Sound doesnt work through flash players on IE, firefox, other web browsers... how can i fix this pro

this has been a problem for a couple months now, and i have no idea exactly what the problem is.

on websites such as youtube.com, music on myspace, purevolume, etc..., i cant hear anything, unless i turn my speakers up to its loudest potential, and from that point, i can barely hear anything at all. but if i use a media player such as windows media player or itunes, i can hear perfectly fine.

i made sure that the volume settings on youtube werent muted or low, and same with volume control. i downloaded codec packs to put all my media and IE settings back to default, but that didnt do anything. my speakers work perfectly fine by the way.

any solutions?

This is a longshot but it may be an explanation

- Maybe you have too many codecpacks installed and they're conflicting with one another or that you have too many browsers or media players installed and they're all conflicting with one another. FIX: uninstall all your players, browsers, and codecs, then install them one by one till you get to find a combination that works. TIP: Install Firefox first, the latest versions of the universal codecs packs and then WMP OR iTUNES. Point is to remove all the clutter and then installing only the newest versions of these apps.
