So there is a laptop Toshiba Satellite m70-122 with Windows XP Home Edition which refuses to play normally the sounds from YouTube movies. The sounds was like a whistle!!! Strange ... first time to see something like this!!! I was checking the drivers for the sound card: old! Saying to my self: I will update the drivers and everything will be OK! But I took a look at windows version and was Service pack 2...oh no, I will have allot to do! Calling my customer to inform about the delay, google search about the problem and I found nothing relevant. I found a page with "11 fixes for no sound in Flash videos" at http://www.codecguide.com/fix_for_flash_sound_problems.htm and the must important tip from that page was to delete the following folders:
C:\Documents and Settings\%UserName%\Application Data\Adobe\Flash Player
C:\Documents and Settings\%UserName%\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash
those are temporary file folders and if one file is corrupted than a sound problem could arise!
I updated the windows to SP3, downloaded & installed K-lite codec pack, cleaned temporary internet files (from IE and Mozilla), updated drivers for the sound card, updated Flash player to the last version and finally the sound is ok!
Hope that will help all of you with the same problem!
