I cant get any sound for the last two weeks from my speakers when I am on my web browser. When I am on Itunes or Windows Media the sound plays fine. I cant figure it out and nobody has helped me solve this problem. I had a virus and after I removed it this problem occurred. I never had this problem before. I hope somebody can help, thanks.

Depending on the virus it may be hidden in your system.
OK then I need to see what the Audio Properties show as your default audio device.
Go to Start and then to Control Panel
Right click on the Sound or Audio Devices and then click on Properties
At the top of the window click on Audio and what does it say for Default Audio Device?
Click on Playback and same information?

In the sound playback section under default device it says:
SoundMAX Digital Audio. And also in the Device volume section I have the "Place volume in task bar" checked, but the icon is not in my task bar on bottom right.

Check speaker connection to back of system
Check volume control in windows by doing the following:
Go to Start and The Run
Type in sndvol32.exe and press Enter
Make sure Master Volume is not muted and turned up
Check Cd Player volume is not muted and turned up

OK in IE go to the top of the window and click on Tools or Help In one of them you will find Preferences and click on that.
Now a new window should open with several tabs at the top. Click on Advanced.
Now scroll down the list till you find the Multimedia area and make sure your sound options are checked.
Click Apply and then OK.
Let me know if this works for you.

OK this is not looking good but i have another suggestion.

Download no_sound_in_browsers.reg file to your desktop.
Double click on it, and allow registry merge.
Restart computer.

Adding another idea to try; not trying to steal any thunder rshaffer61 :)

Depending on what you are listening to on your browser, (Youtube perhaps) it could be an Adobe Flash Player problem..

Uninstall and Reinstall Adobe Flash Player:
  • Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Adobe Flash Player(version) <----(Uninstall this)
  • Download and install a fresh copy/version HERE.
  • Restart your computer.

Nope not stealing my thunder as we're all here to help. If you have the resolution that is great in my book. Thanks for the suggestion and hopefully one of the two will be the correct answer for genvito :) :)
