Very odd sound problem

I've had a problem for months now that's been driving me insane. 90% of the time my computer won't play sounds. Sounds in some games, mp3s, and a few online videos play, as do the sounds from the gigabyte sound test utility. However, I don't get any sound from online flash games or probably 80% of the videos I try to watch. Windows sounds don't play either.

I've reinstalled drivers 3 times, checked and double-checked all of the settings. I have no idea how to fix this.

I'm using the onboard sound of my Gigabyte GA-K8NSNXP board. The rest of the computer is AMD A64 XP2800+, Geforce 4200ti, 2 GB ram, Antec True480 PSU. Does anyone have any ideas?

DirectX updated? Flash updated? Proper audio codecs loaded?

I've updated flash, but have not checked audio codecs and DirectX. Will do that and report back.
 
OK, I downloaded the standalone version of DirectX 9.0C, installed it.
Uninstalled flash, rebooted, and then reinstalled.
Downloaded and installed all of the codecs I could find. Still nothing. I'm stumped.
