Browser sound disabled! Help!
« on: January 31, 2005, 11:44:31 PM »
Hey!  For some reason a coulple of days ago, the sound coming through my browser ceased and desisted!  I use Netscape 7 for the most part, but even IE is no good.  wmp files I download work fine though when played through the player.  But nothing -- strongbad emails, AIM "bleeps" and "bloops" to send/receive messages, midi files from websites -- NOTHING is coming through!

Help, Cap'n!

Check under Tools | Internet Options | Advanced

Scroll to Multimedia and make sure "Play sounds in Web Pages" is checked.

Thanks, Tom, but it is checked in IE.  My main browser, though, is Netscape.

I just can't get any sound from webpages, period.   :(

It's gonna sound lame-o, but try reinstalling your service pack for the OS you are running.
W2k -> sp4
XP -> Sp2

Sounds like the npaudio plugin/driver isn't working properly. The only way I know of to fix it, since all browsers use this plugin, would be to the resinstall the service pack which has it.
