Before I asked the OP, I tried that site on a guess and looked in
downloads.

It didn't (and still doesn't) work in Firefox.... just checked it in
IE and it works FINE.

thank you sooo much!!! I have recently added Skype to my system and could not
get the audio to work, so i disabled and have spent the past two days trying
to find the answer to get my audio back!!! Thank you so much!!! This was
extremely helpful!
