Choppy sound through any browser

Hello,
I've been having this problem for a few good months: the sound coming out of Firefox when playing e.g. Youtube videos or MIDI files is choppy, as if only every other sample of the sound were played. This happens even when there aren't many programs opened, so likely not a performance issue.
The problem is not browser-related, as the same thing happens in Chrome and IE. I'm guessing it's from Adobe Flash Player, even though I also get choppy sound when playing sound files which I don't think play through Flash, such as this one.
Playing other sounds, e.g. MP3s using Winamp, works just fine.
I'm running Win XP 32bit on a laptop with 4GB RAM and dual core CPU. I tried to find the Flash version but I'm not sure where to look for it.
Can anyone help? Many thanks!

I think I'd agree that this isn't Flash Player specific on your system, the .ogg file also has problems. When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details. Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
dxdiag instructions
How do both of these video files work with Chrome?
HTML5 video
Non-HTML5 video
Thanks,
Chris

5g nano no longer plays sound through (any) dock!?

I recently got a brand new dock, and it is, without a doubt compatible, with the 5G nano.
It played out loud through the dock with no problems for a few weeks, but it suddenly stopped transferring the sound through to the dock the other day, and instead, now, it just plays through the external speaker on the actual iPod. I tried it through my friend's dock too, and the same thing happened.
This is all to do with the internal connection, because when it first happened, I found that if i wiggled it around in the dock and held it at a certain angle, it played. However, that only lasted a few minutes and then it just stopped playing through the dock altogether.
It's strange because it connects to the computer fine through the exact same slot, and I can transfer music fine.
Saying that...on the day ot happened, the song I had just transferred from the comp onto the iPod magically disappeared from the device. That was weird. So I had to put it on again. And it definately went on the first time; I saw it in the playlist.
Anyway, all I can think of is that I have 'dislodged' something inside the iPod when connecting it into to the dock, or i've 'pushed something out of place internally' maybe...because I have not been using the dock adaptor (the iPod doesn't fit inside the adaptor because it has a plastic case over it). So maybe i've pushed it too far down into the dock slot or something?
Can anyone tell me if they've had this problem too?
Or if so, how much would this kind of thing cost to get repaired? Or have I mucked it up so bad I may as well give up now and get a new one (unless I never want to use a dock again)?

I just purchased my 30gb video iPod, and am running into almost the exact same situation. The only difference is that I don't have to reset it. It just won't play a movie at all. It starts the little "timer" thing that clicks around, but then goes back out of the movie. I know the movie is a good download, because I can watch it from start to finish within iTunes.
Anyone got any ideas? I really don't want to stay on hold for 1-2 hours waiting on a person to talk to with tech support!

Cannot access Adobe Story Free through any browser.

Hi,
I cannot log in to Adobe Story Free using any web browser on my home PC workstation, however I have no problems logging in to Adobe Story Free using any web browser on my work PC laptop or any other Mac or PC.
So I suspect it's not an Adobe CC account issue, but rather a local issue with corrupted settings on my home PC...? I have tried deleting browsing history, cache, cookies etc. but problem still remains in all web browsers.
I need urgent help to fix this please.
Adobe CC Subscription (Student and Teacher)
Home PC Workstation: Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit
Browser Issues: Google Chrome, Firefox, IE - all hanging on a blank page after I sign in with my username and password.
Regards,

I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Adobe Flash player...didn't fix the problem.

...I can confirm that Flash Player Version 17.0.0.134 is installed successfully on Firefox (V37.0.1) IE (v10.0.9200.17267) & Chrome (v 41.0.2272.118 m)
...I can also confirm that "Adobe Flash" is enabled on story.adobe.com (as shown above)
However I still can't get into Adobe Story.
I can see this screen:
Adobe Story | Scriptwriting software
Then I click on Sign In which takes me to this page:
Sign in - Adobe ID
Then when I enter my Adobe CC username and password, the page just hangs (blank white) in Firefox & Chrome, & an error message in IE
Edit: Here's something new. I can log into Adobe Story Free on Firefox only (using my work Adobe ID = [email protected]) but not using my home Adobe ID. Is there an account issue maybe after all? Still doesn't explain not working in Chrome or IE though.

My iPhone 5c has no sound through any applications. I tried "chatting" with someone but it was anything but helpful

MMy sound is not working at all.

In order to help find a solution, would it be okay if I asked you a few more questions?
When you mention "no sound" and "chatting", you mean that your device is unable to produce sound. Or do you mean it is unable to capture sound?
Something you can do to being differentiating between hardware or software is the following: navigate to Settings > Sounds and slide the "RINGER AND ALERTS" volume slider up and down a little. When you let go do you hear anything?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You must restore from a computer.
Get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

Is there a way to view my firefox bookmarks online from any pc through a browser?

Is there a way to view my firefox bookmarks online from any pc through a browser?

Hi!
Short answer is no. And unfortunately there's no really longer answer. Firefox Sync's vision and product design is to allow you to have all your information in all your browsers.
The really long answer is that they are some other projects on the works that will cover the case that you refer to: you are in a computer that is not yours and you want to access once with your home set-up. Unfortunately at the moment is just an idea.

I have no sound in Firefox, but sound does work everywhere else. The mixer on Win7 is not showing a firefox volume option. Where do I go to fix the issue and get sound on the browser, can't find any menu's for this fix.

New system, just setting up. Trouble shot hardware and everything works fine, just can't get any sound on the browser and have no obvious volume control for Firefox. All other volumes are at full

Hi Guys,
My iPhone is stuck in a mode where it thinks the headset is still plugged in.
I cant get any sounds through the speaker. Cant hear sms or emails arrive. If the phone rings i hear it but pple cant hear me or i cant hear them.
The phone works fine with the headphones plugged in.
I have tried all the usual solutions, inserted and removed the headset (at least 50 times)
Soft reboot
full restore
Nothing seems to work. I have searched on this and it seems to be a well know issue but there doesnt seem to be any firm solutions that i can find to fix the problem

If no change after inserting and removing the headset at least 50 times, powering the iPhone off and on, an iPhone reset, and restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

Sound not playing through any device.

Sound will not play through any device I try. I tired re installing all the drivers messing around with the playback device
and sound mixer and tried going through the audio jack in the back the headphone jack in the front hdmi to my tv and usb wireless headset none of them worked. and tried them all on with something other than my pc and the devices themselves work. i honestly
dont know what else to try is it something with windows or maybe my graphics card or something else? please help.

Hi Kevinwido,
When did this issue occur ?Have you made any modifications to the machine ? Will the built-in sound device work ?Have you tried to update the motherboard from the manufacturer website to have a check ?
You may need to download the sound card driver from the manufacturer for the sound devices to have a check.
If only the outer device won`t work and both of them are USB devices ,it is recommended to reinstall the USB controller driver, too .
If the issue occured recently ,we can perform a system restore to recover the machine to a previous point to have a check. Please note we will miss some configurations after the restore point .
Best regards

I recently purchased a 7th Gen iPod nano which I have downloaded my music to. However, when I try to play this it is showing on the iPod as play but I am getting no sound through. I have checked the headphones and reset it. Any ideas?

Haha I had the exact same problem. Once I had tried it like 4 different pairs of headphones i was ready to give my iPod back. Then I tried pushing the headphones in further and proceeded to kick myself. I seems a lot of people have the same problem, post it on here and realise a few minutes later.
