Flash Player no longer using the 'speaker fill' option in Windows.

The latest update of Flash Player breaks the 'speaker fill/sound enchancement' feature of Windows. i.e whenever I play some online videos only 2 of 6 speakers will output sound. Previously all 6 (1 Subwoofer + 5 speakers) used to play audio. I can confirm the issue with both Chrome & Firefox (I was using an older build of Flash Player 11.x in Firefox so the Audio was fine but when I upgraded to 11.3.x the compatibility was broken). So how am I supposed to fix this issue?
It's not a software/driver error btw as everything else works fine, audio from Media Player or any other sound application will play on all speakers.
In short worlds: This newer version of Flash player just 'bypasses' the 'System Effects/Speaker Fill/Sound Enchancements' of Windows. It just plays the audio directly but on only 2 Speakers since my System requires these 'System Effects/Speaker Fill/Sound Enchancements' to ouput sound on all speakers. So why did adobe change this?

I am also having this exact same problem and it is infuriating. And I am not seeing a quick download links to the previous version unless it was the last major version change and I don't want to go back that far. I am using a Creative Titanium X-fi PCI-e sound card with a Sandybridge chipset (2700k). My sound works fine in anything that isn't flash and I have also tested in multiple browsers.

I have a problem with FF 4.0b8 and Adobe Flash player where portions of the YouTube page or FF window will black out when I move my curser over buttons or tabs, etc. Any suggestions?

I'm running FF 4 Beta 8 with the latest Flash player (10.1.102.64). When I play YouTube videos, the video is loaded, starts, and plays okay, but when I move my cursor around within the Firefox window, portions of the window black out under where the cursor travels. FF tabs and buttons will black out, or parts of the YouTube page (but not the video). CTL-ALT-Del to bring up Windows Security Panel, then CANCEL will restore the Firefox window, plus the YouTube page correctly (ie black is gone and window has been redrawn correctly). I can open up new tabs and replicate the problem multiple times. I've also experienced this problem with embedded YouTube videos (though it's easiest to replicate the problem direct from the YouTube page.) I don't experience this problem at all with FF 4 Beta 8 in Safe Mode, nor the latest FF 3.x.x. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the Flash plug-in. Anyone have any ideas?

Problem involving videos played from the YouTube site is much less noticeable after upgrading from FF 4.0b8 to 4.0b9, but still occurs with embedded YouTube videos, where blacking out of other portions of the window still happens.

ok sorry for the lack of details guys never used a forum before.
here are some details.

OS: 8.1 64bit
intel:i7 3770k
speakers:5.1 logitech
Drivers: downloaded from msi support section for the board (not the ones from the disc because it is in a different country)
comparing it to the one posted by HenryW(thanks BTW), you can see that i do not have the speaker fill options.
You don't have sound effects either, latest driver does not have itm lost mine no thanks to LiveUpdate, that is why I got rid of it quickly (should have known better) and had to look for an older version. Currently my version is 6.0.1.6873 has both.
You may have it with the drivers of the MB CD.

Properly updating Flash CS5.5 to use the lastest Flash Player/Debugger

Hey all,
I'm just about to uninstall and reinstall at this point but I'm getting my install all screwed up trying to update Flash Pro CS5.5 to use Flash Player 11. I had it fine using the MXP provided in this adobe blog. Though that's 11.0 not 11.1. It did work however.
I downloaded the latest Flash Player / Debugger .exe and the latest SWC for 11.1 and now Stage3D is no longer being seen. Clearly I screwed something up. I uninstalled and reinstalled the MXP after deleting the FP11 XML and FP11 directory but it's not working anymore.
Is there a clear cut simple way to explain how to overlay the latest Flash Player for FPCS5.5?
I used the AIR overlay instructions for 2.6 - 3.1 and it worked every time. Now I just need Flash Player overlay instructions.
I'm very interested to start trying to Starling framework with Stage3D. I select FP11 to export and it tells me it can't find Stage3D. D'oh!
Thanks for tips!

Just an update. Upon printing flash.system.Capabilities.version I can see for CTRL+ENTER it's using version WIN 10,2,153,2. When I do a debug test it's using version WIN 11,1,102,55. That clearly explains why Stage3D is only available in debug testing.
I did overlay release and debug .exes in the Flash CS5.5 Player folder. Does anyone know of another place I might need to overwrite the flash player or which .exe CTRL+ENTER actually launches?

Flash Player no longer works in Internet Explorer on Win8.1 after system tune-up

I recently had my laptop computer tuned up. After the service I have lost the use of Adobe Flash Player. I have already done the basics. I went to Manage Add-ons and ensured Shockwave Flash was enabled. I went to Safety and ensured ActiveX was not checked. I also downloaded the latest version of the software; Flash Player 15. When I check the status on the Adobe site it states that Flash Player is installed but disabled. I have checked it a number of times and Shockwave is truly enabled. I can no longer watch videos and at those sites I get a message that states I need Flash Player to watch the videos. I have a Lenovo laptop with Windows 8.1. I have also tried with Chrome and have the same result. Flash Player worked fine before the tune-up and the company that did the service says it is a common problem with Windows 8.1 but offers no solutions. Does anyone have a recommendation or solution? I would greatly appreciate any assistance. Thank you!

Hello Jeromie,
Thank you for the follow up. I was aware that Flash Player is included with Windows 8.1. This makes it even more frustrating because it is included and yet doesn't now work. I have not attempted to install it but I did download the latest version. I am frustrated because there is no way to speak with anyone directly at Adobe as to whether there is a fix but I do appreciate your expertise and advice. I have done the system checker with no improvement. I have also updated Java Script on the chance that would help but that does not seem to be the issue.
There is something blocking the enabling of Flash Player between Internet Explorer and Adobe Flash Player. Flash Player is enabled through Manage Add-ons but when the status is checked on Adobe it shows it disabled. I was considering resetting Internet Explorer to default settings to see if that would help since all this happened after my computer service. But that reset would permanently change any and all other settings I have done.
I am going to try and find an expert tech who may be able to get this resolved. I am still hopeful that you or someone else reading this post may be able to offer a solution. If not, I will have to learn to live with it until Microsoft decides to correct the issue.
Thank you!

Adobe Flash Player no longer usable in Chrome Browser?

I have a white macbook from mid 2009 running on Leopard (OS X. 10.5.8). I am also using the Chrome browser, and got an alert about a month ago saying that my operating system was too old so Chrome will no longer be receiving updates. However, as of today this means that Adobe Flash Player no longer updates itself in the browser so I can no longer use it when I surf the web. I also checked if the Flash player was disabled in the plugin list and it does not even appear there. Do I have to update to Snow Leopard so that Flash can update itself in Chrome? Thank you for your help!

Is this how you checked it?

Is there adobe flash player on any of the ipad

is there adobe flash player on any of the ipad

No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash. Adobe is not providing Flash for Apple iOS devices, and they no longer provide Flash for any other cellular phones. Flash is officially gone.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
A sample of Apps that can display some Flash content:
1. Puffin
2. SkyFire
3. Photon Flash
4. Browse2Go
5. Swifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."
Download the Facebook app from the iTunes Store. Sign in with your Facebook ID and Password and you won't require flash to play videos.

Re-install adobe flash player everytime i restart the computer

Hello,
i found a thread in the ADOBE forum where a user reported he had to reinstall adobe flash player everytime he restarts his computer. I am having the same problem, can you please walk me through a solution?
thanks

Hi,
I registered just so I could try to help with this problem. I LITERALLY was having the same exact problem for a long time. I finally found a solution. Here is what I did:
*If Using Firefox:
1. Start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding the Shift Button and double clicking the firefox browser icon. It should give you the options to "Start in Safe Mode" or "Reset Firefox". - Start in "Safe Mode".
2. Download the newest flash player from adobe's website.
3. Download the Adobe Flash UNISTALLER from Adobe as well.
4. Close the browser and run the Adobe Flash Player UNISTALLER.
5. Once complete, locate "C:\Windows\System32" folder on your C: drive.
6. Find the folder called "Macromed" and DELETE the entire folder.
7. RESTART YOUR COMPUTER.
8. Once computer starts back up, hold the SHIFT button and double on the Firefox icon to launch it. This time when presented with the option to start in "Safe Mode" or "Reset Firefox", click "RESET FIREFOX".
9. Once it completes, close the browser and RESTART YOUR COMPUTER AGAIN.
10. Once it starts back up, install the Adobe Flash Player. When that is finished. RESTART your computer one last time. ***This last time is to verify that after your computer is turned off and back on, the flash player will still work.****
11. When your computer starts back up, open the firefox browser NORMALLY and go to a site like youtube that uses flashes. If the videos play correctly and you dont receive a message about installing flash player,......CONGRATULATIONS!!! PROBLEM SOLVED!!!
12. ****OPTIONAL!!!**** - Go to firefox addons and check to make sure all of your plugins are up to date. You should see adobe flash player in the list as up to date. If so, restart your computer one last time, start the browser agin and check your plugins once more. If they are still up to date, you're problem is officially solved.
If this solved your problem, please let people know. Look at the date I posted this reply. Its still been happening long after you first started this forum.

the problem I have since I upgraded to Mavericks version 10.9.1
The problem appears only with Mail not with other programs, not even with my browser.
When I try to zoom the text of an e-mail I received or sent , I can no longer use the keys Command + to enlarge the text, although I can reduce it with Command -.
As I have a problem with my eyes, This is a serious matter for me.
When I write an e-mail, if I select text and press Command +, it just displaces the text to the right.
Now, my husband has a USB keyboard. If he connects it to my computer, his regular Command + does not work either, but he uses the extended keyboard, then it works. Unfortunately, he needs it for a musical application which does not work with a wireless keyboard.

Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin-container.exe" which was using up most of my CPU when I opened up multiple tabs that contained Adobe Flash files, and caused Firefox to lock up.
My solution was to use Firefox 3.5.10 which you can get from the Mozilla website at [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
I am using Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the release notes, I believe it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".
Hopefully, they will fix Firefox 3.6 in the next version (e.g. Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use "Firefox 3.5.10".

How can I make an ant file that launches an AS project app in a debug flash player that traces to the flex console?

How can I make an ant file that launches an AS project app in a debug flash player that traces to the flex console?
Basically I like the control over the compiling process that I get by using Ant - but I really want traces to come up immediately without having to switch contexts.
I have an ant file that successfully launches a swf in the flashplayer - but I don't know how to make the flex console start displaying the trace output. I assume that I will have to point it to the appropriate trace output file - but I am not sure how to have ant even address the console. Is this possible?
Here is the the target node from my ANT file:
    <target name="launch">
        <exec executable="${FLASHPLAYER_EXE}" errorproperty="trace.output">
            <arg line="'${DEPLOY_DIR}\test.swf'" />
        </exec>
    </target>
Thanks for any thoughts, or alternatives!

For the record, I ended up using Logwatcher - it worked perfectly.

Flash Player Installer downloads from the Adobe distribution site as a generic file without an extension and the file won't open.

Hi, everyone.
When I download Flash Player Installer from the Adobe distribution site Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe the file downloads to my hard drive as a generic file with no extension, and Windows can't determine which program to use in order to open/play the file. I am using Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
Is there something wrong with the downloaded file? Or am I missing required software?
Thank you for your time,
-Brandon

Yes, I've never had a problem before. I've even downloaded the Flash Player Install files from the Adobe distribution site on multiple occasions in the past without issue. The only thing I could think of is that perhaps the ".exe" extension was left off to avoid triggering security measures on a computer or private network that would prevent the download.
Anyway, it worked after I added the ".exe" extension to the filename, so I have no complaints!

TS1702 after upgrading to ios 6 i can no longer use the app store.

after upgrading to ios 6 i can no longer use the app store on my iPhone, i am unable to install new apps. i chose to fill out the security questions and the problem seems to occur since then. what could be a solution to get the app store working again??

i just contacted apple support and the solution is the following!!!!!
connect the iphone to your computer and open itunes
then click on itunes store at the left side of the screen
then click at the right top side of your itunes screen on your email address (or id that is displayed there in the black bar)
choose log out
then go to the top of the screen with the search option in itunes where you can search in the store and choose an app that you have not yet installed.
then you get the security questions also in itunes, fill the them out and after you have done that you are asked to log in again
now when you install an app that works (it is then on your computer still)
open the app store on your iphone and choose the updates button and install the app from the cloud
now when you install new apps also from the app store on your iphone it works again!!! and you are no longer asked about the security questions
(the other option they told me (that i did not have to use) is: go to settings/general/ all the way at the bottom of the screen choose make new settings restore networksettings and choose yes)

Flash Player no longer using the 'speaker fill' option in Windows.
