No sound in Flash movies

[El Gonzo]

About 2 weeks ago, I noticed that linked YouTube videos that I had previously
watched and listened to suddenly had no sound. A little more investigation
showed me that no flash videos had sound any more. I've reinstalled several
times, including both OS X versions. I've used the uninstaller (which, by the
way, does not delete all of the Flash files in the Library folder). I've
reinstalled all of my browsers. No online Flash movie from any source has sound
on any browser.

Can anyone help?

I just reinstalled my system with XP SP2 and found that sound in Macromedia
Flash player (version 9) wasn?t working. I compared it to another machine and
found out that - for some obscure reason - the wavemapper mapping was missing.

I tried reinstalling other versions of the Flash player, but to no success ?
So I added the mapping myself via the registry.

Go to the following sweetspot in your registry:

My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Win dows
NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32

Create a new String value named ?wavemapper?. As value give it ?msacm32.drv?.

And that?s it, no restart necessary, all your Flash embedded videos will have
sound again :)

Hi. Thanks for yr hint since I have the same problem.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to get "the registry" or if it is a folder. On
top of that, I haven't be able to find "My
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Win dows
NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32" in my PC.

Would you be so kind and provide a more detailed info?

Thanks in advance for yr help.

512 Jones: I'm a Mac user and don't have a registry or its equivalent on my
computer, but thanks for the help.

Enola01: To get to the entry he mentioned, you have to edit the registry.
There is a command line utility called regedit that you can use, but if you
aren't pretty well familiar with it, I wouldn't try to do it yourself; you can
pretty much trash XP if you make a big mistake with regedit. I'd suggest
printing jones' message and looking for a friend who's familiar with registry
editing to check it out for you.
