Flash PLayer Audio Quality Issue

Howdy,
I am having a strange issue where I am hearing quality issues in the playback of sound on any flash content (youtube etc ..). The background music or backing tracks all play fine, but the Vocals / Voices in the video are quiet and distorted. The best way to explain it is, that I can hear the music on a music video ... but the words that the artist is singing aren't there.
Strange ....
I am running Windows 7 64-bit prof. on a brand new machine.
i7 X980X
12 gig memory
Realtex onboard sound from an EVGA X58 motherboard.
I have tried clearing and re-installing the installs, codec packs ... etc ... additionally this problem is present any time I play flash content in any browser or with a stand alone flash player.
Also, my sound works fine in games and local audio. And it passes all the surround sound tests, so I am sure the cables are hooked up appropriately.
Any thoughts ?
Thx !

Sadly, none of those seemed to help.
I was able to track down the issue. I have a new graphics card, and GTX 580
with HDMI support. It also installs an audio driver so it can pull out the
audio and send it out the HDMI port to a monitor with speakers / TV .. etc.
Once I disabled those drivers, everything started working normally. It was
some very strange symptoms.
Thanks,
C

No Flash Player Audio

I've lost Flash Player Audio. To hopefully fix, I downloaded Flash Player 11 ActiveX Ver. 11.8.800.175 and got an "Installation Complete". However, the Flash Player Checker at adobe.com tells me when I do a "Check Now" that it is "Not Installed". I uninstalled and downloaded 3 times, but still get the "Not Installed" message. I continue to get video but no audio. My browser is Internet Explorer Ver. 10 and my OS is Windows 7. Please let me know what you think I should do to get back the audio?
Thanks, Rob

Hello C.F. McBlob,
I was previously getting sound from an MP3 App when I lost sound with Flash Player. I subsequently checked for sound with the MP3 App and was still getting sound. At that point I wrongly deducted my sound problem was with Flash Player. Well, the real cause of my problem turns out to be an intermittent operational problem with my speakers which I made a bandaid repair to after my dog chewed through the very fine speaker wire a year or so ago. I think its about time I spend $20 and get some new speakers. Thanks to your reply, I once again checked for sound with other apps and discovered my speakers were the problem. I will withdraw my post. Thank you and everyone else who took the time to read and think about my post.
Regards, Rob

Hi Bentley,
I wanted to tell you that an important link you posted does
not work and says "Sorry, this page is not available".
It is in your post entitled "Locked [ADOBE FYI] : Getting

The link that is non-functional is "If you have issues

Read the technotes, do some testing.".
I just wanted you to know, since you have gone to all of the

but I was unable to post to your thread, since it is locked and

This is the issue I am dealing with myself, and desperately

Thank you so very much,

Hi Bentley,
I just noticed something. The link that I pasted, to your
post, does not work either. I noticed why, however, and it seems to
be why the link in your original page does not work, and why the
link in my post that goes to your post does not work.
It seems to be that if a link has a period after it (i.e., if
it is at the end of a sentence), the period is incorrectly included
in the "real" link. Somehow, whatever mechanism that processes the
post has a mini bug in it.
If you go to the link that is results in "Sorry, this page is
not available", and look up into the browser address bar, you will
see the period there each time.
I just thought that I would point this out, too, so that the
web techs in charge of the workings of the forums could look into
it.
Here is the original link, without a period after it, to your
original page.

Flash player audio and vidio out of sync

flash player audio and vidio out of sync. audio lags 2 seconds behind vidio. this is a flash player or silverlighr problem. please help.

A lot of times it's in the video itself. A great example of it is "Tarantula", a 1955 "B" horror movie, on YouTube. About twenty minutes inti the film the audio suddenly drops about eight seconds behind the video. This happens when a video converter (software) requires more processor or RAM than the system converting it has available.
If it only happens with certain videos, it' what I've described above and there's really nothing that can be done about it.
If it happens with ALL videos you're watching, try right clicking, choosing "Settings", and under the far left tab, "Enable hardware acceleration"

Poor On Call Audio Quality issue

Hi guys,
Im aware everyone has issues while listening to music via the headphones as i have that too. Thats something i can live with.
However, what i cant live it is poor on call quality issues without the headphones. The other person on the call doesnt sound all that loud, clear n crisp to me. I keep having to press the phone more towards my ear to hear them louder and better. Its sub par. Its worse than any phone ive used.
I just switched from an iPhone to this and im very dissappointed.
NOKIA PLEASE FIX THESE AUDIO QUALITY ISSUES!!! This needs more addressing than the battery issues..

Happens to me on Lumia 800 (12070). Usually at the beginning of the call I can hear the other party well but the call quality seems to degrade slowly over the course of the call. I've tried pressing the phone closer to ear and going volume up or down but in some points of the call I have really hard time hearing what they're saying. Then it goes away and I can hear well again. It's not so much volume issue rather than the call getting really unclear.

Adobe Flash Player Audio Issue

I use Chrome, Safari, Mizolla firefox, and IE on my computer. The currrent version of Adobe Flash Player is loaded on to all of them. It has operated without problems. Then suddenly the audio has stopped working. Why would this happen, and how do I get the audio to resume?

So far as I know (not that I know much!) there wouldn't be
anything in the
new Flash beta player to fix this. You will get better
results, however, if
you reduce the quality settings for your published files.
Doing so should
reduce the published file size, making better use of limited
network
resources.

When streaming Vid with flash player, audio and video are not in sync

With Flash 11.6, audio and video are not in sync. Video is slower. Using Firefox 20.0.1

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]]

Flash Player Video Performance issue in IE 9.0.124

So everything was going fine until we got all users to update
their player to the new 9.0.124 version. We host HD videos on our
site and people love the quality we provide. Well at least until
now. Videos started to stutter while download is still in progress.
That is once the video is completely downloaded the stuttering
stops. This is seen only is IE (on Windows). On FireFox and Safari
(on Windows) this issue is not seen at all.
Now we have a ExternalInterface call back in the download
progress event that calls into a javascript method on the page.
This javascript method simply displays the information it gets as a
parameter. No complicated or tim consuming work is being done here.
After doing some tests we find that if we remark out the call
to ExternalInterface.addCallback the stuttering stops happening. So
it looks to me like something has changed (in this new version) in
the way the ExternalInterface stuff works, to the extent that it
hampers video playback.

Bentley,
Don't mean to shoot the messenger...so please take this in
good faith.
I'd gladly log a bug if anything was ever done about it. I've
been logging bugs with Adobe on Flash player and Flex for two years
but these bugs are still outstanding and deferred to the next
release :). Releases come and go but the issues are outstanding.
These issues are show stoppers for a lot of people.
I see no point in me taking the extra effort if nothing is
going to be done about it. Other software companies I work with
respond immediately.
Others, won't see the issue unless they're doing what we are
:). Things were working fine until we upgraded to the new player.
To me that's an issue that needs to be addressed no?
I'd gladly provide you with two links, one that shows this
issue and one that does not if it helps verify the problem.

No Flash Player Audio on YouTube

I have W7, MIE9. I have no audio on any youtube selection. I have uninstalled/reinstalled flashplayer numerous times with no success. I just went through all the suggestions on Adobe's website with no success. When I select youtube I momentarily get a msg saying I need Flash Player to view this site. My email is [email protected]

To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
Flash   Player version
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:
Windows
Mac
Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player. I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform. If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing. You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.
HTML5     video
Non-HTML5 video
If audio won't work with either link, I'd suggest taking a look at your Windows sound mixer and verify that Internet Explorer isn't muted.

Flash Player audio setting in Win'7 Volume Control

OS is Win'7, up to date. Flash Player is 11.4. Browsers Firefox 15.0.1, Chrome 22, IE 9. When playing a video on a website, the Flash Player volume setting in Volume Control (Windows Mixer) is set to the maximum, same as my speaker volume. How can I permanently set Flash Player's volume to a setting lower than that of my speakers?

This is a known issue in Firefox and Flash Player 11.3 or higher, but our testing (and I just personally re-tested it on my Win7 machine to double-check) indicates that this works as expected in Chrome and Internet Explorer.
There's a public bug tracking the Firefox issue here, and we have a corresponding internal bug assigned to an engineer for investigation:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/#bug=3210602
1.) Use Chrome or Internet Explorer with the latest Flash Player from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
2.) Revert to the most recent version of Flash Player 10.3 (Currently 10.3.183.25), which you can download here:
     http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
     Before reverting, you'll need to uninstall the current version of Flash Player first:
     http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
If you *are* having the same problems with Chrome or MSIE, can you give me a clear, step-by-step description of how to reproduce the issue? It's possible that we're doing something differently, or there's another component like audio drivers in-play.
Thanks!

Flash player audio problem mac book pro due to new 11.7.700.169 update

I just recently updated my adobe flash player when i load a video my audio stops as video continues I'm using a macbook pro this is really irrtating because i edit and stream videos for my occupation and audio keeps cutting out is thier any way i could go back to the other flash player or is thier another flash player download besides adobe that works fine?

I started having all kinds of freezing/crashing issues with both safari and ff on my macbook pro, os x 10.6.8. Then I even started having trouble starting up and shutting down. I wasn't getting any error messages and after trouble-shooting everything I could think of in my hardware and finally realized it started happening after I downloaded this latest update. I tried every suggested fix I could find and finally uninstalled it, reinstalled 10.3, and ran a disk repair. That was a couple days ago and seems to have worked, but what a pain.

Flash Player-MP3 Compatibility Issue

Does Flash Player 10 hav any compatibility issues in Playing CBR MP3. The reason why I am asking is because of the observation which I made (Given Below)
I am right now working on a module "Live Streaming Codecs" for an e-learning application. I used Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder to encode my Live Class using VP6/MP3 & streamed it using Flash media server 3.5. During Testing I observerd a few hitches and breaks in 'Audio' (Streamed at 56kbps @44.1Khz Sample Rate encoded using ) in the client machine. However the video was fine. The Flash player version is 10. The same problem was there on all clients. But if I used AAC for audio (Encoded using VLC & streamed using Wowza Media Server) the audio was fine. So does this prove that Flash Player does have some Compatibility Issues with MP3 or is it some problem with my settings?
Please help me out to resolve this issue !

Please some body ... help me out....

Flash player audio chirps and video delays

When playing recorded videos the audio "chirps" and sounds
like a tape deck with the speed varying. The video is anywhere from
1 to 3 seconds behind the audio.

Found this in Techsmith's Camtasia forum, dated 1-10-08,
posted by one of the Camtasia developers:
"We've also been working with Adobe Flash Player TechSupport,
who has been very responsive and helpful. They have confirmed the
bug, and escalated it as a high priority issue to their engineers.
We're hoping that it can be fixed in a future version of the Flash
Player."
FWIW.

Serious QT Player audio offset issue OS X/Win

Hello,
we are an animation studio for tv commercials in Germany working for advertisement agencies with over 15 years experience. The whole branch is mainly using Quicktime movies for presentations and approvals.
Within our last project we figured out again that there's a serious audio offset issue by Quicktime which will give the whole approval and playout process a headache. Usually we encode in H.264 and these movies will be uploaded to a website or sent by email.
The issue I am talking about is a very little desync of video and audio. We are talking about 3 frames delay of the picture. We found out that this is caused by the player only.
Example: we have a picture sequence in After Effect and the audio file delivered by the sound studio which is perfectly mixed to the animation sequence. The After Effects RAM preview will play the whole movie perfectly as approved at the sound studio. When you export this to a Quicktime movie the Quicktime player result is different. Exactly 3 frames. Adjusting the audio track 3 frames forward will give you the right result.
The main problem now is that you need to offset 3 frames to get sure that everyone will experience the correct audio/video on an Apple and Windows system (both tested here). For a playout to tape (station copy) or encoding in Flash, YouTube, Vimeo you need to deliver the version without the audio offset.
If you use the 3 frames offset version for encoding in Flash, YouTube or Vimeo you will get a wrong result. This time the picture is running 3 frames behind. Playing the original Quicktime with another player like AFX RAM Player, VLC or Media Player Classic will show the correct result.
We also downloaded a couple of Trailers and compared the original with a 3 frames audio offset version. The original ones look wrong in QT and the wrong ones look right. It's a player issue what has to be fixed asap by Apple. The question now is: where can I contact a qualified Apple support who will understand the problem? This has to be moved to the Apple development team.
We googled the net and found discussions about the issue. But noone so far could work out that it's a Apple Player bug and not caused by other software. In one thread some users were sure that e.g. After Effects is exporting the wrong movie. It was recommended to move the audio in After Effects to get the right result. If you do so and believe and trust in the Quicktime Player you will export the wrong result and your TV Commercial's picture is 3 frames desynced to audio. Honestly this 3 frames offset is hard to recognize depending on the movie. But it's definitely an error what could cause a desaster if a commercial will be in a bugged version on-air.
Any comments and questions are welcome. Feel free to contact me by email: [email protected]

1. Check the cycle count of the battery against the rated life for your model. The battery may be due for replacement. If the power adapter is connected almost all the time, the battery may need replacing even though the cycle count is not too high.
2. Follow these instructions, or these for OS X 10.8 or earlier.
3. In the Energy Saver preference pane, uncheck the box marked
Enable Power Nap while on battery power
if it's shown (it may not be.)
4. You can also try resetting the SMC.
5. Make sure your system is up to date in Software Update.
6. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

Flash Player sound quality problems

From couple days I have prolems with all materials played from web with flash player (for example: YouTube, Vimeo). Every time I watch a movie sound have strange "clicks" / noise. Something like overdrive signal. This become more audiable when in full screen mode.
I've tested MP3, FLACs, MPEG4, h.264 and other media played on my hard drive - no such issue - only video played trough flashplayer on the web.
Any idea what can I do with that? I've got latest 10.3 flash instaled.

Is it possible to have e version of flash player like silverlight which give thepossibility to hear audio on whole 5.1 system?
