Soundcloud doesn't work since I installed Win8

When I was still on Windows 7 64bit, soundcloud worked perfectly.

Ever since I installed Windows 8, the new soundcloud version hasn't been working properly. Tracks start loading but they don't want to play.

I have tried removing adblock and reinstalling flashplayer and it still doesn't play.

The classic version seems to be working fine though ( All embedded soundcloud links use the new version, so using it doesn't really help )

A previous solution to this was to disable the gfx.content.azure.enabled pref and re-enabled hardware acceleration.

Ok, try this " please add soundcloud.com to the exceptions list in the plugin settings." Reference http://help.soundcloud.com/customer/p.../243850-sounds-won-t-play-what-can-i-do-

or

Open up the Volume settings on the Taskbar and make sure either Flash or Firefox isn't muted.

I removed adblock from the browser completely, even after putting it on exceptions it still doesn't work
