The other day this happened to me. I had updated real player and later that day went to watch a video on You-Tube it had no sound. This was driving me nuts as it worked early that day. I was about to give up and try all these suggestions above when I noticed that when I opened You-Tube and clicked on the video the sound was turned way over to the left. I clicked it back over to the middle and sound was there. Some update must have turned the sound off. When I have gone back to You-Tube the setting is still in the middle. Check it first. Hope this works for some.

I have been going crazy with this one too but I finally found a solution. Here it is:
Go to a page with a Flash video on it.
Click on the video to activate Flash, then right click on it to bring up the Flash menu.
Click on "Settings", then click the "Advanced..." button.
This should open a new browser window with the Flash Player Settings Manager.
Look on the left side, under "Table of Contents" and "Flash Player Help", for "Global Storage Settings Panel"
Click the "Global Storage Settings Panel" link. This will load the panel on the right side in a Flash object.
You will find that the "Allow third-party Flash content to store data on your computer" box is unchecked.
Check that box!!!
After the box is checked, it should save the setting right away, but I had a little trouble getting it to save the setting. I had to close all open Internet Explorer windows and go back and check the box several times, but finally it saved the setting. Once it did, I had audio in my embedded YouTube videos again.
Guys, this is the thing that worked for me. Same problem, couldn't hear imbedded YouTube videos on anybody's site. All other videos were fine (YouTube on the YouTube site, GoFish, Vimeo, MySpace). Only the imbedded YouTube ones. This was easy to fix with the instructions given by MikeBomb. Man, I owe you one of these (make that 2):

the Windows Registry Editor thing didn't work for me, but finally found something that did! i had no sound on any of my flash files (videos, music) and now everything is back in 100% working order. i know nothing about computers, but it had something to do with downloading a different codec pack (whatever that is!) and uninstalling an old one. just follow the directions--if i could do it, anyone can!

Easy, quick & effective

I encountered a similar problem upon downloading Adobe's flash player 9. Unlike the majority of individuals who have posted complaints on this forum, NONE of the sound on my PC worked. AT ALL. PERIOD. So, I searched on here to find the solution, had an idea, and apparently it has paid off. Try adjusting your PC's audio hardware settings. All I did was test my digital output, and all of a sudden, I could hear again. It was like waking from a nightmare. I use an Acer Aspire 3050 notebook and run Windows Vista home basic, for everyone's reference.
Just wanting to offer a hand to my fellow vexed and baffled users,

I've tried everything:
-Uninstalling and installing flash player
- installing Adobe Flash
- K-lite code pack fix
- CCleaner
-Registry fix
-Sound settings check/fixes
**** just does not work. wtf adobe. buy out macromedia and then break their products... gg.
I tried all of the same things and even purchased a new sound card and that did not work either. My problem was that I did not have sound on youtube only. All sound worked great everywhere else. After banging my head and trying all of the different "fixes", I experimented on my own. I am running Windows Vista Home Basic upgraded from Windows XP. Someone mentioned that when they made another USER ACCOUNT that they were able to get sound on youtube but only with that user account and not their Administrator account. I created another user and sure enough the sound worked. Then began a long process of switching between accounts and checking files to see what was different. This is what I found. First make sure that you are able to view HIdden Files and Folders. This is done by selecting Start Menu, Computer, Organize, Folder and Search Options, View, Hidden Files and Folders then selecting Show Hidden Files and Folders. Click Apply. Click OK. Now find the folder for the current user. Mine is located right under the Desktop icon in Windows Explorer. Open that file. Click on AppData, then Roaming, then Macromedia, then Flash Player, then Macromedia.com, then Support, then Flash Player, then SYS. You should now have a list of all the websites that have used the flash player. On mine there were 2 entries for youtube. One was #www.youtube.com and the other was simply #youtube.com. I checked the same place on the User Account that worked correctly and guess what? No entry for #youtube.com so I deleted that entry on the Non-Working Account. I then followed the same path except instead of choosing Macromedia.com I chose the #SharedObjects file and deleted all files that had any reference to youtube. I hope that if you are as frustrated as I have been over the past few months that this finally fixes your problem.

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.
Have a nice day!
That solved my problem straight away. I've had no sound for about 3 months in flash, and could not figure out why. I can not thankyou enough

I was in my third day of pulling out hair when I ran across this after trying every thing mentioned above in additionto ever other fix on earth You may want to try this before you try the other more techinacal fixes .In Windows Media Player - Tools - Options - Devices - Speakers - Properties - Audio Device to Use: Select the SoundMax Digital Audio from the pull down menu and Apply. Restart the Media Player and the sound should work for you.When I refreshed the media player it prompted me to upgrade and I did. I don't know if the sound max change did the trick or the upgrade but now I have sound on youtube. I tried flash player 8 and it did not work I could not get flash player 7 to load. After I made the media player change I reloaded flash player 9 because I did not have anything due to loading and unloadingseveral. So now I'm running flash player 9 and getting sound from youtube so it can be done!!
so if you want to do exactly what I done do this: uninstall flash 9 then do this: Windows Media Player - Tools - Options - Devices - Speakers - Properties - Audio Device to Use: Select the SoundMax Digital Audio from the pull down menu and Apply. Restart the Media Player . If it prompts you to upgrade media player then do so. Then reinstall flash 9( this is done easily by going to youtube and if you dont have flash 9 it will tell you so and give you a link to the down load) this corrected my problem so I hope it solves your issues. I though I was completely out of ideas beforeoI tried this . I joind this forum just to post this because I know how a pain in the but this can be ..... good luck| -
