All video players on Firefox lose sound and stop playing

Any video player I play will randomly lose sound and a few seconds later stop playing. I've noticed that this happens when I have two or more tabs with video players on them. Having only one tab with a player, be it youtube, jw player, or veever, does not cause any problems. Having two of them out at the same time causes the problem to occur.
I believe this happened around the time I installed winzip and Windows XP Mode onto my computer, but I have since uninstalled XP Mode.
I use an Acer computer, Aspier 4830T-6841, windows 7.

Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
[[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
[[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
[[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]

In my shuffle 4g the songs not playing properly most of the times it gives some kind of sound and stop playing songs.

in my shuffle 4g the songs not playing properly most of the times it gives some kind of sound and stop playing songs.

First, make sure the headphones plug is completely pushed into the headphones jack. Because the jack serves multiple functions, the fit may be tighter than expected (especially if you have the Apple EarPods).
Also, try using the headphones with another device, to rule out bad headphones. Or try another set of (known working) headphones with the shuffle.
Are you using older headphones that have remote control buttons? Not the latest EarPods and not the immediately previous version of white Apple earbuds. Or non-Apple headphones with remote control buttons. It's possible they are not compatible and interfering with the shuffle's operation. Any standard headphones (with no buttons) should work.
If that does not help, you can try doing a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to defaut settings. If a software (or settings) problem on the shuffle is the cause, the Restore should fix it.
Otherwise, if the Restore does not help, it may be a hardware problem. If it has been less than one year since purchase, it is under warranty.

Web player randomly cut off sound and stop playing after about 5 seconds.

My web player cut off the sound and stops after about 5 seconds. The only way to get it to work again without refreshing the page it to select a different time periode in the time bar. Also it happens more often at the first 25% of the movie.

I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

After being open for a while (with several tabs) Firefox becomes generally unresponsive and stops playing sound - videos will still play, but no sound.

This problem has only begun happening recently. I commonly keep my Firefox open overnight with websites like rainymood.com or grooveshark.com playing, as well as several other tabs including but not limited to Facebook, Reddit, and YouTube. Sometimes, after several hours/days of not restarting Firefox or my computer, Firefox begins to become unresponsive - that is to say, pages take a long time to load, opening new tabs is difficult for the browser, and videos will take up to 30 seconds to begin playing. In addition to this, sound will stop playing; if I begin a YouTube video, after the initial period of excessive loading, the video will play, but without any audio. Also, websites such as rainymood.com and grooveshark, even Facebook, will stop making sound.
Note that this is different from a flash plugin crash - when flash crashes, both audio and video become inaccessible and a simple refresh or restart of Firefox will solve the problem. But what is happening here is different; if I refresh the tab, nothing changes, and even if I restart Firefox, it opens again the same way until I restart my computer completely.
Also of note: I have had, in the past, this same thing happen but rainymood.com continued playing, however no other tabs would make sound. The problem is sporadic and I'm not sure where to begin. Also, sometimes this is only a Firefox-specific problem, meaning other programs on my computer can make sounds, but sometimes this problem makes my entire computer stop making sounds, except for Ventrilo, which works but is also unresponsive at first.

You can also try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Why does my compuer lose its cursor and/or loses sound and have to use mouse to get back?

I will be typing along and suddenly nothing shows on screen and have to use mouse to get back.
Also will be doing solitare or other game and lose sound and have to mouse to get things moving again.Is this a virus?
I updated my windows and nothing showed as a problem there.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Sound like something messed up somehow. Maybe you can consider reinstalling the drivers again? @28.86.2.0

My music file did not download correctly and stops playing after a few seconds.

My music files did not download correctly from itunes and stop playing after a few seconds.

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library and then download again from your purchased history. If the problem persists, or that facility is not available in your region contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history.

Burned CD is distorted and stops playing after a few seconds

I burned a cd in the usual manner with itunes, but the cd is distorted and stops playing in the cd player. I have burned dozens of cds in the past with no problem. Is this caused by the recent update?

Try a different brand of cd; I recently had this happen. It freaked me out at first, but after switching brands it never happened again.

Web based videos (youtube etc) have no sound and then stops after 4 seconds

When i try to play a video clip from any web site, the video plays with no sound for exactly 4 seconds, then it stops.
I can 'scroll' the time line anywhere, and the video plays from that point for another 4 seconds -still without sound.
Ive tried to upgrade to the lates version of flash player, and no difference.
This aplies to all web based videos that uses a flash based video player.
I'm using the Linux version of flash player on a Acer laptop with intel CPU and graphics, the computer runs Kubuntu Linux V11.10 Oneiric Ocelot kernel version 3.0.0-12
Any ideas?

Hi sorry for the delay in responding.
I'm not using any client side code as far as I am aware.
I think I should have said: Flash CS3 video Encoder, as I am
running both Production Premium Creative Suite 3, and also CS3 Web
Premium.
All I did was convert some AVI files that went through
Premiere Pro CS3 and After Affects etc, in Flash Video Encoder. I'm
not doing any live streaming.
THe FLVplackcomponent is the one generated in Dreamweaver
CS3, I choose Insert / Flash Video and choose the Streaming
options, I fill out the rtmp details ( I have another thread on an
issue there as a firewall blocks some of the files and I cannot use
rtmpt) and it works!!
If you have a suggestion for a better workflow or precedure I
would appreciate it.
It is just this one FLV file that seems to do this. I have
since chnaged this one file to Progressive and it plays fine.
I hope this helps.
These files are then placed in the applications folder in
Flash Media Server 2.0 directory.
This works fine

I would be glad for the opportunity to customize a Premiere Elements 12 answer to your Premiere Elements 12 issue.
But, I want to make sure that we are together on the details. This is my understanding of what you have written. Please review and let me
know if I am misinterpreting anything that you have written.
You have a video created in Windows Movie Maker.
How did you output the video from Windows Movie Maker...wmv or mp4, what was the frame size and frame rate of that export?
Next you import that video into Premiere Elements 12 (can we assume that this is on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit?)
From what you wrote, you have applied a pan and zoom effect to your video in Premiere Elements.
Now you go to export the Premiere Elements 12 Timeline content with your video with the pan and zoom applied.
But, the pan and zoom effect is not seen in playback of the export.
Is all of the above correct so far?
If so....we are going to need some more details from you...
a. What is the project preset that you or the project are setting to match the properties of the video coming from Movie maker? See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Rate, and Pixel Aspect Ratio even if the fields look grayed out.
b. Are you applying the pan and zoom effect with the Pan and Zoom Tool, fx Effects Presets, or keyframing the Scale (for Zoom) and
Position (for Pan) in the Motion Panel expanded?
c. What are you selecting as your export in Publish+Share/. Please give details...are you using default settings or customizing the export
setting under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab of the preset selected?
I am suspecting some sort of mismatch of your project settings or some problems with working with the Pan and Zoom tool. I need
your answers to help me help you. If I have written anything that you do not understand, please let me know. I will re-write if necessary
so that we are in sync to resolve the issue.
Thanks.

YouTube problem as of OS 3.0 - Videos only load about 1 minute and stop

Hello.
This is happening on my iPhone 3G S on WiFi (doesn't happen on 3G).
I just wanted to see if others were having the same issue. On YouTube (WiFi only) when I open a movie that is 3+ minutes long YouTube will begin loading the video and start playing and if you watch the play bar at the top it will show it keeps loading ahead as it plays up until about 1:20~1:30 or so and then it stops loading any video.
Once the phone plays all of the video up until 1:20~1:30 where it quit loading YouTube then pauses as though it's waiting for more data to download but it doesn't do anything. I have to exit out of YouTube and go back into the video, drag the time selection forward to that point, and hit play for it to begin playing from that point and then it only plays out for another minute to minute and a half before I do it again.
I never had this problem with my old iPhone 3G but I've not tested this on the 3G yet as my girlfriend currently has it. If you would please test a long (higher quality) YouTube video 8+ minutes on your iPhone and post back if you have the same issue or not.
Here is a video that I am having trouble with so you can test yourself:

I've found this issue is a Wifi issue with the 3.0 software more than an issue with YouTube. Oh well I guess we wait for an update.

All videos require reload of Adobe Flash & will not play after reload

ALL videos ask for an Adobe Flash update reload but do not allow the video to play. Firefox plug-in menu shows Shockwave Flash 10.1.82.76 installed & enabled. What more can be done?

This seems like a problem with Flash. Have you contacted Adobe about this?
