I just bought a new Acer netbook with XP Home. Everything works great, but there is no sound when using the internet. The website volume controls make no difference. Youtube, online radio, etc. No sound. The Volume Control Panel has all sliders up and shows normal.

If I use my external CD drive, DVDs, Mediaplayer, Skype, then the sound works great.

I don't know what to do. Could the sound card be defective, or is it a simple setup problem? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Flash and shockwave player installed?

I had similar prob with my MsI Wind.

Solved it by pressing one of the top row buttons.... F?

No manual for the MSI

I had the same in google chrome before. I'm 100% sure it was a flash problem, so I re-installed flash - didn't work, re-installed chrome - didn't work either. I ended up having no sound with flash in Chrome until next time I re-installed Windows.

Which browser are you using? Try installing/re-installing the flash plugin for that browser and see if it makes any difference.

No Sound and Audio in Windows
