I like to watch TV Shows on my Computer, but a lot of times the sound will be so low that I have to turn my speakers up. Now 20 minutes into the show, I'm bombarded with...

"IS THAT MESSY STAIN ON YOUR SHIRT NOT DISAPPEARING? TRY TIDE ALL-IN-ONE...."

I tab out to mute it, then 5 minutes later it swaps through a few Ads until it comes to another... How intrusive...

Some websites are absolutely horrible for this and ask that you pay some monthly service charge to remove the Ads... I have a better idea... How about I just prevent Flash Objects from sending sound to my computer...?

Any ideas how?

I have been on websites I was actually looking at buying something from and it wasnt even an ad. There was some guy standing on my screen talking about how great of deals they had and it was loud! I went somewhere else to shop. Granted I couldnt X'd out of it but it was just annoying that I didnt want to there are plenty of other places to shop.

This. Lots of times I have 2 or 3 tabs open and when I hear an ad's audio I scroll up and down searching all tabs thoroughly to mute it. I finally close the tabs raegfully and reopen them again. It's SUCH a nuisance.
