No Audio for Flash Videos in Any Browser

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit with Service Pack 1 which is a 64-bit OS.
I can play videos in all browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome, and Opera) but do not hear any audio that use Flash.
Videos that use Apple's Quicktime work perfectly with audio in all 4 of these browsers!
If I download the Flash video to my hard drive and play it, the audio works fine.
I can play music on my desktop and all other sound works fine.
It is not my hardware; audio works fine.
This is the Flash Player that I have installed:
Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX 64-bit Version 11.1.102.62
Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin 64-bit Version 11.1.102.63
In the Control Panel – System and Security, there is an icon called “Flash Player 32-bit”. I thought I had installed the 64-bit version. Is this simply misnamed or a clue to the root cause of the problem?
The problem is with Adobe's Flash Player.
Audio was okay when playing a video in any browser.
I recently installed a suggested update, and then no audio!
This has happened several times in the past.
I have no audio until the next update, and then it works.
Next update, it is broken again.
It's the Adobe installation.
My recent attempt to fix this problem:
Uninstalled Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX 64-bit Version 11.1.102.62
Uninstalled Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin 64-bit Version 11.1.102.63
Downloaded the latest Flash Player from Adobe
Reinstalled the Flash Player
Rebooted
Tried to run videos in IE8. No Audio!
Tried to run videos in Firefox. No Audio!
The solution offered in http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html is poorly organized and poorly written such that it is painful to follow the steps. It is basically a 21-page run-on sentence. Most importantly, it attempts to solve the problem by browser. I don't believe that this is a browser-specific issue.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem that actually works? Lot's of people have offered solutions on forums all over the Internet from the "turn on your speakers" to "edit the registry...". I have not found one solution that works. I have spent hours scouring the Internet and various forums for a solution to this problem. There are thousands of people trying to solve it. What is the solution?

Carl,
This worked for all browsers! It was really easy to do as the instructions were clear and succinct. The files that I downloaded for the installation were:
     install_flash_player_11_active_x_64bit
     install_flash_player_11_plugin_64bit
I referred to the wrong page in error in my original post. I was looking at this page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html
The above page led me to download and install the following file:
     install_flashplayer11x64_mssd_aih
Not sure what this file is or if it was part of the problem. Thoughts?
Thank-you so much for resolving this issue for me. Much appreciated!

Can't see any videos in any browser

I am having this issue for over a month or two now, i can't play any videos on any browser, i tried firefox, then IE , then chrome, i re-installed all of them, updated flash, updated real player, downgraded flash , cleared browsing history,disable hardware acceleration, everything that i could do, but didnt get the issue solved, whenever i open a video on youtube or even dailymotion, the browser would start browsing but then everything would stop and i'd see a black screen , and when i right click on the video , instead of the usual drop down menu of flash... i get other menu with options like " inspect element" , "save" e.tc. please anyone could help ??? btw i have windows x.p , FF 17.0.1, flash 11.5 updated java, installed real player and updated it too ...,,

I have been having the same problem for several months. I have tried everything that I could find on the Iternet to no avail. The only thing that works is rebooting my computer. This works for an hour or so and then the problem returns.

Dear All, I can't play flash videos from any web site through firefox because it freezes but when i run firefox as administrator then it works fine (But Google Chrome Plays all videos normally.) . I am using Windows 7 & Firefox 7.0.1. Please help

Dear All,
Firefox hangs when i try to play flash videos from any site but when i run firefox as administrator it works fine. (but Google Chrome, Opera & I.E9 Plays videos without running as administrator.) I am using Windows 7 & Firefox 7.0.1. Please help.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Best export for flash video

I have completed an edit of a 7 minute teaser for a feature film and need to export it to be displayed online in a flash player. The footage is HD 1080i, 29.97fps and edited in the Animation coded. My experience with best exports for flash conversion is very limited so please bare with with.
1) Is it possible to export directly from FCP to a flash file? If yes, would that be a good idea, or should I use third party softwares for better results?
2) Which third party softwares are recommended for flash conversion? And what export compression should I use in FCP for best flash conversion results?
3) Any other tips and tricks to get the best quality for flash video display?
Any help would obviously be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

When I have quality HD video that I want to export for flash, I compress it with h.264 codec. Then, with the new version of Flash, you can swap out the .mp4 extension for .f4v and your good to go in Flash. Quality looks pretty good at a fraction of the file size.

Compressing for flash video setting

Anyone out there building content for flash video? I have a client who is shooting all their footage on a sony HD cam. All footage comes to me as 1080i60. They have requested all content be converted or embedded into flash at a 400X300 canvas size.
I have tried some differant setting but most comes up somewhat pixilated. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Maybe this is helpful: Flash 8 Pro comes with a Flash 8 Video Encoder. It automatically converts Quicktime files into a .flv flash video file WITH a .swf AND a playback skin.
The cool thing about this is how Flash then plays this back as a "progressive download," therefore less waiting time for it to start playback and smoother playback and very nice quality.
I have a sample of this at size 540x400, larger than I have made in the past with other programs, just to see how it would look. I'm still playing with the dimensions. Thinking of making it smaller, actually; but the quality really holds up, I thought. http://web.mac.com/bfkproductions/HomeOne/PowWowSample.html

TV Shows from Music Store have no audio for me...any fixes?

TV Shows from Music Store have no audio for me...any fixes? I can't figure it out at all. And now that I check, things I encoded that used to work are also muted out. Hmmm...
EDIT: Ok, it has to be iTunes. They play on my iPod just fine...

My iPod mini, 4gb is hard to get serviced obviously because they dont make them anymore
It is as simple to get it serviced as the day you purchased it.
How is it hard to get it serviced?
How long have you had your iPod?
i get maybe 4-5 hours of battery life, maybe even 6 if im lucky
That is not good but it's not "terrible".
If you've had it less than a year, send it back to Apple to replace the battery.
thought that i might buy an attachment type accesorie that i plug into the usb port on my ipod
It's called a dock connector, not a USB port.
i found a product in the online store, that i guess you place the ipod mini on, and it gives you up to 20 or so more hours of time but then it says that you have to have a firewire port or cable?
What is it? The firewire port is on the computer, not the iPod.
If the original battery is going bad, the first thing to do is get that sorted out.

Recording audio from Flash video

I'm not sure if this is in the correct section, but . . .
I would like to know how to record only the audio from Flash video. Specifically, there's a website my daughter loves which has Flash movies showing little animations with children's songs. I'd like to be able to get just the audio from those songs onto my MacBook so we don't have to go online to listen to them every time.
Thanks.

Vers strange and i dont know why, but creating an .asoundrc solved that.
That is very mysterious because it worked before without one.... but nvmd

Imovie is limited to its import formats and does not allow for storing video in any rawformat. Which means all videos will contain lossy compression applied to the video-.with no way to edit full format video. Is this statement true?

Imovie is limited to its import formats and does not allow for storing video in any rawformat. Which means all videos will contain lossy compression applied to the video….with no way to edit full format video. Is this statement true? Does iMovie support HD 1080p @ 60 fps?

yes and no!
using the intended Import from Camera routines, iM converts automatically in its very own AppleIntermediateCodec. so, answer is yes.
but …
a) Apple claims , aic is non-lossy intermediate codec. working with proRes in FCPX taught me, there are even less non-lossy-ness codecs
b) iM offers an Archive feature, which is basically a simple Finder/copy operation which 'clones' your SDcards content into some folder on your harddrive; e.g. you can later use these untouched 'raws' in another editor such as FCPX. so, answer is no.
c) when you 'override' the import routines by manually re-wrapping mts into a mov container, iM handles the 'native' h264s ... so, answer is no.
d) adding any effect, transition etc. reduces any interlaced source to 540p. (if you're working with 720p source, res is kept) … so, answer is yes. or, in 720p case, no.
< Johnny Depp's voice >… savvy?
Does iMovie support HD 1080p @ 60 fps?
via Import from Camera? No.
via re-wrapped mts>>mov? I was told yes, some say no.
one thing to be kept in mind when talking about these 'issues':
iM, this 12€, is meant as a CONSUMER toy tool.
it supports AVCHD vers1 (=no 1080/60p, no >24Mbps, no 3D).
fingers crossed, we'll see soon some iM/QT/FCPX update for support of AVCHD v2 ........
the main consumer devices are within the specs, iM supports.
using professional equipments makes usage of professional software (FCPX, AP) optional.
sorry for lengthy answer.

Firefox will not load any flash video, on any website.

Hello, just recently firefox decided to stop loading flash video.
Eg. Youtube, metacafe, etc.
I tired uninstalling flash and reinstalling it, uninstalling firefox and reinstalling it, ive also tried scanning for viruses, and nothing has worked. Sometimes it will load the advertisement for youtube videos but thats it, after that it just stays black and the controls for the player still work as normal, but there is no video or audio.
I've tried to install a different browser to see if that would make a difference and it did, i can view flash videos on chrome but the moment i go back to firefox, videos dont work anymore.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

My computer does not load flash contents in any browser (firefox, chrome, explorer)

Hallo,
The problem is, i cant watch videos on my pc anymore on any website. There is only a white, grey or black box ( color depends on the website), where the video should be. If i swipe over it or click on it my mouse begins to shutter and the browser freezes for some secconds. i cant even right-click it to change my flash player settings.
I use the latest version of the adobe flash player and have tried re-installed it many times. The important plugins are activated, too. The problem appeared suddenly or i cant remember what could have caused it. I am out of ideas. If anyone could help me, i would be so happy.
( My system is Windows 7 64 bit)
Lukas

Did your problem get fixed?
If not, you should provide much more details where someone then may jump in.
Otherwise, there are many ways to go about this, such as, using an uninstaller to rid of any and all versions of Flash and then a fresh install of Flash. Reset the browser(s)? Delete all Cookies? Clear Cache? Did you recently install or uninstall a program that my have caused this problem? A video or graphic file problem? Hardware failure? Weak or failing Power Supply? Inside of computer super dusty? Overclocking?
I could go on... Perhaps someone will jump-in once you fill-in more details/specs of your system and setup.

How to create a relative path for Flash video on a CDROM

Hello - I need to distribute a web site to a client on a
cross-platform Hybrid CDROM so that they can edit and make
adjustments. This website also includes 2 flash videos that need to
be included on the CDROM.
My problem is this: I encoded the video in the Flash Encoder
app and brought them into the main Flash app for conversion into
swf files. I also used the media controller parameter to add a
control skin to the movies. I now have 2 swf files associated with
the flv video file, and I understand that all 3 of these must stay
together for the video to work properly. The video plays correctly
along with the controller skin on my Mac however only the
controller shows up but no video on the CDROM. I believe that this
has something to do with absolute vs. relative file paths for the
video flv file to the swf controller file.
I do not know how to change this path - I know "where" to
change it within the controller parameter options box but do not
know what syntax exactly to place here. How do you specify a
relative path here? When I try to do it I get an error saying that
the flv file cannot be found.
I am trying to use the following syntax: /video/welding.flv
where video is the name of the folder and welding is the name of
the file. I have done numerous Google searches on this subject and
stil cannot find an answer, so any help is appreciated.

OK - I assigned the FLVPlayback component the instance name
of videoPlayer to keep it simple. And I copied the above code into
an Actions - Frame on Frame 1. FYI - The name of the video has been
changed from welding to Timet Sponge.
Now I get the following error messages:
**Error** Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 1, Line 1: 1119:
