I lost all sound on Flash Player a few days ago - have a Mac OS X 10.6.8, Safari 5.1.7 and Google Chrome 19.0.1084.54.  I

downloaded 11.3  and uninstalled Safari and uninstalled and reinstalled 11.3.  No luck.  Any one have any other ideas - would

sure appreciate hearing them.  Spent hours trying to get this to work correctly.

Odd that Flash Player isn't going into Applications - going on the desk top.

I've read the forums and I've done everything I can think of to get my sound to work.  I even installed the Adobe uninstaller and ran that but according to the Adobe page it is still installed.  That really makes no sense to me.  I ran both audio tests with the htmls giving me sound but the other never stopped loading.  I had no sound with it at all.  I will be filing a report after I post this. 

This issue needs to be fixed IMMEDIATELY as I am going to college online and that requires me to watch and LISTEN to videos!  I can't do that if my sound is not working!  I have even tried to revert to the previous Adobe before the update but that didn't fix my problem either.  This is a HUGE problem for those people like myself that are REQUIRED to have sound on the internet for more than just "play" purposes.

I have uninstalled the latest version and returned to 11.2 and I have sound in Internet Explorer 8 but not Google Chrome.  Still working on trying to fix the problem with that now.

I did the test with the HTML5 vs Flash and the HTML5 worked ok but not the flash.  Sent in a bug report and hope it helps.  The thing is that the test workes fine in IE 9 but not in Chrome19 in my Vista machine.  Hope you guys get it fixed up quickly.  Oh, it also works fine in my Ubuntu Chrome19 so there you have it.

thanks

Will this work with Google Chrome because according to Chrome they automatically update their browser to the newest version of Adobe and that is currently why my Adobe still has no sound but my IE does?  Thanks for the advice.  I've uninstalled Chrome and re-installed it but it didn't solve my issue because of their automatic upgrading.  Advice besides using IE because it really is too slow for the internet browsing and gaming that I do.

My issue is a little different, I do get sound but only through subwoffer. The other speakers in my 5.1 surround get nothing. It works fine on the html5 test but not on flash. I submitted a bug report with my dxdiag info. I'm running win 7 64 with latest Google Chrome browser and realtek onboard audio. BTW...Just checked and IE still works fine but shows flash ver 11.2.

Chris:

How does one get around the problem of the 11.2 and 10.3 installers refusing to install and giving the error message that they are not the latest versions of the software?

I was finally able to get sound to work by reverting back to Flash 10.3. I needed to use the stand-alone installer to unistall Flash. I then had to delete all Flash files from remnant Macromed folders on my computer. I am not sure what the differences are between the 10.3 installers in the zip file, but I had to use the winax installer to get it to work.

Its alittle more technical here's a link to explain how to truly revert to 11.2 you don't really need to go back to 10.3 at all period. Just follow the instruction from the link below.

I shouldn't say fix. More like a work around, found by dumb luck. I hope they get it resolved soon. I'm using windows vista.

i had no sound on chrome, but sound in IE 8, Vista 32bit.

then i updated to latest versoin ... 11.3 r300

and NOW ...

now no sound in both IE and chrome.

are you kidding me ?

you've made this worse. now i can't watch any internet videos at all.

nicely done !

UPDATE: ok, i found an old version of firebox on my PC. it prompted me to install version 10.3 r183. and i have sound. please, don't break this one on your next update. even better, fix this problem. a week later and still no fix. seriously ? 

UPDATE: ok, some sites wouldn't work with 10.3 on firefox. so i had to begrudgingly upgraded to 11.3. and yes, now no audio on firefox. spectacular ! so audio on flash video completely gone now.

UPDATE: sound is back.

1. closed all chrome browsers.

2. ran uninstaller : http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/support/uninsta ll_flash_player.exe

3. went here for previous version :

4. downloaded

Flash Player 11.2.202.233 :

http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp _11.2.202.233_archive.zip

so thanks for the memories dev team. what the hell happened on this release ? don't think i'll be upgrading to next version for a loooooooooooooong time !!

Uninstalling Flash via the Control Panel, then installing the archived version as pAthriva1 suggested (http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp _11.2.202.233_archive.zip) worked for me as well.  Thanks for the tip!!  The file I ran was flashplayer11_2r202_233_win_64bit.exe. 

I have Win7 64-bit, so choose the right file for your operating system.  Make sure to select "Notify me about updates" instead of "Automatically install updates" when it prompts you.

What a colossal bug! How did this ever make it out to the field??

Oops. My original post had more information but I clicked a link from this page (I forget which) and it deleted my entire comment, so I had to rewrite it.

What I meant to add is, changing my default device from my VIA high def. audio speakers to my USB headset did NOT fix the problem.  This indicates that the bug is not audio codec specific (such as to VIA, RealTek, Creative, etc.), since the USB headset has its own set of audio drivers.  Add your Creative problem and the list of hw codecs that experience this issue is suspiciously large.  No, it is an operating system level bug.

I have uninstalled the sound card and completely reinstalled flash player to test on the motherboards onboard sound, and the problem persists.  This may rule out the sound card.
