I can play video with sound on sites like YouTube and embedded audio clips work on some sites, but recently, I cannot hear embedded sound files on video and audio clips on sites like Tumblr and Wikipedia. How do I fix this?

Check your plugins are uptodate!

Type about:addons in URL and Goto Plugins

  • Check all the plugins are "Always Active"

Somewhere on the page right click, go to view page info > permissions and make sure that adobe flash content is allowed to play on that domain.

Flash in Protected mode occurs issues too
