When I select a (BBC) radio program, tv program, play a sample track from an Amazon CD, or a YouTube clip I get no sound . . . yet I get sound with IE, Chrome, and Safari, and also BBC iPlayer. I also get sound from stored tracks on my Windows Media player.

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

See What to do if Firefox won't play any sounds and Fix common audio and video issues

You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.
You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window, so make sure that Firefox is not muted or set at a low level.
You will only see the Firefox program in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.

You can also try to clear the Flash cookies (LSO)

Many thanks - fixed it in one ! I wonder how I turned the Firefox sound off, but this certainly got it back on again

I tried all of these things... Updating Flash, clearing the Flash cookies, clearing the cache, updating Firefox... and I still have no sound in Firefox. Nothing is muted via Flash when I'm on websites like YouTube and Tumblr. I'm using Windows XP, and everything else seems fine. Sound works in other programs like VLC Player and iTunes, so I'm not sure what's going on.

Help, please? I'm usually the one in my family that can actually fix this kind of thing, so I'm feeling pretty frustrated.
