Flash sound skipping problem

When using Firefox 3.0.8 - as the site starts up, the music plays a couple of notes of song 1, stops and then restarts song 1; giving a "skipping" effect.
When using IE 7.0.5730.13- as the site starts up, the music plays a couple of notes of song 1, stops and then starts song 2; giving a worse "skipping" effect.
This only happens when the site starts up. Once the music is playing it cycles through the songs just fine. The play/pause button works fine too.
What am I doing that is causing this behavior? Help?
I am using Flash CS3, ActionScript 2.0, the songs are in the same folder as the .swf and are named music1.mp3, music2.mp3, music3.mp3.
Here is what I have in frame 2 on the script layer:
var mysong = new Sound();
_root.mysong.onLoad = function (loadedOK) {
if(loadedOK) {
    _root.mysong.start(0,1);
_root.mysong.onSoundComplete = function () {
    nextSong(1);
currentSong = 0;
maxSongs = 3;
function nextSong (changeVal) {
    currentSong += changeVal;
    if (currentSong > maxSongs) {
        currentSong = 1;
    _root.mysong.loadSound("music"+currentSong+".mp3", true);
nextSong(1);
Code in frame 1 (play) of the volume control movie:
stop();
_root.mysong.start(playHeadPos/1000,1);
Code in frame 2 (pause) of the volume control movie:
stop();
playHeadPos = _root.mysong.position;
_root.mysong.stop();

frame 2 only plays once?

Sound skips in Safari and Chrome

I have a problem with sound skipping in Safari and Google Chrome. Whenever I am playing music or watching a movie in these browsers the sound is fine, but if I open another application, select another application, or if the computer goes to screensaver the sound skips. This has been happening for quite awhile now and it is very frustrating. Any suggestions? Thanks

No Flash Sound on YouTube

HP Pavilion Entertainment PC dv9700
Service Tag dv9910us
Window 7 Ultimate 32-bit.
Get no Flash sound on YouTube or CNN. Get good sound from YouTube videos saved to hard drive by Realplayer. Then the saved YouTube video plays everywhere: Windows Media Player, VLC and Realplayer. I recall the YouTube sound disappeared in the last weekend of Nov 2011 when Flash was automatically updated. At first it was intermittent and then silent forever.
So far. No luck. I deleted and reinstalled Adobe Flash. Even tried the Flash Uninstall Utility. Actually I deleted everything with Adobe listed on it vias Control Panel Uninstall. I deleted the sound driver for the Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221 and reinstalled. I even unpdated it. I consecutively deleted and downloaded the latest versions of IE, FireFox & Chrome. I tried Microsoft Fix-It.
In Device Manager, there are two yellow warnings. NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller (Code 10) and USB Host Controller (Code 43). I don't know if one of these can be the issue.
One weirdo. Sound worked for 30 seconds one night the first week of March when my wife innocently started to watch YouTube. When I realized it and called it to her attention, the sound disappeared. Go figure!
I'm thinking of restoring Windows 7, but that will create a lot of work for me.
Any new information on a fix?
With so many complaints -- it seems -- everywhere, I'm surprised someone like Adobe has fixed the problem?
Naive question: Are we locked into Adobe Flash Player for YouTube or CNN?
Thanks.

ITunes skipping problem - another user

This post is to let Apple know there is another user having an issue. I installed v7 and had a severe skipping problem but no lost music. I installed v7.0.1 and it reduced the issue but did not fix it. I have tried the recommendations from Apple (no plug ins, changed QuickTime sound out rate, increased volume, turned off sound enhancer, updated DirectX, updated sound card driver) to no avail.
I always install with anti-virus turned off and I am the administrator of my computer. My platform is a Dell Precision Workstation 340, pentium 4, 1.5 GB RAM, Windows XP Pro SP2. The sound card is Creative Sound Blaster Live Value (installed by Dell).

Skipping problems in 5.5

We have been using Audition 5.5 for over a year without issue until the last couple of months. We use Audition to record two-hour programs, and without having made any changes to the computer (and our IT department has checked it for basic diagnostic issues, updated the BIOS, checked for viruses, etc.) it has been consistently been producing files that will skip terribly during playback.
At first it was dropping a lot of samples and causing the file to actually be shorter than the recording time (by about 2 - 3 minutes out of two hours). After we checked the machine for viruses or other conflicts, I went through the troubleshooting document online and adjusted the latency setting (we only have MME available for the driver), as well as reset the temp folder as suggested. It seemed to help to increase the latency to 300ms (making it shorter made the problem much worse).
After making those changes, we now have files that are the correct length, no detected dropped samples, but the skipping problem is still there -- so rather than missing samples it sounds like it is alternately speeding up and skipping over parts, although the timer on the player doesn't skip around in time at all.
Here's our system info:
Windows 7 Enterprise
Service Pack 1
Intel Pentium D CPU 3.40GHz
2.00 GB RAM
32 bit Operating System
43.5GB free storage space
Any help appreciated! Is it possible that the RAM or the sound card are bad?
Thanks-
Erica

Your clue here is that changing the latency settings makes a considerable difference. On a system with a well-behaving disc drive, the latency setting really isn't too crucial until you get down to relatively small figures. This is pretty much down to the Hard Disk, I fear, especially if the system was also having trouble writing to it correctly (mistimed recording). This is pretty much prioritised when it's happening, and if the disc can't even cope with that, something's seriously getting in the way of it.
If you want to do an experiment to prove this, then get a SSD in an external carrier, connect it via a USB2 port and try recording to that, and see what happens then...
In an ideal situation, you'd have at least three separate drives in a DAW - one for the OS, one for all the temp files, and another one for work file storage. Working like this smooths the operation of everything quite considerably.
But as ryclark says, if you are trying to do this with a network drive, then all bets are off. And even though 2GB of RAM isn't exactly a lot, I don't think that either the RAM or your sound device is implicated in this. Audition's use of RAM isn't exactly heavy, after all.

UT2004 enhancement pack not that great, sound skipping

I have a slight problem with this enhancement pack. In general i like the new sounds very much, they are more detailed and punchier, but problem is that half of sounds is just skipped. And it's very annoying when you just don't hear any fire sounds from rifles, especially machine gun and pulse gun (plasma gun) are extremelly sensiti've to this, though lightning gun tends to "lose" the sound too. Basically all weapons do, just these above do it more often.
I have X-Fi Xtreme Music, using latest drivers 2.09.000, have installed latest OpenAL driver, all options are correctly set in UT2004 (HW+EAX, reverse unchecked, System Driver unchecked).
I also checked UT2004.ini and it has 20 voices enabled. Thing that bothers me is "channels" setting which is set to 24. What is this setting meant for?
Also how can i get this sound skipping(missing sounds) problem fixed?
Thx

Soundblaster are total losers. Their latest driver didn't change anything since the last one which is almost a year ago. I sent an email to the tech support and since he was too dumb to give me any answers, he pretended that my warrenty was outdated so he couldn't help me... whatever god****it. Sound doesn't crack but keep skipping in EVERY recent OpenAL games such as Quake 4, Prey, UT2004 "with new patch". Here is what I wrote:
Hello, since I'm a fan of Unreal Tournament, I've downloaded the "enhencement" patch from Soundblaster a few houres ago here. soundblaster.com/products/x-fi/technology/ut2004/
Like always, soundblaster always make things appear like if they were godlike. The description is totaly fake. Here is what I gotta say about it:
- FPS Improvement? Didn't notice anything better since I was already pretty over 60fps and I doubt that it's a huge improvement anyway.
2- There is no such things about hearing bullets falling on the ground. I don't know if they take us for idiots but all they did is modify the sound of the primary fire from the Minigun to make it look like if we could hear falling bullets.
3- They only modified weapon sounds and for those that are diffrent, they are extremly worse.
4- There is nothing that feels more surround "I have a Creative Inspire T7700 7.". From the test that I've done, they only made the weapon sound louder to make it feel like if it would be in surround. You would already hear them from diffrent channels before but since they weren't as loud it was not as evident.
5- I was starting to think with Quake 4 and a little also with Prey, that it was developpers of games that were too dumb to make a working OpenAL but now when I use OpenAL on this new patch of UT2004, it bugs just like Quake 4 so it looks like the dumb*ss is soundblaster. You can clearly notice sound skipping/cutting when firing with double assault riffle and few other weapons.
6- In the UT2004.ini if you change the default "Channel = 24" to 28, you get no sound at all. Then if you put it at 64, it just seem worse than 24 so how the hell are we suppose to get 28 voices with this new patch?! Before that patch, I had no problem in 64 though 64 sounded the same as 32.
7- The dynamic music seemed to be a cool feature on "papers" but in-game it is acctualy just annoying. Yes we can disable it but why the hell haven't soundblaster made a checkbox in the option? Messing in console with commands is annoying and impossible for the novice user.
8- All the above lead me to wonder if we ABSOLUTLY need an X-Fi WITH X-Ram in order to have no issue. Even though Quake 4 is as buggy with or without X-Ram.
Please I'd like to have some feedback/answers to this. Thanks in advance.

Help: Flash 9 - Video problem - OS X

OS X 10.4.8
I installed Flash 9 today, since then no more Google video.
Browser crashes each time. Also with other sites that use Google
video. Tried uninstall, and install Flash 8: same problem. Cannot
get back to previous situation where everything worked fine.
Also problem with msnbc, no video, claims plugin missing.
Youtube works fine.

Hi,
folder deleted, after reinstall only the two flash files in
the folder. Same problem.
Worse, now Google Finance also hangs up. Spinning wheel of
death, requires force quit. BTW, this is the same for Firefox,
Safari, and Camino.
If there is no solution, how can I get back to my previous
system. The problem started when the Charlie Rose website required
me to update flash. Before the update everything worked like a
charm. Now problems everywhere.

Skipping problems on Satellite M645-S4050

Hello,
I have a Satellite M645-S4050 and I I bought it in July of this year.
I've noticed that if there is something playing on my computer, whether music (on itunes) or a video, and the laptop is moved (even if the desk it's sitting on is bumped slightly or I put my elbow down too hard) it skips like the old walkmen used to. Once or twice it has even gotten stuck like a phonograph. I brought it in to where I bought it and the guy said that it was the way the new software was made in a lot of the faster hard drives and the only way to do anything would be to buy a more compact hard drive and transfer everything.
But I notice it getting worse and I am disinclined to believe him because the point of a laptop is to have a modile computer. I cannot even listen to music or play minesweeper in the car because the skipping is so bad it messes with how the computer functions. Is this true and is there anything I can do to fix it?
Thanks,
na

Hi na,
I agree with as*** and if you have HDD protection utility, you should be able to reproduce this issue: Just move your notebook a little bit. You should notice this skipping problem again.
As far as I know in options of this tool, you can change the sensitivity. Choose a lower value, maybe it helps! :)

Quantum TV skipping problem fixed

Over the last few days the skipping problem seems to be resolved. At least it seems that Verizon listens to the customers unlike Comcast.

Wish I could agree. It was terrible last night while watching hockey on NESN on our Quantum box. Was doing the stutter-step about every five minutes. Tried reboot during one of the breaks between periods to no avail. I should have tried watching the recording instead of live but didn't think of it at the time.

It also takes time for the photos to be transferred out of your iPhone and into Photo stream on Apple's iCloud servers.
Note that this can't happen if your iPhone is not connected to a WiFi network:
When you enable My Photo Stream on your devices, all new photos you take or import to those devices will be automatically added to your photo stream.
iOS devices: New photos you take are automatically uploaded to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and are connected to Wi-Fi. My Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections.
Macs: Any new photos you import to iPhoto or Aperture begin uploading automatically when you have a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. Or you can change your iPhoto or Aperture preferences so that only photos you manually add to My Photo Stream are uploaded.
PC with iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later: Open a Windows Explorer window and under Favorites select iCloud Photos if you are using iCloud Control Panel 3.0 (or Photo Stream if you are using 2.0 to 2.1.2). Open My Photo Stream. Click the "Add photos" button. Select the photos to import to My Photo Stream, then click Open.

Sound device problem in ZONE

I created a solaris zone for my desktop use, but the sound device was not avaialbe. I tried to export it from the global zone:
device
match: /dev/sound/*
then rebooted the zone, login it, found there were several files added in /dev:
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           7 Sep 17 14:50 /dev/audio -> sound/0
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          10 Sep 17 14:50 /dev/audioctl -> sound/0ctl
crw-------   1 root     root      34, 0 Sep 17 14:50 /dev/sound/0
crw------- 1 root     root      34, 1 Sep 17 14:50 /dev/sound/0ctlThe problem is: how to change the /dev/sound/* files for all users to read and write, permanently?
I tried the following methods but failed:
1. Change manually these files' mode to a+rw as root. But once I logged out the zone or rebooted the zone, the changes were lost.
2. Create a script in /etc/init.d/ and link it to /etc/rc3.d/ to let it auto execcute when boot, as below:
#!/sbin/sh
/usr/bin/chmod a+rw /dev/sound/*
echo `date '+%D %H:%M:%S' > /var/tmp/enable.audio.log
ls -le /dev/sound/* >> /var/tmp/enable.audio.logthe content of /var/tmp/enable.audio.log is something like:
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     root      34, 0 9月 17 14:50:30 2005 /dev/sound/0
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     root      34, 1 9月 17 14:50:30 2005 /dev/sound/0ctlBut oddly, the permissions of these files would always be changed back to the original state soon, automatically.
3. I added an entry in /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root to change the permissions every 10 mins, and it did work, strangely. However I think it's not a good method, because I have to wait for 10 minutes before I can login it (if I login the zone before the permissions were changed, the sound device will never work)
Thanks in advance.

It's probably /etc/logindevperm that's fighting you. Read the comments in that file, then you can modify /dev/sound in it.
The idea is that only the user logged in on the console would normally have access to the audio device and the frame buffer, so the permissions are reset at login.
If you're having folks login through a separate zone, this changes that assumption.

Extract audio from .fls (Flash Sound Bundle File)

Greetings!
I would like to ask if it's possible to unbundle a Flash
Sound Bundle file? I've downloaded FlashLiteBundler.exe to check if
it can also unbundle, but it could not. A client wants to reuse
their audio files from a previous project, but alas, they could
only give us files of .fls format.
Any ideas on how I can go about this?
Peace!

Hi kglad!
Thanks for the reply. :)
1) The sad part is that Flash Lite 1.1 Sound Bundler only
appears as a flat square with the words "Drop Sound Files Here." A
few audio files are supported, such as .mid and you just drag the
audio onto the square, until a window appears which says, "MIDI
file __.mid added, size ___ KB" There are no other controls there
except the Delete, Clear All and Save Bundle buttons.
2) When I try dragging an existing .fls file (the one from
the client), it says "Unknown sound format, file not added."
3) When I try dragging an .fls file which I made myself using
Flash Lite 1.1 Sound Bundler (FlashLiteBunder.exe), an "OK" message
box appears, which says "1 device sound found. MIDI (___KB)". Other
than that, I can't get the Sound Bundler to do anything else.
I was wondering whether there's another way to unbundle using
another Flash tool, or maybe the bundled file is in a known format
which I can unbundle with something else? When opened in a text
editor, the .fls files from the client begin with "FWS".
Thanks.
