I cannot play audio on this site. I have tried it from chrome and it plays fine then. Why is it that Firefox cannot play this.


Note: Youtube plays fine. I have K-lite codec pack installed. I have the latest Firefox version 7.0.1

Plays fine here.

That is Flash: http://a1.sndcdn.com/swf/soundmanager2.swf

You have the Flash player installed according to the More system details list.


Start Firefox in Use Troubleshoot Mode in Firefox to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

I installed the Windows media player plugin but still I cannot play the song. Funny thing is that it plays fine in chrome. But I want it in FF :(

I tried the same link in safe mode and it works. So, What might be breaking it in normal mode? Any ideas?

Flashblock was blocking the sound. Got it sorted :) Thanks!
