No audio from youtube

I just reinstalled XP and my various applications. Youtube audio and various online radio streams refuse to play.

One broadcaster had a help section and I checked the IE security options they recommend reviewing.

I have updated Flash 10 to the latest version.

I confirmed this (wavemapper registry entry set to “msacm32.drv”.) was not the issue:

I also tried K-Lite Codec Pack which confirms no registry problems

Next I installed Combined-Community-Codec-Pack

What now? Any suggestions?

I'm thinking about running a registry repair tool. Any recommendations here?

Hi aford10,

Yes, I can listen to this http://www.620kpoj.com stream just fine.

This one fails http://www.progressivetalk1150.com. What is odd is that on the 1150 site, it plays the commercial just fine but when it switches to the broadcast stream, no audio.

I spent some time reading posts about registry repair programs. It seems there is much advise to leave the registry alone. I'm inclined to take that advice unless there's a registry fix needed for this audio issue.

This is a fresh install of XP (and everything else) that occurred over the past week or so. Updating Flash was one of my first steps. I've just re-installed quicktime, just to make sure. No difference in the behavior.

And so goes my luck. Since June 2, after a reboot my Quickbooks data was mysteriously gone, data recovery was unsuccessful, lost the BIOS, then the motherboard turned out to be dead, and a week ago I rebuilt the PC and this audio crap happens. Simultaneously, the ASUS laptop I switched to during the initial crisis choked, shipped it out for repair, spent 3 days reinstalling WinXP + data, ran a chkdsk only to have WinXP refuse to allow me to log in. Preparing to RMA it back to ASUS. Rough couple of months.

Is activeX being blocked?

Made some progress. Had already reviewed help pages at other sites where I am having trouble with the stream but I looked over http://www.google.com/support/yout [...] swer=58132

Started messing with various control panel/sounds and audio devices settings. Switched from "SoundMAX" to "Sound Blaster", that resuted in my being prompted to move the audio plug to another port on the card, now I have youtube audio.

http://www.620kpoj.com works fine.

Stream from http://www.ktlkam1150.com still no go. Pre-stream advert plays, but no audio from broadcast. So stinking frustrating...

Interesting point is that on the "sounds" tab of the Control Panel settings, if I try to play some of the sounds associated with "program events", I get no sound there either. Does this reveal anything?

with any luck, this is now resolved. after 2 months of crashed hardware, in the process of re-assembling things, I overlooked the fact that my mother board had audio support and that I also had a seperate audio card.

I have to twist like a contortionist to get to the back of my computer and it was easier to see the MB ports than the audio card down below the graphics plug/cable, etc. Plugged into the soundblaster and all seems to be working as expected. Sigh. What a hassle.

Tthanks for much for all the help you have shared with me Aford10. You have earned big kharma points.
