I cannot hear any sound in firefox!
The problem is only in firefox all other browsers are working fine.
The flash objects have no sound at all. I can make google voice chat. So I think the problem is with some flash related thing in firefox.

I have reinstalled adobe flash player (latest).
Re-installed firefox (latest).
re-installed codec pack (k-lite 6.9 full).

Thanks in advance

A short, practical summary tied to the thread: already reinstalled Flash, Firefox and codecs, and ’s Volume Mixer tip is a common, simple fix when sound is missing only in Firefox (per-app output can be muted). When Volume Mixer does not resolve the problem, start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode (temporarily disables extensions, themes and hardware acceleration) to determine whether an add-on or setting is blocking audio. Use Troubleshoot Mode in Firefox. (support.mozilla.org)

Firefox-side checklist (complements ): recommended checks include running Troubleshoot Mode, testing with a fresh profile, clearing the site’s cookies and cache, inspecting tab/site permissions for autoplay and Enhanced Tracking Protection, and setting plugins like Shockwave Flash to “Ask to activate” (click-to-play) so plugin behavior can be confirmed. Also compare behavior on an HTML5 audio/video test page to see whether the issue is plugin-specific. See Mozilla’s troubleshooting and media articles for step-by-step guidance: Fix video and audio problems on Firefox and Audio and video in Firefox. (support.mozilla.org)

Windows-side checklist: confirm the correct default playback device in Control Panel > Sound, verify that the Windows Audio services are running, run the Windows “Playing Audio” troubleshooter, update or reinstall the audio driver from the PC/motherboard vendor, and disable audio Enhancements and “Allow applications to take exclusive control” if present (these can let one app steal audio). Microsoft’s sound troubleshooting docs cover these steps in detail: Open the Playing Audio troubleshooter and Tips for fixing common sound problems. (windows.microsoft.com)

Flash-era context and safe options: this thread dates from the Flash era — Adobe ended Flash Player support on December 31, 2020 and browsers block it; Adobe advises uninstalling Flash rather than reinstalling copies from third-party sites. For legacy Flash-only content prefer emulators/preservation projects (for example Ruffle or Flashpoint) instead of trying to re-enable the old plugin. Adobe Flash EOL info. Ruffle — Flash emulator.

Danishbacker,

When you have something playing in the browser open up your volume mixer and see if the volume setting for that particular application is muted or set to low.

Right click on the speaker icon in your system tray and select "Open Volume Mixer" if you have several things open that have audio outs you may have to scroll to the right.

I had a similar problem with my windows 7 installation and this fixed it for me. I imagine you tested the same site with IE or another browser and audio works properly?
