As the title says, I am having a problem where sound does not work in Java applets under Windows 7. I'm running the most recent version of the JRE available from the Sun website, 6 update 12. The problem occurs in any browser I've tried, including Internet Explorer and the latest versions of Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.
Sound is working fine outside of Java applets, and the applets themselves are working normally other than the fact that they are silent.
Is this an issue unique to my system? After searching the forums and using Google fairly extensively I've been unable to find any reports of similar issues with Windows 7 so I'm beginning to suspect that it is.
