Audio Failure Only While Watching Any Kind of Video Online

     Both my internal audio unit and my external one (M-Audio Firewire 1814) are prone to this problem. After about a minute or so of watching any kind of video online, irrespective of website (YouTube, The Daily Show's Website, random embedded flash video, anything) or browser (Chrome, Safari), the sound starts to sort of disintegrate, stutter, and ultimately go out.
     If I am using the Firewire unit, restarting the the device fixes it. If I am using my laptop's built-in audio, the problem is fixed by plugging in headphones, or unplugging them if they were in in the first place.
     Note that this is not an issue with videos on my computer, only streaming online ones. I at first suspected it had to do with buffering and my computer not being able to handle the load, but even if I let a video fully buffer, I still experience this problem after a minute or so.
     Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

This is all most unfortunate...from what I read in your post you have covered everything that can be done at your end....something is damaged on the Logic Board it sounds like...as to how much it would cost only the people that end repairing will know after it is diagnosed....take it in...tell them what you have found and tried so far...maybe that will help narrow down the problem...
Good Luck....

Recently I've not been able to watch any kind of video on my iPad ie: music video, Netflix, YouTube, etc

Recently I've noticed that I'm not able to watch any kind of video on my iPad.....youtube, music videos, netflix, news videos, etc. I'll hit the play icon and then the pause button comes on and then quickly flips back to the play button. The video never starts. Everything else seems to be working fine. I'd like to know if anyone knows what causes this? Thanks.

Not sure what causes this, but see if this fixes it. Close all apps and reboot the iPad.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I am unable to watch any kind of video or flash

The most recent update has made me unable to watch any flash or video. I have updated ALL my extensions and add ons, but still can't watch ANY videos or flash.

hello Torvaldr, this is probably a problem in connection with the recent update of adobe's flash plugin, please refer to the following article for common solutions: [[Flash 11.3 crashes or does not load in Firefox 13]]

When I watch any kind of video the screen turns green, what should I do?

When ever I watch a video of one I video taped or one on YouTube or a music video the screen turns green. How can I stop my iPhone from doing this?

Most YouTube content requires Flash. Apple does not support Flash for iOS devices.
Try using the pre installed YouTube app.

Are these videos that require flash, if so you can't view them.
If not explain more in details where the videos are from.

ITunes freezes when playing any kind of video

Up until a little while ago I was able to use iTunes to stream movie trailers, watch video podcasts, and watch movies saved in my library. For some reason now I am unable to.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Quicktime and iTunes, and I have even tried using older versions of both of these.
I can play videos in Quicktime OK, but not in iTunes.
The moment I hit "play", iTunes freezes. This happens with ANY kind of video (ie. podcasts, streaming, trailers, local videos, etc.)
Videos I used to once be able to play I cannot.
I have synced some of the videos to my iphone and they play fine on it, so the format is correct.
Any help would be great.

I had this same problem s a lot of others after updating to the latest I Tunes version. I finally got a decent response back from Apple, which was hard to do. Here is what they told me. Maybe it will help you:
I'm sorry to hear that you're dissatisfied with the way the episodes you purchased plays in iTunes on your computer. I appreciate your decision of contacting us to have this concern addressed. It's my pleasure to be of help for you today.

Any kind of video playback is choppy, eventually stops

So a couple weeks ago I dropped my macbook flat, upside down, from about 3 feet up, on a wooden floor. I died a little inside. Since then, it has been acting up. Any kind of video playback (html5, flash, quicktime, etc.) is great at the beginning, but then gets choppy, and eventually just comes to a stop. The weirdest part about this, is that I can avoid this, ONLY if I constantly move the cursor around while the video is playing! You all probably think I'm an idiot, but I have done extensive testing on this, and its definitely the mouse movement (trackpad or bluetooth mouse, either way), that keeps the video playing smoothly. As well as the video playback, my computer will sometimes not wake up from sleep, and when I do an emergency shutdown (hold the power button down til it shuts off), and fire it back up, it tells me to do another emergency shutdown, and will continue to do so until i remove the battery, replace it, and start it up again.
After this "behaviour" persisted for a few days, I did an erase and re-install of snow leopard (didn't make a difference), and I also removed/replaced my hard drive and ram, just for good measure.
Please, can someone tell me what the heck is going on, and maybe give me an idea of how much this is gonna cost me to fix (as I am clearly out of warrantee)?
Thanks so much,
Bobby

never heard of perian. its a quicktime player? would this help?
Give Allan's advice a try. I'm curious to see how that works for you.
4GB RAM could be part of the issue. Open Activity Monitor, select System Memory and see what it says for Page ins, Page outs, and Swap used.
Perian isn't a necessity, but those three together usually cover all the different formats you might encounter.

I installed adobe 9 on my Mt. Lion mac and now whenever I try to play any kind of video a box from adobe comes up asking me to give them permission to store things on my computer. This is scary to me. Should I say yes?

I installed adobe 11.9 on my computer and now whenever I try to play any kind of video a box comes up from Adobe asking me to give permission to store things on my computer. The boxes are all from adobe but the sites in the boxes differ. Should I say yes? This is scary to me--virus paranoia.

You may have the box for 'Ask me before allowing sites...' or 'Block all...' checked in System Preferences - Flash Player, as pictured below... If so, try the 'allow' one instead, or if you prefer, continue to deny/allow when prompted.

How do i get my speakers to work when i take any kind of video?

How can i get my speakers to work when i take any kind of video?

Yes definitely make sure you're not covering the mic, its at the bottom of the phone on the left next to the 30 pin, but if thats not the problem and you're still under warranty then definitely take it back to apple because it's probably a hardware issue and theyll gladly replace or fix it for you.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Firefox on my laptop wont play any kind of video why?

I have the latest version of firefox and all the plugins are up to date because I just checked, yet all of a sudden any kind of video, game or whatever that is that is bigger than a normal gif that wants to move and do things wont work. I get youtube saying an error occurred and cant get any other video to load from any place and games too. How do I fix this, how did it happen and how do I prevent it.

(A) Try reset iPad
Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Close all apps in the multi-task window
1.Double-click the Home button.
2. Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
3. Preview will fly off the screen.

Apple TV optical audio output problem only while watching a rented movies from iTunes.

I have our Sharp TV setup via the HDMI outputs from the Appletv and external powered speakers via the optical outputs from the appletv unit. The external speakers work fine with everything else on the appletv but not while watching rental movies from Itunes. The speakers give off a rhythmic ticking sound, no movie sounds, yet the tv does have the sound. Again, I can use the speakers for everything else from appletv. Rent a movie from ITunes and the speakers just tick. Any ideas?

Well, I have seemed to have narrowed it down. It would seem that the problem does not lie on the appletv unit. The sound works fine if "Dolby" is turned off in the appletv settings. The speakers are 5.1, should work. Thinking that the problem is the RadioShack brand converter. Converts the optical outs from the appletv to RCA.... then to the speakers. Something must be lost in "translation". Perhaps it is the quality of the cables. Don't know. Gut says the quality of the converter. Any suggestions for a perhaps better quality converter? Or should I just say screw it and just listen without the Dolby?

Firefox won't let me watch any type of video or listen to any audio

It started around the time I downloaded Google Chrome, but I'm not sure if they had anything to do with each other. Videos and Audio don't work on any site for me- I live in China so I use Youku, Tudou, Soso, Tumblr, and all of these sites used to let me see their videos and listen to audio on firefox but they suddenly just don't. I've tried restarted firefox, reinstalling it, and reinstalling adobe flash player, java script, but nothing seems to work. I know that the videos can work, because they do on Google Chrome, but Google Chrome doesn't have all the plugins I can get on Firefox, and I want to start only using firefox, but I'm unable to do that if all videos and audio refuses to work for me.

There are some compatibility issues between the latest Flash player and some Firefox add-ons or settings. Could you see whether anything in this article helps: [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]].
