i've done like what you say, go to this link and download the audio file. then i run it creates a folder name R122161 in C:\Dell\Driver
then i run the installation and when it finished, i restart the computer but still can't hear any sound from the website like youtube, and there's still no sound icon in the task bar. i didn't uninstall the old sound device 'coz i don't know how. i just run that .exe file i download from i website you gave.

What icon on the desktop are you clicking? If you installed it correctly then just try to listen to music.

Quoted from another forum:
Yay I fixed it thanks for the suggestions.
here is how it was a posting on an adobe fourm I found about 6 pages deep on the google search for no sound from youtube:
Alright the problem is really the mapping of wavemapper in Windows registry as reported by one member of the forum. All you need to do is to open registry editor by going to Start menu, Run, typing regedit and then Enter. After that, in the registry editor, walk yourself through the tree in the left pane, till you reach
My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32
And then on the right pane, right click and click on New, select String value, enter "wavemapper" (without quots of course), ENTER, type "msacm32.drv", ENTER.
Close the editor. No need to restart. Video on Google and YouTube et al would work fine now.
Thanks to the member who pointed out the key. I just mentioned the procedure.

I have a similar problem in XP.
My sound worked fine.
Then I got a vundo virus which Sage5 was kind enough to help me fix.
But after this, sound works fine everywhere except for sound coming from the internet (i.e. streaming video and such). I can play mp3s, video games, movies, etc with sound, but nothing on the internet.
Plus as hkimle pointed out, my audio controls were removed from the tool bar, and they don't reappear if I check them in control panel.
I tried the regedit suggestion, but "wavemapper" already existed in my registry (so I deleted it and added it again ...no change).
Any other suggestions?
