What exactly do you mean by "from HTML"? Are you trying to play MP3s on peoples' Web sites without downloading them? Are you trying to build a Web site with built-in sound but it isn't working?

 

I'm not sure what you're trying to do here.

 

But no matter what's going on, one thing I would try would be to load the stuff from a different computer - just to be very, very sure that the problem is actually on your computer and not on the Web site's end, or something. You can also try with a different browser on your own computer.

Sounds like you should attempt to upgrade your codecs to the latest version, and get quicktime+microsoft media player+real player...As they are the three programs most websites use when trying to stream music/movies into your browser

I'm not stealing any songs. I meant was that those websites that have some special effect sounds on their website. My computer cannot play the sounds BUT I still can play MP3 music on Windows Media or any other player. Only sound from websites that cannot be played. If the websites uses Window Media as their default player, then only thee is sound but HOW MANY WEBSITES uses windows media as their player

If its Flash sounds you are talking about, i suggest you upgrade to the latest version. or just go to the flash site and download again. I would also suggest you to d'load FireFox and check the websites that you think dont work in IE. If they do in FF then your have a software problem with IE so just re-install IE itself ;)RegardsDhanesh.

What browser are you using? If it's Firefox, I have had issues playing MP3 sounds embedded in web pages, because the Quicktime plugin does not seem to work correctly on my computer. (It says the plugin is necessary, but cannot be installed, go figure.) Like dhanesh said, a good way to solve the problem is to try a different browser on the same page and see if the problem continues.

I assume you're running Linux, so check that your sound system not being blocked by other programs.xboxrulz
