I can't hear flash sounds from the net!!! | Thread profile

Ok ok ok, today I noticed that when I play flash movies from the net, no sound comes out. This probably is the same if I made a flash and added a sound, but I don't know since I don't use macromedia flash...yet. But like when I go to Newgrounds and play a flash, no sound comes out. Now the only thing new that changed in my comp is that I installed Adobe Illustrator CS. It said I needed ...

Try re-installing flash player.

Flash player? I didn't even know I had one =S Where do I find the flash player in my computer? Like estimately whereabouts? And what if I don't have one?

Flash player is a plugin & can be downloaded here: http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave...=ShockwaveFl ash

Thanks. But I just downloaded and installed Flash Player 8, Shockwave player, I updated my windows and then restarted my computer and still nothing. Then I asked my bro and he said that after installing Adobe Illustrator, he too had the same problem. So it's obvious that it must be Adobe Illustrator as the culprit. But I uninstalled it and I still couldn't hear flash sounds. Plus when I ...

Have you tried installing flash after you un-installed Illustrator?

I'm not sure how that would help, I mean if I installed a new version of a programme, wouldn't that sort of "overlap" other files and such? But I will try. But how do you reinstall a flash player that you get straight from net?

You should get two options, if I remember correctly. One is to install over the internet & the other is to download the executable. Either will do. If you install flash over the top of itself, it should repair any damaged or missing files that Illustrator may have removed.

Hmm...well considering I was able to hear the sounds from flash players on the net before, it must mean I have Flash player before right? Then since I just downloaded and installed the newest Flash player, wouldn't that "repair" any files that were corrupted or missing like you said? That's why I was confused... But thanks for helping me so far...I'll try asking my friend who is a comp wiz =)

Yes you would have had flash player, but installing the latest version or re-installing will over write corrupted files. I assume that you can hear sounds that are not played through flash player?
