Flash videos start having messed up sound

Hello there.
I never shutdown my PC and thus also not my programs, including the browser. After my browser (I've tried Firefox, Chromium and Opera, all with the same result) has been running for a while (1-3 days) flash videos will playback with messed up sound. By that I mean that the sound will stutter heavily and loop that stuttering second over and over. I then just shutdown the browser, start it up again and watch the video again. Then it takes a day or so and the same stuff happens. It's not a mindboggling hassle to restart my browser every other day, but I've had this problem for *ages* now (maybe a year or something like that) and I'd really like to know if there's a way to fix it.

I think that happens when flash crashes. It happens to me if I use it a lot for a prolonged period of time - like whole day watching movies / listening to music via flash-based players.
The sound stutters just like in your case and it goes away after I restart the browser.
As long as it involves flash, you will suffer as I don't know any way of permanently fixing it. You can move to html5-based media or download the videos and watch them from your hard drive.

Youtube/Flash videos play but with no sound

I have gone through other posts both here and elsewhere trying to fix this issue.
It happened, so far as I can tell, after the most recent set of updates that I installed (less than a week ago; my computer is set to update every month). Youtube and any other Flash videos online will play the video, but the sound option has a red x on it and does not allow me to have any sound with the videos. This occurs both in Safari and Firefox.
Videos played through Quicktime (even .flv files downloaded from Youtube) play just fine, without any problems at all.
I have changed the Audio Midi settings, uninstalled/reinstalled Flash player (and repaired disk permissions), reset PRAM, opened up Garageband/Quicktime/All other audio programs, and to no avail.
I am running 10.6.6 on an iMac G5. My other iMac G5, which had the same set of updates installed, does not have this issue, which makes it even more baffling.
I am almost to the point of backing up the computer's contents and doing a clean install of the system, but that seems like an overkill solution.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi and welcome...

Videos start but stop although sound continues

Videos will start along with sound but the video will stop although sound continues.If I move my pointer over the video it will jump to where the progress bar indicates where the video is at it's current playback time.How can I fix this problem?

Let me revise this question.Same problem with YouTube vids on Facebook/YouTube ect as stated above with the problem being video hangups.If I wave my mouse pointer over the video in progress the video proceeds but will stop if I don't wave the pointer over the vid.The vid will load and I can hear audio playback but the image will just stop while the audio is still playing.

Start flash video

How can I have an event on my page start a flash video start?
I have a .FLV file that starts and looks correct. I see the
controls on the video. I want a rollover on a separate object
restart the video from the beginning.
I have tried looking it up, but have not found the correct
term.
Thank you very much for your clues.
Robert

It might be easiest, if you have autoRewind set to true, to
call:
my_btn.onRollOver = function() {
FLVComponent.stop(); //will rewind
FLVComponent.play();
}

6085 video issue -- Video not in sync with sound

I have a Nokia 6085. Not the best phone, I know, but it's cheap. Anyway, I can convert video files to compatible MP4 or 3GP just fine. My phone will play them just fine, up to a point. After about a minute, the video starts lagging behind the sound more and more. I've done some research on this forum, but not come up with a single straight answer. I cannot use SmartMovie or other players, as the Nokia 6085 runs in the J2ME environment. I've tried to update my phone, but Nokia's software says there are no updates for my phone. I've used files I've converted myself using various bitrates, codecs, etc. I've found in various places on this forum. I've used videos converted by others that apparently work on their devices. No difference. Any idea on how I can fix this? Thanks in advance.
Solved!

All right. After much experimentation with SUPER and some researching through Google, I managed to fix my issue. Everyone else who had this issue merely said, "Issue fixed." I'll post my results in case anyone else has this issue:
Container: 3gp (Nokia/NEC/Siemens)
Output Video Codec: H.263
Output Audio Codec: AAC LC
Video Size: 176x144
Frame/Sec: 12

Hope this helps someone.

HTML Email that contains Flash Video

Does anyone know of a way to send video (or Flash Video)
embedded within an html email so that it does not trigger the
Active X security warning?
Sending the file as an attachment is not an option. The main
objective is to have the video ( of Flash Video) start playing when
the email is opened.
Any inside on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

even if it was possible, the variety of mail clients is
indeterminable, and different mail clients allow/dont allow certain
things for incoming/outgoing email.. most email clients dont even
allow you to add pictures to the body of your email.

Can anyone please help me, I'm having problems with sound while watching video clips using flash player using Internet Explorer\

Can anyone please help me, I'm having problems with sound while watching video clips using flash player & Internet Explorer

There's a good chance that this is a known issue. We'll have a Flash Player 18 beta later this week that should resolve this at http://www.adobe.com/go/flashplayerbeta/

Sometimes no sound in flash videos after boot?

Sometimes after I boot up the machine, I get no sound in flash videos. First I didn't know why it was happening, but as I read a few articles here on forum, I found out it was because of my USB webcam (logitech) - alsa was messing something up and didn't know how to handle sound drivers well (so they say). So one of the suggestions I found was to force the (in my case) snd_hda_intel module load before snd_usb_audio module during the boot process. I thought it worked, but after a while the same problem appeared again. If I just unplug the webcam from my computer, sound works perfectly on each boot, but I don't want to get down and insart the cam everytime I need it... Anyone have any suggestions what I should try to fix this? If I need to provide more information - please tell, and I'll provide it, just say which and how.
thanks

No sound in flash videos

I would like to say that I am not a native speaker and English is my second language.
Well, back to the topic. Sometimes safari stop playing sounds in flash videos. Its annoying because the only solution I found is to quit safari, start garage band, quit garage band and start safari again. After some research I found out that there is something wrong with sound frequency in preferences. Is there a permanent solution for this?

MIDI setup is set correct.
I did restart my computer. I know how to fix the issue. But I am sick of neverending Garage Band solving. Is there any pernament solution?

I'm having problems with Flash Videos (Youtube and ESPN)

I have been having this problem for the last couple of days now and it is really annoying. Whenever I watch a flash video like on youtube or espn my computer freezes up and the audio will make a loud buzzing sound. I have attached a video with the post so you can see what happens. I don't have problems with anything else except this. I also get this error no matter what browser I use. I have system restored my PC as far as I can go, and I've ran a ton of scans and driver update checks and nothing seems to work.

merci a tous pour les nombreuses réponse. j'ai dû mal a les lire vue que je ne lit que le français. je vous remercié encore une fois amicalement. Blanchette 2.

No sound on flash videos on the internet after suspend and hibernate

I have this:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller
Everytime I resume from suspend or hibernate with firefox open alongside with fully loaded flash videos, playing the videos doesn't produce any sound anymore. I need to restart firefox in order to make it work again..:(
Any ideas?
Thanks for the help in advance

I'm also having this problem. Xfmedia plays audio just fine before and after suspend/resume, but pandora.com and hulu.com in firefox do not. Also noticed that CPU usage skyrockets when trying to restart audio/video after resume in pandora/hulu. In hulu, video restarts, but audio does not.
Interestingly, CPU usage also spikes if I restart audio in Xfmedia after resume, but the CPU hog is firefox not Xfmedia and Xfmedia audio plays just fine. Have to close the hulu or pandora tab to get the CPU usage back to normal. Wondering if it's just a bug in flash for linux.

I just started having a problem viewing videos, namely youtube. Any suggestions? Thank You. Scott

I just started having problems viewing youtube videos. Other videos on other sites appear to be working. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank You.

A friend recommended this and surprisingly I could watch the videos so apparently my issue is a Flash problem.
Try this test:
Try this, www.youtube.com/html5 and click 'Join the html5 trial' and see if you can watch videos then. If you can, it's a flash issue. If not, I have no idea.
If it's flash, I would upgrade FF to 5.0. I believe it uses built in flash, much like Chrome does.

Flash video on web page takes long very time to load before it starts playback

I just created a basic flash file to play a video on my web page and it's taking several minutes to load before it starts playback.
I'm using progressive downlaod and the file is in *.mov format and is 84MB in size. At first that seemed large to me for web play back, but I thought it could handle it since I thought the way progressive download works is that it would start playing the first frame right away and progressively play other frames as they download. However, this seems to be downloading the whole file first (or a major part of it) before starting any playback at all.
Is there some kind of setting I'm missing or is my understanding of the download incorrect and the file size is too large?
Some vitals:
- I'm using Flash Pro CS5
- To create my flash file, I used the standard import video wizard and selected the a file that is "on my computer" and "load external video with playback component" and then, I selected one of the standard skins.
- To deploy the vidoe on my webiste I have three files:
1) swf file containing the FLV component
2) the swf file related to skin
3) the actual video (84MB, mov file)
- Web page includes/embeds reference to swf file

Thanks for your response again. Looks like things have changed a bit to complicate this a little more.

Are you saying that if I wait long enough it will start to play .... from the link you posted?
What you are implying here is correct. The file won't play no matter how long you wait. Looks like it's because of the "source" file settings in the Import Wizard may now be incorrrect. This is why it's not playing in the new file.
When I created my original Flash Video using a MOV file, during the import wizard, when asked "Where is your video file?" I selected the option "Already deployed to a web server...". Here I entered the url to where the video file is located on my production server.
When I created the new Flash Video using F4V file, during the import wizard, when asked "Where is your video file?" I selected the option "On your computer". Here I selected the file from my local drive.
Sorry for not pointing out the inconsistency earlier - I didn't think it mattered and plus I couldn't get the F4V file to import from the web server.
Anyway, I've changed my object tag using the acutal published html that flash generates and have uploaded all source files to same location.
http://www.upperhand.com/tv/video-intro.html
To sum up the problem(s) I need help with:
Issue #1 - When trying to import F4V file using import wizard, I cannot use "Already deployed to a web server..." as an option for the file location. I believe this is creating issue #2
Issue #2 - For some reason, the F4V file will not load into the SWF file when it's published to my production server.
It works when viewing locally through browser as c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mywebsite\video-intro.html
It doesn't work when viewing on development server through browser as http://localhost/mywebsite/video-intro.html
It doesn't work when viewing on production server through browser as http://www.mywebsite.com/video-intro.html
Issue #3 - When the above are resolved, I'm not certain if my orignal question/issue will be resolved... browser tries to downlaod full file before any playback.

My Iphone 4 32GB started having this issue when I downloaded the 2 last 6.1.X... VOICE CONTROL pops-up even when I sleep and calls random people just by the sound of the snoring... in FACETIME even more annoying. I confirm that it does this day and night

Turn off Voice Control.
Otherwise, basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).

Adobe flash video constantly crashes when starting to play

The flash player crashes every time I try to play a flash video in browser (vk videos as well as dailymotion and as well as youtube). Flash games are okay, though... Kongregate.com at the very least... At the same time google Chrome does not crash and plays video okay.
There're no crash reports for these crashes in about:crashes.
I tried downgrading flash to 10.3. I tried to update real player. I turned off hardware acceleration. Nothing helps! The video just crashes at the very first moment of playback.
PS: it all started recently. In august. There were no problems in July.

Same problem here. Every new Shockwave version has gotten worse. I'm beginning to wonder if there's compatibility issues with the other plug-ins and/or add-ons I use?
Is there a Mozilla or Firefox 'tool' that checks the compatibility of the plug-ins and add-ons?
