Flash player 10.3 (current) causes major sound delays and sluggishness

Dutifully updating the Adobe Flash player as recommended, I ran into the problem that the curren version of it (10.3.187?) causes large delays in sound playback, like 0.5-1s delay before the sound plays that should play, also regular hangups in flash applications (choking). This ruins e.g. flash gaming of any sort.
System: Windows XP Pro on an AMD Athlon64 3700+ (single core), 2GB RAM
I currently downloaded 10.3.181 from OldApps, installed it after removing the current version, and the problem went away; no delays, no sluggishness, no choking.
Any idea what the problem is, and when this is going to be fixed? I'd prefer to be able to run the latest version re: security.

  • Flash Player 11.6 r602 annoying boop sound

    Flash Player is giving off a "booping" sound every 6 to 10 seconds it's utterly annoying. I already tried a reinstallation but to no avail. What could that be and how do i shut it off?
    The Volume Meter in Windows 7 Ultimate x64 shows it as Flash Player 11.6 r602 and i have the latest version installed.
    I'm using Firefox v20.0 x64 If there's any additional information that is needed i will try to provide it.
    I have no idea what's causing it to do this sound and recording it would be a pretty hefty piece of work i think^^ so please bear with it...

    in IE I keep getting "adobe flash player 10 required" even though I have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version. Weirdly, the sound still works

    Just to update: Before posting, I tried everything I could find on Flash Player Help | Installation problems | Windows and nothing worked. The flash player stopped working in early November. I know it is some setting somewhere that I need to fix, but I just can't find it. I get a message that "adobe flash player 10 required" but, oddly, I still get sound.

    adobe flash player update service 11.6r.602 has stopped and was closed.
    i see this pop up at the bottom of the screen (task bar) and it is becoming very annoying.
    Why can't this be stopped.
    I have unchecked the service in msconfig.
    I have the current version of Flash Player.
    I use Google Chrome and Mozilla Fire Fox.
    I do not use Internet Explorer---way to slow and junked up.
    I do use Maxthon Cloud occasionally.

    I suggest that you do a clean install of the latest Flash Player, as described in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/928315

    The Flash Player is not running but it is there and it is enabled and Active X is not checked. The Player version is 16.0.0.305.  I have the latest ie11 and the latest W8.1. I have used the Adobe tool to delete the Flash and subsequently I have updated or reloaded Flash using your updater.  I have gone into IE options and insured that the settings are supportive of Flash.  The Adobe mini Flash test program on your site says it not enabled or Active X is enabled - not true - all is set as it should be.  I have gone through your forums but to no avail.  I've looked in MS forums but nothing that made any difference.  What's going on and what can I do about it?

    Try using Firefox. Flash usually works on Firefox when it won't on Safari. I noticed that the Safari does not show the same version as Firefox does. Iwonder if that could be the problem. Safari on the left shows 10.1, Firefox show 10.3

  • Flash player not working.  can't watch video and can't upload pics to facebook

    flash player not working.  can't watch video and can't upload pics to facebook

    thanks for helping.  I have windows 7, internet explorer.  recently had to replace my hard drive, and compete reinstall of all software so still a few bugs on settings, ect.  not seeing any error messages.  video and uploading pics seemed to be fine until the last week.  not sure what could have changed .  I can still look at PDF ect, I'm not positive its the Adobe that is messed up, but the 2 things I'm having problems with, clicking on and watching video on espn.com and not uploading pics to Facebook, both just does nothing when I try them.  no errors, just black screen where its suppose to play or upload.  the trouble shooting for both sites say make sure to have the latest version of flash player, so thats why I assume something is wrong with Adobe.  when I do the self scan from this site it says I have the latest version.  my settings say the player is enabled

  • Flash Player Suddenly Stopped Working on Chrome, I.E. and FF

    As with many other posters, the latest version of flash player (fp) suddenly stopped working on FireFox, Chrome and Internet Explorer!  I uninstalled fp using the fp uninstaller and attempted to reinstall it, but it would not download on FireFox nor Internet Explorer (Chrome has a built-in fp).  Therefore, I did a system restore to an earlier date hoping this would solve the problem.  It did not.  I have also unticked hardware acceleration, still nothing.
    If anyone has found a solution, please let me know.  Thanking you all in advance.

    Fortunately, I found my answer.  I went into the Adobe Global Settings (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.htm l ) and checked  "Allow third party flash content to store data on your computer".  Hopefully this may help someone else.

  • Flash player 11 is very glitchy on ALL browsers and makes my CPU usage 100%,Streaming media headache

    flash player 11 is very glitchy on ALL browsers and makes my CPU usage 100%, making all youtube and pandora or any streaming media a headache, i have a low-end but good quality Emachine with Windows 7 Sv pk. 1, AMD Athalon Processor 2650e 1.6 GHz 2GB ram 32-bit, which isn't that bad, it used to play HD videos and everything without a skip or lag, it is virus clean, and clean of any large bulky programs, the only thing that went wrong was the fact that the adobe flash updates slowly but surely made it worse, AND it will not let me roll-back to an older version anymore like it used to, so WTF is up? no one seems to have an answer for this, and it seems like ADOBE is doing everything in it's power to not let me ask this question or get it solved, maybe it's because I AM TOO SMART FOR IT AND KNOW IT'S A FAILURE. so please, anyone who actually has a degree in this field is welcome, but no BS anymore, i want answers.

    The jump to FP11 was pretty significant with Stage3D. Now Flash Player has a lower level access to your computers GPU to offload playing video and 3d rendering to the GPU. However if your systems GPU isn't up to the task you really won't see that performance gain.
    Enter H264 video decoding. A large segment of the Flash usage market is simply viewing video. For sites without fallback in mind (or don't mind software rendering fallback), video may suffer. Using the GPU accelerated video classes may make it difficult for your system to view playback. Disabling hardware acceleration as recommended above would revert you back to software (CPU) decoding to check if your system itself is the issue (and not all the new GPU additions). You did that yet you're still having an issue.
    Just to clarify, as I have an eMachine (for accounting), your computer is very much in the "budget" margin. You have a 3 year old single core 1.6ghz AM2 CPU with 512kb of L2. That's the K8 series. This is a very underpowered, single thread loving CPU. Only the most optimized Flash sites and lower end videos (720p or below) should play, but I'm not even sure if they'll "play well". It depends on your GPU.
    Also you should know they have an official list of unsupported chipsets and drivers based on many factors. Here's a list for FP11 and AIR3:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/stage3d-unsupported-chipsets-drivers-flash.html
    Check the bottom of the screen to see what Flash is reporting your rendering mode is. For example, mine states:
    Your gpu supports Stage3D in both Baseline and Constrained profile!
    Baseline RenderMode:
    DirectX9
    Constrained RenderMode:
    DirectX9 (Baseline Constrained)
    This probably won't get better in the future for you. Flash is not a low end multimedia runtime. It does require and utilize high end hardware in a much more reliable way.

  • Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.6 r602 stopped working and was closed?

    After trying many different fixes including uninstalling flash player  and unsuccessfully trying to reinstall it, would consistently stop  loading at about 57 percent.  Either there are remains of registry keys interfering or your site or my computer has been attacked.  No malware showing after checking with antivirus.  Seen same message on other computers.  Had to restore computer to earlier date but lost some contact info in the process in  Skype.  Possible problem from trying to install internet tv software, but restored to previous point there to.  Computer works ok but slowed on internet considerably but message shows continuously daily need a better solution or let your site analyze my flash player. What can I do?

    thank you for your info, I did edit the question to show I was using vista (business to be specific).  I will try again with some afterthoughts.  Will enable Java first.  I remember that was a problem in a  previous update, I thought that was always running and go through the steps again.  I don't feel comfortable messing with the registry and if you can add some advice on how to deal with that safely that would be appreciated also.  Thank you so much for your quick response.  Also, isupgrade to explorer 10 recommended for vista or is it suppose to accommodate windows 8.  I don't want to be a beta tester before they work out all the kinks sincerelyadobelougLou Grubin

    No, the silent background update does not need a restart to complete the installation.
    However, it may need to wait until the browser is restarted in order to delete old files.  Nothing to worry about.

  • Adobe Flash Player 11.5 r502 causes CPU overload

    Every time I start my MacBook Air, the fans go to high speed and Adobe Flash Player causes the CPU to run at 300% until I quit that process. Version is 11.5 r502 which has a date 12/11/2012. Problem is that without Adobe Flash Player none of the videos on CNN will play. Is anyone else having this problem? Any fix? Thanks!

    I'd recommend trying the troubleshooting steps outlined in this FAQ:

  • Flash player to show current bitrate on a graph

    Hi guys,
    As I remember, Adobe had one flash player that can show current video bitrate on a graph which is really useful when you want to show people how smooth FMS works when it switch between different bitrates.
    I want that player.
    Thanks a lot.

    Are you talking about the OSMF player that is on the media servers default webpage, "amsInstallDir/webroot/swfs/adobedemoplayer_pc.swf"?
    I am not sure which player it's based on, or if they included the source for it. I hope they did.
    If anyone else has more details, please share!
