| I just received a new computer, I have it all set up however I have no sound coming from my browsers (IE and Firefox). I have sound from the rest of Windows, just nothing from sites like youtube. I have tried reinstalling flash and still got nothing. Any ideas? |

No Sound in Internet ExplorerResolution:-
1.Open Control Panel. 2.Double Click to open Sounds and Audio Devices. 3.Click Sounds tab. 4.Scroll down to Windows Explorer, which is present under the Programs events. 5.Select Complete Navigation and Start Navigation. Click OK/Apply. ETA You might want to check the other sounds under "Widows Explorer", or just reset your Sound Scheme to Windows Default. |

Doesn't vista allow the muting of individual applications? If you have sound everywhere else I would guess this.
Open IE. Then. Right click on the speaker icon in the bottom right by the clock and go to "Open Volume Mixer" see if anything is muted in there... Just a guess. |

However, when I checked the speakers volume is registering sound from FF, but I'm not getting anything out of my speakers. |

Try this... at your own risk. It's the Registry.
Go to START-> RUN -> type regedit then hit enter. Navigate to: My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32 If it doesn't exist create a new String value named “wavemapper“. As value give it “msacm32.drv“. IF IT DOES EXIST, close Regedit and don't save any changes. You're screwed and we need to find a new solution. Close all browsers then open Youtube and test the sound. |
