Sound problems

[ossian]

Config: IE8, XP Pro service pack 3, separate audio card. Audio is working
fine with several applications but NOT with IE (although audio on web pages
is enabled). It has been working earlier though. Should I uninstall IE and
reinstall it or is there another remedy?

Hi Ossian,

Do you have a link to a web page where this is occurring?

You could have pressed the mute button on the Flash video you are trying to
watch and the site is retaining your preferences as you view other 'videos'.

Here is a link to a test page that will help you diagnose sound issues with
IE.

(It looks like they are not IE8 ready and they are incorrectly detecting
that I have cookies disabled.... just ignore the cookie warning)

Regards.

Hi, again.

Here is an even better test page.... gives you a number of diagnostics that
includes Java and Quicktime which may have a bearing (depending if this only
occurs on SOME web pages).

(I added this test to my favorites list... vg.)
