No sound

For some weeks now I have had no sound on Opera at all. Doesn't matter where I try to watch something - on a website, on facebook or on Youtube, no sound. I have sound on other browsers.
It's possible this started after I updated flash. However, I don't know how to turn flash off (some sites I visit need flash, so that would only be temporary) or what to do. I did uninstall Opera using an Iobit uninstaller and reinstalled, but it didn''t make any difference. Would appreciate any one who can help me.

Set opera://flags/#autoplay-policy to "No user gesture required" just in case the videos aren't autoplaying like they're supposed to.

Also, while Opera is open, right-click on the volume icon in the systray at the bottom right of your screen, choose "open volume mixer" and turn the volume for Opera.

@burnout426 Thank you! That worked! I had looked in there before, but not whilst playing a video. I appreciate your help greatly.
