Flash player opens muted by default on all browsers

In the past couple days I have experienced an annoying issue where flash player opens muted on all browsers. This is WIndows 7 64-bit OS, the latest Flash Players, the latest browsers (IE, Firefox and Opera). I can unmute but having to do so every time I open a new video is DANG annoying! Is there any registry or hidden config settings that controls the opening state of audio for the flash player that I can modify...I have never seen this in years of using Flash Player...help please...
After reading more discussions and testing flash player on other sites that stream flash its obvious that the issues stems from YouTube...but this only coincides with the latest release of Flash Player. This indicates that Flash Player is allowing stream content to manipulate controls on the player...so how can we prevent this????

Google has acknowledged a "glitch" in their YouTube code that is causing this. There is NOTHING that Flash Player has to do with it, and there is NOTHING that Flash Player can fix in YouTube's code. Google has stated that they are working on the fix this week.

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.

Flash player crashes on multiple websites on all browsers

I was viewing www.liveleak.com watching many videos perfectly fine. I left to take a break for awhile and now any time i attempt to watch a video it will crash. The whole page will load up except the flash player. As soon as it attempts to load up the flash player whichever browser i am using will crash. No video on www.liveleak.com will load for me. Its the same with some other websites (youtube works fine for some reason) Ive tried everything to fix it. Ive tried
- Re-installing flash
- Trying multiple internet browsers
- Going into the flash settings_manager and adjusting multiple settings
The only way ive fixed this problem (i had it in the past) was to format my harddrive + re-install windows. I dont wana do this again!!!
Any ideas what is going wrong?

I am back from my break (admittedly, it was a short break), but I can still view videos on liveleak.com; try a complete uninstall as follows
download the FP uninstaller from http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157 (save to disk);
download the offline installers
for Internet Explorer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe (save to disk);
for all other browsers http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe (save to disk);
close all browser windows, run the downloaded uninstaller, followed by the appropriate installer(s).
Does it work again now?

Flash Player 11.6.r602 crashes in all browsers

Running on windows vista box. In all browsers I repeatedly get Flash Player crash messages, appently caused by the Data Protection Execution Protection service closing it.
I've tried turning off DEP for flash and Windows won't let me.

Thanks for your prompt and helpful reply.....
When dealing with such a large problem with frequent FF lockups the temptation is to lump all information in an attempt to solve. LOL
Chasing multiple threads to help solve the problem may be helpful to the developers but it takes far too much time following and posting in each thread. As you can see it's taken a couple of days to get back to this post.
First thing we did is dump cache and cookies both through the interface and then manually in the profile. We changed the version of Flash installed manually and even changed the version of FF. There are many "flash" enabled pages we encountered which caused the lockup.....so MSN is not specifically the issue.
But when Flash is removed or disabled the browser no longer locks up.....suffice to say we get an error when visiting a website with flash content on it.
That is why I chose to post here as the problem is directly attributable to Flash in FF on all of our machines.

Flash player opening in new window even for flash in websites

Ok, so ive searched the net and not found a single person with my problem, if its something easy ive missed im sorry. Flash player opens in a new window for every bit of flash. Like if I go to hulu and start to watch a movie it will not load in browser but open a new window on the desktop and begin playing. If I go to a website that has a flash based set up like the air forces website just the backround will load and the flash thats supposed to be on the page tries to load in a new window like hulu but since its not a movie it doesnt work. It does this for everything flash, meaning if I go to a flash heavy website I see only the html parts and end up with tons of blank flash windows in my task bar I cant bring up. Im running firefox but it does it for ie too so I dont think its a browser issue.

That resolved the issue. Thank you so much.

HI again i was wrong the problem is persistent. It did not have to do anything with clearing the internet cache.

Flash Player opens several windows.

Flash Player opens several windows and does not work. Uninstalled yesterday downloaded new rebooted and reinstalled. Same thing. Windows 7 Pro, Firefox 17.0.1 Usually leaves a blank window upper left on my desktop.

Try resetting your Firefox profile (if you have't already). Instructions to do this are partway down in this FAQ.

I'm having an issue on All ADOBE reader/flasher player opening window on Mac OSX Lion

I have tons of error when i'm openning Adobe reader/Adober flash player/Adobe application manager. When i went check out the Library/Adobe appiication support, it's missing and i can't get it to open. What are the solution to make this work. Cause i really wanna to download Adobe photoshop trial install and open it, but i keep on getting error all the time. What can i do to resolve this issue on my mac osx Lion 10.7.5 version? Any suggestion?

Could you try switching back to the PPAPI version of the plugin to see if that helps (reversing the steps outlined in the FAQ below)? From what we've learned, this only effects the NPAPI version and the PPAPI version should display fonts correctly.

We are working with Google to get this fixed asap.

My Adobe Flash Player won't install. ( At all )

So when I try to install Adobe Flash Player, everytime, on every user on my computer, it always pops up when i launch it, but nothing happens.
It is just a boring gray screen.
I need Flash Player to play like all the games in the world ( exaggeration ) and I want it to work. Please just tell me what is wrong and what to do to fix it.
Here is a pic of what happens.
Just please tell me what is wrong. Thanks.

Okay. Go to http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
From the
Downloads
Flash Player 16.0.0.305 (Win and Mac)
Locate and click on the Mac OS X (intel) Download DMG Installer. User Finder to open your downloads folder. Locate "install_flash_player_16_osx.dmg" This file should be 15.6 MB with a Feb 3 date. Double click on the file to install.
Please let me know what happens after that

Flash player still not working after following all discussion advice

Requested information: I have Internet explorer 9/ using 32 bit on 64 bit computer/windows 7/flash player 10.2 version
I contracted what my husband called a "rider" virus when I opened a knitting pattern of all things and if I understood it correctly was one of the anti-malware viruses talked about. My husband was able to remove the virus but like others have said here, my flash player will not work. My computer is only 3 months old!
Here is what we have done:
1: First removed all flash player and shock wave
2: I have run a full scan with my Mcafee program, then ran a full scan and quick scan too with my malwarebytes program. Everything in both is now clean. I then rebooted (I also even tried doing all of this in safe mode too with nothing changing)
3: came online and read a bazillion threads about others problems and tried every suggestion pretty much including those below
4: husband checked the kill bit (d27 thingy) and it was not there
5: reinstalled flash player and shock after running the scans and though they show up in my programs when I looked at the add ons as suggest to others the
neither shockwave or Flash Object was there
6: uninstalled everything again
So now I am back to where I started with nothing installed because I still have an issue and we don't know what it is. I truly appreciate your help in any way as it is frustrating that none of the other suggestions have helped.
this may not as my grandma used to say have anything to do with the price of rice in china, but we do keep getting a short freeze up on the computer followed by a message that the display driver stopped responding and recovered then it works again, but it does happen fairly frequently and this has been since the virus. I am showing everything is clean though with regards to virus scans and malware spyware scans.

Just when I thought I would finally find the answer you sent a message offline, which didn't help me a bit.
I have the same problem. My wife got a virus and I was able to uninstall it by poking around. After killing the virus IE would not run. I found some messages on the internet which enabled me to solve that problem by making some registry changes. However, I still have not been able to get IE to run flash. I do have it running in FireFox.
What was the step that you sent in private email that enabled him top solve the problem?
Thanks

Flash player hanging up and crashing on all web browsers. Problem turned out to be AMD drivers

I have been having a problem running Flash Player, green screens, hang ups, crashes etc on my machine. I tried various solutions and every major and some not so major web browsers all to no avail. I tried reinstalling my windows 8.1 no good also tried running 8 and 7 all 64 versions. No go I came a cross a post about a problem with Flash and AMD that seems to recur every nown and then. I have a AMD HD 6670 1 gig GDDR5 PCI-E 2 card so I tried going back through AMD drivers untill I was able to get it to function properly. Finally I ended up using the driver from Dec 2013 13-12_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc_whql along with the AMD Media Codec Package from Aug 2012 12-8_vista_win7_win8_32-64_xcode Flash is now playing with no problems. I thought I would share the solution I used in case it might help others.

I haven't run across this, though I did see a Firefox fileupload bug yesterday (https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=2980517). Would you mind opening a new bug on this over at bugbase.adobe.com? Please include URLs where you're seeing this behavior and we'll investigate further.

Flash Player Settings do not show me all options

Hello Community,
Well first of all my information.
     Flash Player version: 11.9.900.117
     My OS                     : Windows 8 (64-bit)
     Browser                   : Firefox
I am trying to use this website here: http://coursework.wsistudents.com/lms/lms.aspx (You cannot open this page). It needs Flash Player and I need to change some settings. But when I pull up the settings it does not show me the tabs like Local Storage or Privacy. I then tried to add the webpage manually but it does not like the URL of the website and does not save it.
Does anybody know what I have to do? It works fine under Windows 7 but I am really struggeling here.
Thank you

Alright thank you. Now I am able to add "coursework.wsistudents.com" to the list. I also was able to change the amount of Local Storage the website can use. But it still does not accept that this website is allowed to use the microphone. Everytime I try and use it there is the error that the website is not allowed to use the microphone.
As you can see I added the website and it says it is allowed to use it. But at the end it does not "realize" it...
Here is a picture of the settings it gives me. Earlier on Windows 7 there were more options which I cannot see here.
I thought it is suppose to look like this:
I hope these pictures help a little bit. If you need more let me know. Sorry for the blurry pictures.

Flash player opens inside WMP inside ie8 browser causing dual soundtracks and off buffering

I recently bought a new computer.

other vids use the correct player but i think i have screwed up settings.
now that its in 2 player module things itsscrews up bufferig,sound and general playing.
could it just be a embedding falt on their page
