| 1264787 | 2012-03-13 18:24:00 | Recently I have been getting no[B] sound from Mozilla Thunderbird and Firefox. I am still getting perfect sound from Musicmatch Jukebox and Skype.? I've run Dell's "Driver Reset Tool", I've run the "System File Checker". With no luck. I am running 3 antivirus programs that scan incoming and outgoing traffic as well as Comodo Firewall, which is good at detecting dubious behaviour. I have run 5 anti malware programs at their highest settings and freshly updated, nothing.? I have reinstalled all the relevant programs and the sound card. Device Manager tells me that everything is working correctly. What could the problem be? What more can I do?? |

| 1264788 | 2012-03-13 19:57:00 | Probably not a good idea running so many AV programs at once. Or running 5 anti-malware programs at once | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1264789 | 2012-03-13 20:12:00 | I didn't run them at the same time! Avast, Super Antispyware and Spybot S&D get along just fine. |

| 1264790 | 2012-03-13 20:25:00 | Must be an option in FF or TB. If the sound works everywhere else. Uninstall both then reinstall them. Might be a corrupt profile or something | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 1264792 | 2012-03-13 22:31:00 | Yeah overkill on the anti-virus front, but as to the sound problem. Have you checked what the default output device is set to? In XP it's under control panel, sounds and audio devices, under the audio tab. Window 7 is similar but I don't have it here to tell you exactly. I mention because I recently encountered a pc that had a dial-up modem set as the default audio out device which somehow still worked fine for everything except IE8 which had no sound on youtube etc. Setting it to the soundcard fixed the problem. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1264793 | 2012-03-13 22:33:00 | Control panel / sound in Win7. If a dialup modem is also a voicemodem, it can set itself as the default sound device | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1264794 | 2012-03-13 22:37:00 | A very bad idea. You should only have one AV otherwise there will be conflicts. I've never actually seen these 'conflicts' But, running multiple anti-anything programs with realtime scanners will at the least impact system performance horribly. |
