Default Help...

would be GREATLY appreciated.

Problem: I don't have any sound from web page media...like NBC, YouTube, Dailymotion, etc. However, I can play video on my computer and I have sound using all media players except Windows Media Player. It seems odd that I can't get sound from WMP but I can get sound from VLC, Winamp or whatever else I use. However, that issue is relatively minor compared to not being able to hear sound through web media.

I have searched endlessly on the internet trying to find something that would cure this issue, but to no avail. I did see back on post 10, that eaze187(I know it's been about 5 years since eaze187 posted) suggested that if you can hear sound off your computer then it's a software problem. If that's the case, what software would that be?

Okay, let's see if I can remember all what I've done...unfortunately I'm not a computer guru and I know just enough to be dangerous on the computer...in other words I can go to places that once I get there...I wonder what heck I'm supposed to do. Anyhow...

What I've done:
-I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Flash
-I went to RUN - REGEDIT - then followed to instructions to double check if the windows sound was set on Automatic...it was.
-I did something through RUN - msconfig...but I don't remember exactly and whatever I tried to doing...it didn't work.
-I downloaded a driver updater and updated the majority of my drivers...except for one involving my mouse which works just fine...none that fixed my sound.
-I tried on a whim to run CCleaner to see if that would help fix the problem...NO
-I have also double checked my volume and the volume on YouTube and other places to make sure it's turned on

As far as I can recollect, that's about all I have done. However, I open to trying any suggestions.

One more thing, my computer has been giving me sound fits for about the last month or so. Prior the month plus the sound worked fine.

I guess that's about it. If any of you computer guru's on OCC have any questions, feel free to ask.
Thank you for any help that can be offered.
