The W3C technique 'FLASH34: Turning off sounds that play automatically when an assistive technology is detected' http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/FLASH34.html

To perform screen reader detection, Flash provides the flash.accessibility.Accessibility.active

property. If this property is set to true, it means that the Flash player has detected running assistive technology. Based on this flag, the Flash developer can choose to run different functionality.
But NVDA is not support this technique.
Thanks.

If this could stop web sites playing unstoppable sounds as soon as a page loads it would be most welcome!

This is an interesting idea. Although, keeping in mind that flash will be discontinued in 2020, what are your thoughts @jcsteh? I am leaning toward a wontfix

Given the continuing demise of Flash, I don't think even investigating this is worthwhile. Closing.
