I have lost audio on one of my favorite streaming audio sites. www.atcmonitor.com. 
On one computer (work)and my laptop, the embedded media player starts, seems to buffer 
and play (continues receiving feed/packets). But there is no sound. If I copy out 
the feed location (mms:whatever) and open directly in a stand alone media player 
11 session, I get sound on the desktop (but not laptop), indicating it is not blocked 
by the network at work. This has started in the last couple of weeks. 

I get audio with no problem on my home desktop, even in Firefox, which is not supposed 
to work with that site. 

I suspect a driver issue or windows update conflict, but I haven't found it yet or 
figured out what else changed. I have tried the suggestions on the website (license, 
etc). No yellow hardware flags.

Any other things I should suspect? I must be missing something obvious. 
Oh yea, embedded sound works on things like youtube (flash) and www.flightlevel350.com 
(wmv files), and radio station feeds.

Some specs. 
motherboard Epox 8kmm3i
via chipset running AC97 sound (yes, tried updated drivers)

Thanks for any ideas.

Then try to play another wmv file to be sure that it is related. If after trying a second one and you still have no audio then the solution lies in the registry. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\ NodeCLSIDs\{95037DA1-6ED9-4B27-8CFF-9AD3DFB0B2F2}] And I had to change the AutoInsert value from 1 to 0... "AutoInsert"=dword:00000000 Before the fix it was "AutoInsert"=dword:00000001 Hope this helps.

Even works in firefox again. Now if I could just figure out why I get this popup in IE7. "Do you want to allow software such as activex and plug-ins to run?" I tried playing around with the security settings, but can't get rid of it. Oh well, I use Firefox most of the time anyway.
