Here's the solution to your problem:

Copy this text into notepad (starting with Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00) and save it to your desktop using the name "missing.reg":

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32]

After saving the file, go to START > RUN > and type 'regedit' and then click OK
In the registry, select FILE > IMPORT and select the "missing.reg" file from your desktop
You should get a confirmation that it was imported successfully.

This is an instant fix ... your speakers should now work for web sounds, no reboot required.

I've gone about 6months with this same issue with no luck. I tried your fix and it worked as you said.
THANKS A GREAT DEAL! I cannot tell you how many bulletin boards i've searched to try to fix it.

You did it!!!!!

dr_spine - Jan 2, 2009 10:13PM

I had the same problem and here's what worked...perfectly

the file msacm32.drv must be in your windows\system32 directory....either expand it from your windows CD (in the I386 directory) or find it somewhere on the net. I even had an issue with the volume icon on the taskbar and it fixed that too.

good luck

amy - Jan 3, 2009 04:54PM

You are the best allie I was going to be charged $200.00 to fix that problem I had it for months thank you so much.

I tried everything from re-installing IE, ActiveX control, enabling-disabling various options but nothing worked!

THANKYOU ALLIE!

The problem I was having is all widows sounds stopped and sound from internet explorer. Windows media player works and a radio gadget works but normal windows sounds don't.

Cliff - Jun 21, 2009 06:13PM

I had a similar problem with a Dell Latitude D420 laptop - I could get sound prior to Windows loading by using the Dell Diagnostic Utility CD and could get sound through Windows Media Player but no sound playing videos on the internet, no system sounds (for clicks, etc). Went round and round with Dell tech support - they actually set up a service call to have someone come out and replace my motherboard! Uninstalled/reinstalled Sigmatel drivers, etc. Your solution worked instantaneously! Thank you!

danielle21 - Jun 26, 2009 01:13AM

i did everything you told me to do and i confirmed but still nothing but in the registry window or whatever it is called after i did it it erased everthing except the windows default and the data says there in no set value does that have something to do with my sound problems

Dizzao - Jul 1, 2009 07:20PM

Allie, all I can say is that you are a life saver! I tried almost everything and nothing worked. I have been very upset because I couldn't figure out what was wrong with my computer.

I did notice the Drivers32 entry missing from the registry, but had no idea how to restore it. I did your process wiht the missing.reg file. It restored the entry, but still no sound. Do I need a new card? This one is integrated with my HP.

Thanks, Ken

Bertsky - Aug 7, 2009 08:48PM

ALLIE IS MY HERO. I've been working on this for 3 days now, and have gone through 3 regedit suggestion before yours. I've updated, uninstalled, and reinstalled hardware, drivers, programs, dll's, and about every other kind, restarted my pc probably 30-40 times, and have slammed my keyboard, and even punched my tower a couple times. I honestly feel like writing you poetry, or feeding you grapes while fanning you with a palm leaf. Allie, if you ever need anything- a favor, a husband, bail money, Anything!, you call up Bertsky, k? I love you baby, thanks a million. Now,...... I'm off to youtube some Beatles and Neg's Urban Sports

Jeyado - Aug 23, 2009 11:53AM

hey Allie

thanks a lot for ur suggestion it worked even without a reboot :D....

lexx - Sep 29, 2009 04:32AM

thanks man

Barrel Roller - Sep 29, 2009 07:41AM

Allie,

It WORKED!

It took two days. That's right. I tried. I rebooted. I gave up. Then two days later, after two additional tries to import, it worked!

I'd just gone througha MAJOR clean up of malware and I lost my sound. I checked every setting at least three times. When I rolled back my driver, I got sound through my CD, DVD, etc. -- all INTERNAL sources. I googled the problem, found Allie's post, tried it three times and, after two days, it worked. NOw I have sound from the Internet.

I know it was this advice b/c I'd gone into my Registry to the address that Allie provides in brackerts, and found my "Drivers32" key empty. Now it has a sub-key filled with the info Allie provided.

Hey, I don't know how, but it worked for me.

Thanks Allie

Barrel Roller - Sep 29, 2009 09:24AM

Allie's recommendation worked for me; just don't be impatient.

I'd just undergone a rather involved clean up of malware. My sound disappeared, along with the sound icon on my tool bar.

I rolled back my sound driver and my sound returned, except for that from the Internet (can't live w/o YouTube).

I googled, found Allie's advice and tried it: NOTHING! ARGH!!

I looked in my registry and found my "Drivers32" key empty. Why wouldn't it import?

I gave up.

Two days later I turned on the beast, hit a video link just to torture my self with silence and BINGO: SOUND!

Good things come to those who wait.

seth - Sep 30, 2009 02:41PM

so i did all that stuff but at teh end of downloading the missing.reg it says Error cannot complete because some keys are open by the system or processes O.o whats that mean and how do i fix it?

berta - Oct 10, 2009 02:15PM

Thank you so much. It did really work. My son and I just did it. We haven't had sound for weeks. We called Gateway and they couldn't help and wanted to charge me $55.00 a 1/2 hour to help me.

Thanks so much!!!

Reg - Oct 13, 2009 11:04AM

Hi Allie,

Not sure what are you, a guru, a upper spirit from above or what but your fix worked for me right away!!

Thanks so much!

Quan - Oct 14, 2009 03:33PM

What is the missing.reg file I went threw your steps but when it came to that particular part it said that file doesnt exist when I typed it up, can you let me know asap I really need sound to my internet.

tony - Oct 23, 2009 07:14AM

Hi,
I have a Dell Latitude D600 laptop running Windows XP & Internet Explorer 8. It plays sounds OK on CDs & MP3 files but recently has stopped playing System Sounds or internet streamed sounds (does play videos). In Sounds Device Manager the Play button is greyed out. I have got a Mac created streamed file to play sound having installed Quick Time Player. Any suggestions on regaining all streamed & System sounds?

Hi I tried this, even turned my computer off and restarted and tried again, it says it is invalid key. The only thing I can think of is something happened to my computer and now it says it does not have a genuine copy of windows on it. Anything I can do about this short of having to buy a copy of windows.

XenBuddhist - Jan 16, 2010 10:04AM

Incredible! Made a windows sound immediately confirming it worked. Thank you from the deepest wells of my being.

Amber - Feb 24, 2010 05:04AM

Allie - thank you soooo much! I had been checking everything I could - sound cards, internet, speakers and nothing would fix the problem. I've literally just put up with the problem for the last year - but I just did what you said and WA-LA! It worked!! No need to reboot or anything, it was immediate. Thank you - off to You-Tube now :)

i tried it and i am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy it worked thank you Allie , i love u mwah

saturnine - Mar 4, 2010 07:58AM

Allie, it worked like a charm ! . I had just formated my C drive, and everything was fine, untill i wanted to see a clip of a man with an amazing voice, and it was muted. So i thought it was a joke, like he was just pretending to play, but other people said it is amazing, so it got me wondering, are they being ironic? So i tried soemthing where there was definetly sound, and i could not hear anything . I tried your method, and thank you !

Anky - Mar 8, 2010 12:34PM

Thank you Allie....u r seriously a life saver!!!!

Dstone - Mar 8, 2010 10:54PM

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit, I got the no internet sound problem last week, I found this thread and tried Allie's solution but it didn't work.

I ran regedit and went to the address listed in Allies post:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32

The Drivers32 key was empty, so I deleted it and imported the missing.reg file again and this time it worked.

So if Allie's solution doesn't work at first, just delete the Drivers32 key and import Allies solution again and it should work.

It should also work with Vista.

Thank You Allie :)

Nate - Mar 22, 2010 11:42AM

Dude your the man ! I tried Allie's suggestion but didnt work then thought i would just have a look at the comments & read yours. Its true guys if the fix doesn't work try deleting the drivers 32 (if empty) & then importing the missing.reg file.

Thanks Allie & Dstone

P.s: Mine was a Vista Home Premium version

Hi I verified that I have the msacm32.drv file in my system32 folder. I copied the missing file as you indicated including the first line. When I try to import it into the registry, it says it cannot do it because the "specified file is not a registry script". I expect I am doing something wrong but I don't know what it is. Any help would be appreciated.

RussHanson 3Posts Monday October 22, 2012Registration date October 24, 2012Last seen - Oct 24, 2012 12:27PM

Hi ! Turns out my problem was not related to the registry at all. After much digging, I discovered that my browser (IE) requires Adobe flash Player ActiveX. The Adobe Flash Player Plugin is required for such browsers as Firefox or Opera.. I downloaded and installed the ActiveX version and now I have Youtube audio..

ive been there and done everything to fix the sound in my internet...in youtube for example...Im not sure if this one will help you but ive tried it and worked for me....First thing you'll do...Open CONTROL PANEL. SOUND,SPEECH AND AUDIO DEVICE. And click Adjust the system volume...In VOLUME if you can see NO AUDIO DEVICE...Click VOLUME...AND change the Default device name...for example Moden #0 line Playback is in there change it to Realtek AC97 Audio ( im using windows xp) or you audio device...change also the Sound recording to Realtek AC97 Audio and click Apply...and thats it...open a video try if it has a sound...I hope I've helped

The below is an accumulation of two fixes that work and some clarifications that may be useful for some. hope it woiks.

1. do search for msacm32.drv in Windows folder
2. ensure that the above file (msacm32.drv) is at least in your Windows\Sysytem32 folder. If it is go to step #9
3. If it isn't, but there is a copy somewhere else...copy it to the Windows\system32 folder.
4. if it's not in \windows at all, do a search of My Computer. If you find it, copy it to your Windows\system32 folder.
5. if you can't find it anywhere, go to another computer with Windows XP installed on it...and search>copy to floppy or usb or cd or dvd>then copy it to your computer.
6. if you don't know anyone that has a computer with XP on it, you can get it from your installation cd. Google how you do that.

7. test out for sound on internet...utube is a good place to test with.
8. If msacm32.drv was in your Windows\32 folder (or you put it there) and still no joy...read on
9. right click and >copy< the text below. NOTE: COPY FROM the word Windows below all the way to "aux3"="wdmaud.drv". Include from the word Windows to "aux3"="wdmaud.drv" in your copy. In other words, copy everything (change nothing) starting after the big space below this sentence and all the way to "aux3"="wdmaud.drv".

If you've copied this too, you've gone too far

10. Open a new notepad document (or use any regular word processor).
11. right click and choose paste. You should now see what you copied from above.
12. Go to File, choose save as. Save as "missing.reg" to your desktop (or anywhere you like, it's easiest to find on the desktop is all).
13. NOTE********VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.

YOU MUST INCLUDE THE QUOTATION MARKS RIGHT IN THE NAME OR IT WON'T BE IDENTIFIED AS A REG FILE. IT MAY LOOK AS THOUGH I'VE JUST USED THE QUOTES FOR EFFECT, BUT YOU MUST TYPE THEM WHEN YOU TYPE THE NAME INTO THE FILENAME BOX.

14. Navigate to your desktop and double click on the new missing.reg file. A dialogue box should come up askinf if you are sure...Yada Yada.

15. choose Yes or OK or whatever.
16. If you get confirmation that the values were added to the registry....go test out on Utube again.

Hi,

Finally all working!

I tried the wavemapper stuff - didn't work
I tried the huge registry edit dump from this post - didn't work

This did.

My symptom: All browsers don't play sound with certain video streams. Flash videos were ok but most other video wasn't including media player embedded pages.

Solution:

Go to the following registry folder: (type regedit under run command in windows)

goto

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\NodeCLSIDs\{95037DA1-6ED9-4B27-8CFF-9AD3DFB0B2F2}]

double click on 'Auto Insert" on the right side of the box.

Change the Value from "1" to "0" and click OK.

Hope this works!

Just to tell you, you need to include the "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" at the very beginning of the notepad file

so it's like:
"Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32]
blah blah blah
blah blah
blah"

except without the " " and the blah blahs replaced with the actual DataTypeX.

In total it should look EXACTLY like this:

if you look at your post you'll see that missing. reg is spelled missing.rge

not sure if it was when you saved it, but if it was it wouldn't have worked. Also, you must include the quotemarks when you name it. Then it will be identified as a true Reg file. type it exactly as below

"missing.reg"
