Sounds on web pages or sounds when you click on navigation buttons?

That was my first thought. It didn't work. I also uncecked play animations, and play videos. They didn't work either.

Should work.
 
Check registry @
my computer\hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\internet explorer\advancedoptions\multimedia\sounds.
 
should show (among others):
 
(Defult): (value not set)
CheckedValue: yes
DefultValue: yes
Text: Play sounds in web pages
Type: checkbox
UncheckedValue: no
ValueName: Play_Background_Sounds.

Now I'm really stumped. That is what my registry says, and I'm still getting sounds fro certain web-sites.

I think thats all I have for you.
 
Been looking but havn't found any other way of doing it.
 
Are you sure these sites dont have a mute key?
