    My sound works in IE and everything off the internet, but for some reason I get no sound in Firefox. Does anyone know what could be causing this? Thanks in advance for the help.

    How you are determining that firefox can not play sounds? It could be a compatibility error if its a site or it could be a problem with a plug-in(or that plug-in is not installed).

    Also make sure you have the latest version of firefox.

    If you are using vista, make sure you dont have the firefox volume bar on mute.

    Agreed, in Vista, each app that can produce sound has their own volume slider.

    You need to have the correct plug-in installed. If a plug-in isn't installed, you'll normally see a puzzle piece icon and Firefox will show a yellow bar telling you that you need to install the plug-in.
