Over the past several weeks I have experienced intermittent audio issues playing Flash content in Firefox 3. I’m running 32-bit Vista Enterprise SP1 and have tried all the usual “suspects”…reinstalled Firefox; updated/reinstalled the Shockwave Flash plugin; checked permissions on some of my site/script blocking add-ons, but the loss of audio remained intermittent. Then I did an online search for this issue and some people recommended going to Tools –> Add-ons –> Plugins and disabling, then enabling the plugin itself. This seemed to work momentarily, but days later (especially after updating the plugin to the latest version) problems came back. As you can imagine, this was getting annoying.
At that point, I decided to look at the OS side of sound control (don’t ask why I didn’t do this first) and found that for some crazy reason Firefox was muted in the Vista volume mixer. I turned the volume up and it’s been working ever since. I can’t believe that the problem was caused by something so simple which I should have looked at initially.
