Webuser Forums: No Sound in SWF files

Just a quick shout to left folks know. You might need this someday?

I had a problem with swf files not playing the sound back. Mp3's played fine and my control panel settings were ok too.

After searching the net I though I'd share the fix. Somehow my registry had become corrupt, I suspect an uninstaller that I'd been meddling with.

The problem is the mapping of wavemapper in Windows registry.

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.

An annoying problem fixed with a 2 minute fix!
