Audio players don't work and will not play.

Audio players, like the ones on Soundcloud, are not working. When I click to play them, they spit out an error. I've had this problem on Tumblr as well.

I'm on version 28.0.1750.40, no Turbo, no flashblockers, AdBlocker disabled on Soundcloud, and I have PPAPI flash, as well as NPAPI. Things were working several days ago.

They work good here. Try them in a private window, does that help? Also, you have sound in other applications, right?

Turbo enabled by chance?

Deactivated Flashplayer?

@lando242 I tried it in a private window, doesn't work still. Sound players work fine in my other browser, Internet Explorer.
@leocg I doubled-checked just now, I don't have Turbo enabled. Plus, Soundcloud would tell me if it were a flashblocker issue. The error I get on Soundcloud is something like "There was a problem playing this track." Soundcloud has a separate error for flashblockers, so I know it isn't that issue.
@gwen-dragon Doubt it. I checked my plugins and flash is enabled. Plus, Youtube and other sites would probably not work properly, either.

Is there a setting I might be missing? It looks like I'm the only one with this problem.

You might have a corrupt setting somewhere. Try renaming your profile folder (location can about found in the About Opera page). When you relaunch Opera it should create a new one. See if that helps.

Using proxy.
NuOpera got some peculiar feedback considering using proxies.

@lando242 renamed profile folder and it created a new one. It still doesn't work though

Ack, a detail I forgot though: Only my uploads on Soundcloud will play. Everything else on Soundcloud, as well as on Tumblr, does not work. It's really weird

How is the plugins settings in Settings > Websites > Plugins?

Which version of flash is being used?

Which OS?

Does disabling the npapi one helps?

Anyway, here neither soundcloud nor tumblr seems to be using flash.

Make sure opera://flags/#proprietary-media-types-playback is enabled.

I first tried enabling opera://flags/#proprietary-media-types-playback; It was enabled by default, but I made sure to enable it. Didn't really do anything. Same for disabling NPAPI, I'm pretty sure I tried it at some point, so I tried again. Didn't work though

Tests in other browsers:
Opera: Not functional
Internet Explorer: Functional
Firefox:Functional
Chrome:Functional

As a side note, I went on a different computer with Opera on it(same version 28) and audio players di not work on there either. For those of you that it works for: what version are you using?
