Audio in Firefox keeps failing

This is weird. System Sounds in Windows 7 work fine. Playing mP3's or mp4's outside of the browser works fine.

SOMETIMES playing audio within the browser works fine, but SOMETIMES it won't. Video plays (without sound) no problem.

I have swept cache and cookies Reinstalled, refreshed and restarted Removed and reinstalled adobe flash I thought it was solved. But WRONG.

I found a registry edit that worked ONCE. But nothing has yet been a permanent fix. I power the PC down and it comes back with exactly the same browser configuration as previous, except now it's mute, and nothing brings the sound back.

My only 'fix' has been to find another browser. It's all very odd. Any heavy hitters want to wade in? Thanks kindly in advance.

When you reinstalled firefox did you also delete Mozilla folder before reinstalling?

Are there any media related messages in the Web Console when this happens?

This looks like a report from the SUMO website. You can check the Web Console on a page where you have audio problems.

Hi Cor-el: As inexplicable as loss of audio was, it is equally inexplicably back again for the moment. I have no idea what if anything is different. Will retry with the console as and when the problem reoccurs. No known updates/changes have occurred.
