| 1139343 | 2010-09-24 08:54:00 | Well, this one’s got me scratching my head. A mate’s computer has taken it upon itself not to play any sound from Internet Sites. It plays saved sound fine and there are no ! or ? under System/ Hardware/Device Manager. The Sound tests perfectly using the AC97 test facilities but it refuses to play anything from You Tube. The Video is fine. :confused: Any help appreciated. :thanks Win XP. |

| 1139344 | 2010-09-24 09:03:00 | What browser is he using? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1139345 | 2010-09-24 09:08:00 | Check browser Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Mutimedia. Is there a check mark in the play from Web box. If you are using IE that is. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||
| 1139346 | 2010-09-24 09:18:00 | Thanks Guy’s, I think it’s IE6, but it’s definitely IE something. I’ll check. :thumbs: The problem has just come out of the blue. :confused: Avast thinks the system is squeaky clean as far as a Virus goes. |

| 1139347 | 2010-09-24 09:22:00 | He'll have to update it. Or use another browser. Youtube will be phasing out IE6 / will no longer be supporting it. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1139348 | 2010-09-24 10:16:00 | Youtube will be phasing out IE6 / will no longer be supporting it. Youtube no longer supports IE 6, but you can still play videos fine in IE 6. (Iam using IE 6 and all Youtube videos play fine with sound.) I would try uninstalling flash and reinstalling it, and if that does not work, try reinstalling the audio drivers. PS: is he using Win XP Sp 3? |

| 1139349 | 2010-09-24 10:18:00 | It'll probably change (if it still works now) sooner or later | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1139350 | 2010-09-25 03:44:00 | maybe there is something wrong with fan, and try to find out the issues | faith1806 (15972) | ||
| 1139351 | 2010-09-29 22:56:00 | Ok guys, I’ve now had a chance to double check your suggestions. Firstly, Internet Explorer is Ver. 8.0.6.0 and the "play sound from Internet" option is ticked in Options/Advanced. Secondly, I updated Macromedia Flash player to Ver.10 but that didn’t help. It really is a mystery because it was working fine but just stopped. As I said earlier, sound files stored locally play fine, as do sound files sent E-Mail, but the Sound is missing from You Tube Videos and similar sites. The Videos fine so it looks like he’s back to silent movies. :D |

| 1139352 | 2010-09-30 11:35:00 | Try the K-Lite codec pack. It seems to be good at sorting out issues. The myriad of audio visual codecs is a nightmare. Makes me almost wish I didn't use any AV media. |
