I got it playing quite nicely and at a good volume. I couldn't determine 
where or how to work any controls. This may lead you to someone who can 
help...

I'm still using the latest version of IE 6. There are several pages, but 
the
one I use most is:

http://www.catholictv.org/

If you click on "watch live" then you will get to the active player. 
With
JAWS, I can't control the volume of the player, and I have to turn my
speakers  up quite loud to get it working.

Hi Vicki.

What browser and version? And what web pages for example?

Your problem might be related to Microsoft's changes to the ActiveX
model on which Flash depends:
