success, I've written another solution to this problem on my weblog here: Fixing Sound in Firefox on Vista

[kwroten]

After a week of WTF? It's FIXED!

First, thanks to all for their fixes, though I tried each one and nothing worked. Literally, I did everything I read here and nothing.

I don't know what the deal was, but I noticed that my quicktime (I actually use quicktime alternative) was not working on webpages - it told me it wasn't installed.

So I downloaded the latest Q.T. Alternative 2.60 (you can google it; it's where K-Lite codec mega pack is) from Edskes final downloads site and re-installed, making sure to check the option to associate it with streams.

Everythings back now. Whew.

EDIT:

Crap.. I rebooted and now it's gone again, audio doesn't work on websites.. Any ideas?

It sounds like some process was resident in the memory from the install, but then it didn't get re-started after the boot.
