HI I am hoping someone can help me. I can hear videos, music or anything downloaded on my hard drive but I cannot hear anything on the internet. No you tube, no movies, no radio programs nothing. I updated both java and adobe flash driver but still no sound. Any idea of what is going on? Thanks :D

Hello Pjsantos6.... Welcome to

I'm sorry to hear about your issue. We will try to help you resolve this as soon as possible.
  • Please understand we are all volunteers and we are not here all the time.
  • Sometimes it may be a extended amount of time to get back to you. If it has been
    more then 3 days please shoot me a PM and I will try to get back to you quickly
    then.
  • Please do the following and supply the requested information as needed. If you
    don't understand my instructions please ask and I will try to explain them

How To Fix:
  • Go to START-->RUN and type regedit to open the Registry Editor
  • Navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32
  • Now right-click on the heading Drivers32 and select NEW-->STRING VALUE.
  • Call this new String Value wavemapper.
  • Now double-click the wavemapper entry you just created and for the VALUE field, type in msacm32.drv and click OK.
  • Close the Registry Editor and try watching a video on youtube again.

Thank you for your help. I finally have sound. I read an old post dealing with my problem and followed its advice. It appears my drivers were outdated. As soon as I updated my drivers I had sound. so thank you for everything. :D
