This is information for users suffering no audio in a room that has audio.

Please read these steps carefully and do them in the right order too.


1. have you made sure the speakers and sound card is giving you audio in any other program ?
Example, windows media player or itunes etc that you can play music or video with audio ?


2. have you made sure you have clicked the un-mute option in the video area ? and there is no red cross threw the speaker icon ? If you don't know where this option is, run your mouse over the performers video and bring it down near the VS logo, you should see a option area rise up, here you can mute the audio or un-mute it.


3. Have you tried any other internet browser ? like firefox or Internet explorer ? and made sure you see the same problem ? If not try installing the latest firefox and internet explorer.

www.mozilla.com/firefox/


www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/



4. Do you find going to youtube or any other site with flash based content and you always get no audio ? if so read section 4a..


4a. Have you reinstalled flash player to make sure it is installed correctly ? if not got to

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/


and reinstall flash.


If this fails and still no audio in rooms go to section 4b.




4b. You will need to make a registry file to correct how the audio devices are associated to the right devices.

you will need to open notepad (notepad is normally in the Start Menu > Programs > Accessories > Notepad. ( if you can't find notepad, do the following Start Menu > Run and type notepad.exe and click ok, that will open notepad)


now you will need to copy and paste this information into the notepad or you can download this file created by me from one of the links here. A word of warning when I post this information the forums may alter some of it and the file will not run. So please use one of the links I provide under here to be safe. Rapidshare allows only 10 downloads of each of these links so if they all fail let me know please I will re-add the file to rapideshare.

Now you have copied this into notepad (Make sure you include the Windows Regestry Editor Version 5.00 line) , save the file as audiofix.reg to your desktop or anywhere you can find it.

Now all you need to do is run the file by double clicking it and it will ask are you sure you want to add this to the registery, say YES. Now go restart the pc and see if this fixed the problem.

If this fails go to section 4c.



4c. You can try reinstalling the codecs ..


www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/AllDownloads.aspx



Select from their list there Codecs Installation Packages


and download and install all that it lists under..


then to make sure you have everything microsoft has this link too


http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=06fcaab7-dcc9-466b-b0c4-04db144bb601&di splaylang=en


download and install that too and restart the pc.

If that fails too.. goto section 4d.

4d. Try find out what make and model of sound card you have and get the new drivers for it from the makers site. If a laptop you will need to go to the makers support section and find your laptop by model number or tag number and find the drivers for it and reinstall.




If a desktop that was ready built by lets say Dell or Sony do same as above. If the pc was specially built or a home build find the sound cards support site and update the drivers.



If still having a problem leave a comment in your reply and the type off sound card you have and the version of windows and flash player you haveand the browsers you have tried .

Adds another thing to check -- If your speakers are powered - check to see that they are plugged in to a live power supply and switched on,

Or if your keyboard has media keys double check that you have not hit the mute button, this can easily be checked by moving the mouse pointer to the start bar and looking in the bottom right at the notification area where the date and time is shown - IF the speaker there has a red circle then you have hit mute Quote

Or as a computer repair man once told me...make sure you have speakers first and if you do, are they plugged in to the right plug, not the toaster? Quote

a good set of headfones work better than speakers ... but watch u'r ears if u go to a room with loud audio output. i've used headfones all the time and in some rooms i hear audio that no one else does.
1 model played the same song on repeat nearly the whole shift and i heard it but no one else did.
also no other person in the room can hear unless they're 1 foot away in which case u been busted anyway lol. Quote

*bump* Just for users that may have missed this topic and how to fix the problem. Quote

I find a 5.1 speaker setup works well also for picking up small sounds
