Flash player keeps making a constant plopping noice

Hello,
I have an issue with Adobe Flash Player.
Today I was watching a youtube video like normal when all of a sudden, something on my pc started making a weird plopping sound. I didn't know where it came from, restarted the computer and it stopped... untill I opened firefox and went to youtube.
Confused, I started searching for the sound and noticed in the sound mixer that the Flash Player was making the sound, even with no video's or anything playing. I restart the pc again and the same thing happened.
I searched the internet far ans wide and the only solution I found was to disable Flash Player (which I did and it did work but that's no way to live) or to use a earlier Flash version. Again, I tried that. I completely deleted my currend version and installed Flash Player 11.7. And it worked! for about 5 minutes before the irritating sound started again. Now I'm at a complete loss of what to do.
The sound happens on every video or website that uses flash and is AMAZINGLY ANNOYING. It's driving me insane.
So I come here, begging for help. If anyone knows a solution, please tell! I would be forever greatfull!

You're infected with adware.
It uses Flash to make the noises.

  • My macbook wont boot up, black screen and the cd drive keeps making a constant sound. What to do?

    My macbook wont boot up. When I turn it on, the screen turns black right away and the cd/dvd drive keeps making a constant "ejecting" sound.
    The strange thing though is that once in a while starts up propperly, but suddely goes black again (after a min. or two), and the ejecting sound comes back. What to do, and yh, I've never done a back up so would it be possible to take out the HD and regain whats in there?
    Any help would be appriciated!

    Hello. Try resetting the PRAM and SMC first.

  • My adobe flash player keeps crashing. Why?

    I use Mozilla Firefox exclusively as my browser. When I am connected to Facebook and playing their casino games, the Adobe Flash player keeps randomly crashing. When it crashes, it locks up the computer and I have to shut down and reopen the browser. Recently, an information box has been opening up in the upper left corner of the screen called the Adobe Flash Player action box or something like that. The context is filled with lots of computer jargon I don't understand. At the bottom of the box there are 2 options to pick from, either dismiss or continue. Most of the time the screen freezes up before I've had the chance to pick one. After I go to the Windows task manager and shut down the boxes that were open, I get the normal gray "Adobe Flash Player has crashed" screen. The really odd thing is that there is no prompt allowing me to send a crash report to Mozilla. I have uninstalled and completely reinstalled the latest version of Mozilla Firefox. Just in case these might be a problem, I have the following 3 "add-ons" loaded in to the browser: Quick Time Plug-in 7.7.6 7.7.6.0, Shockwave Flash 16.0.0.305, and Shockwave for Director 12.1.7.157. As well, in case they might be the problem, I have the following 2 programs installed into my computer are: Adobe Flash Player 16 NPAPI and Adobe Shockwave Player 12.1. FYI: I am running Windows 8.1 64 bit. Hopefully I have given you enough information to make an assessment. If you need anything from me, please let me know. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

    Crashes or other problems with certain multimedia content in Firefox (such as YouTube videos and Flash animations or games) can often be resolved by performing the steps in these Knowledge Base articles:
    * [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
    * [[Adobe Flash plugin has crashed - Prevent it from happening again]]

  • Why does flash player keep sending update requests when I have already installed latest version?

    Flash player keeps sending update requests and when I try to install it tells me I need to close internet explorer when it isn't open. How do I make it stop?

    Right click ANY flash content and choose "Global Settings" Under Advanced, you can check the version and set updating preferences.

  • Why does Flash Player keep sending me notifications to update to the version I already have?

    Why does Flash Player keep sending me notifications to update to the version I already have? The result is always an error message telling me that the version is already running. (Desktop Computer; Windows Vista OS; Firefox; Adobe Flash Version 11.8.800.94)

    I don't know; can you post a screenshot of such a notification?
    Did you update both ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and plugin (for Firefox)?

  • Adobe Flash Player keeps crashing in Google Chrome

    I am using Google Chrome and every time I open the browser Adobe Flash Player keeps crashing.  I have Windows 7.  Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    Hello,
    Just chiming in to say that I am experiencing the same issues. 
    using Win 7, Firefox 19.0, Flash 11.6.602.168
    Tried the DRM fix,
    Tried uninstalling Firefox and Flash, restarting Win 7, reinstalling Firefox and Flash
    Tried reinstalling display and my NVidia drivers.
    Still getting "Sorry we were unable to stream this video" message.
    Also having problems on Chrome.
    Some troubleshooting threads suggest to go to chrome://plugins and disable the chrome flash player.
    When i disable the chrome flash player and try to play an amazon instant video, I get the "Sorry we were unable to stream this video" message.
    When i disable the system flash player and try to play an amazon instant video, the video plays but 'stutters.'  The audio is fine, but the video alternately pauses and plays for a second or two over and over again.
    AIV works just fine on my iPad.
    For everyone viewing, please take 30 secs to create an account and let Adobe know that their product is causing problems for your Amazon service.
    This needs to get fixed asap!
    Thanks
    V.

  • My flash player keeps crashing on a lot of sites i go to

    my flash player keeps crashing on a lot of sites i go to especially ebay and it says adobe flash player crashed click here to reload. this never happened on my xp os but i recently installed win 7 64 bit on my pc but i also did a clean install with a brand new hd so how can i prevent this from happening

    Download the following files by right clicking the links and selecting "Save target as" (IE) or "Save Link as"(Firefox).
    Flash Player Uninstaller
    Shockwave Player Uninstaller
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Shockwave Player 12 FULL Installer
    Save the files to your Downloads folder - DO NOT run anything yet.
    Reboot your system.
    BEFORE opening anything, go to the Downloads folder and run the UNINSTALLERS to remove all instances of Flash Player and Shockwave.
    Run the Shockwave Installer first, then visit http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFull&P2_Plat form=Win32&P3_Browser_Version=MSIE with Internet Explorer, (there isn't a direct download link - sorry) and install the Shockwave FULL installer for IE.
    Next, run the Flash Player ActiveX installer, and then the Flash Player (other browsers) Installer.
    Lastly, see:Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer  and: ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer  to make 100% sure that Flash Player is enabled and NOT being blocked by ActiveX controls.

  • Hey! My flash player keeps crashing whenever I open any kind of website with any flash contend.

    Hey! My flash player keeps crashing whenever I open any kind of website with any flash contend. Videos won't load, moving advertisements, all that stuff. Its also not just Firefox, videos don't work in IE or Chrome. I'm completely updated on all the plugins as well. Thanks for any help you may have!

    IE uses a different version of Flash (ActiveX version) than Firefox and Chrome use (the Plugin version). You might want to try the Adobe Flash forums for help with those Flash problems. <br />
