Audio players don't work and will not play.

@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.

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?

and then:

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?

@leocg What OS are you using then? I have both of those on my computer, and they don't work.

This problems seems to persist to this day, as the latest build of Opera for Windows 10 seems to be unable to play track previews on http://www.bleep.com. Even the latest beta build of Opera for Android seems unable to play tracks on http://www.soundcloud.com.
