have you got a specific site where this happens? If so,
how about providing a link or two.
And what is the "floating FF toolbar?"

OK, let's start with some simple tests.
Test 1. Try these two web pages
1a http://www.houndsofheaven.com/baner.htm
1b http://www.wtv-zone.com/bluefox/bgsound.html
Do you hear music playing?
(Note: the music doesn't repeat after it gets to the end, so don't go out
for a long cup of coffee while the page loads.)
If you hear sound, then you already have a plug-in for sound files.
Go on to test #2.
����������������������������������������������������������������������
If you do not hear sound, then you may need to install and configure
a browser plug-in for playing sound files.
Plug-ins can be downloaded from
(a) http://plugins.netscape.com/ (for sound, the choices are
QuickTime or RealPlayer).
(b) http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/windows.html
(for sound, the choices are QuickTime, RealPlayer, or
Windows Media Player).
����������������������������������������������������������������������
2. Try these two web pages
2a http://www.rocketcitychorus.com/Chorus.html
2b http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/script2/backmusic.shtml
Do you hear music playing?
����������������������������������������������������������������������
If you hear sound in 1a and 1b, but not in 2a or 2b, then you need
to turn on Javascript in Firefox.
Tools -> Options -> Content
[x] Enable JavaScript
����������������������������������������������������������������������
3. If you hear sound in both test 1 and test 2 but you still don't
hear sound on some websites, can you please post a link.

Both links play in IE, the first asked me to download quicktime in FF, after
I installed it and reloaded the page NO sound. The second link asked for a
missing plug in too. This time I installed realplayer in FF still NO sound.

NO sound in any websites. I've tried FF3 and FF2 with no difference. I've
uninstalled FF and all Flash and reinstalled
Hope there is something else I can do to fix it. Seems something in Vista
is blocking FF maybe? The volume mixer does show FF floating Tool bar and
the slider is in the middle and the speaker icon is not muted. All other
sounds apps play just fine except for FF.
Thank you for your help.

restarted and when it was detected and reinstalled I now get sound in FF.
I'm not sure why this happened but it works now. Thanks again for
everyone's help.
