Probable correlation to the recent Flash Player issues - RealTek On-board Sound

After struggling for weeks with the last 2 revs of Flash Player (and the current beta version from labs.adobe.com) crashing/locking up my machine, I decided to put some time in tonight to try and isolate the issue, if possible. After some segmentation ultimately leading to my disabling the On-Board sound in the BIOS, I've experienced no crashes.
An early clue that I figured was a random event at the time was that my sound channels would effectively stop working for any program when the Flash Player crashed. Turns out that was the key bread crumb. As I followed some of the other advice given here with regard to Settings (Global Settings had no effect at any time), I at first passed over the microphone tab of Settings. I'd have saved myself about 3hrs and 25 reboots if I had clicked on it immediately. Clicking on the Mic settings, for me, immediately locked up the Flash Player, Firefox (6.0.2), and Windows Explorer (not IE as I don't use it and don't even have the Active-X version of FP installed), necessitating a reboot to re-enable sound. For the record, as others have indicated, Google Chrome also showed the same issue.
I've tried a wide range of audio drivers also trying to find a version that works, but each driver version from the Windows 7 native all the way to the latest version from the MB manufacturer, ASUS (Audio_Realtek_ALC269_SM_Win7_64_Z6016438), only small changes in the manifestation of the crashing occured.
Unfortunately, I don't have a pre-10,3,183,7 FP version although I'm sure the version before this latest one had the same problems.
I'm pretty confident of these findings and I hope this is useful in debugging the Flash issue, quickly.

In addition, would you be willing to send me ([email protected]) any crashlogs you have from either IE or FF? You can get instructions for generating these here:

Since I updated the Adobe flash player I have had no sound when using firefox

Yesterday Adobe told me I needed to update my flash player, so I did and now today I have no sound at all. Itunes still works and so does the sound in Internet Explorer, but whenever I go on youtube, pandora, etc (in firefox) I can't hear anything. Troubleshooting says to go to the volume mixer and make sure the firefox volume is all the way up. I went to the mixer, couldn't find the volume for firefox, though I did make sure everything else was turned up and it still doesn't work.

Your above posted list of installed plugins doesn't show the Flash plugin for Firefox.

Recently I cannot view certain attached videos because I need the adobe flash player. It does not get installed and the system says it will do so once firefox is closed. pl.help

recently certain video or pictorial attachments to my e-mails be opened because the system requires the installation of the Adobe Flash player with Java plug-ins. The message also gives a link for installation. It appears to install but nothing really happens. Then the message advises that it will install automatically once security is uninstalled or when Firefox is off. Nothing seems to work. Please help. P.S. I recently also installed the Firefox 4.0 version also

1.Download the Flash setup file from here using Firefox: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

Issues with the new flash player upgrade

I work for a magazine where I have interactive slideshows for
image based content. With the upgrade of the new flash player all
the getURL flash buttons are inert. All the buttons are doing are
going to the next page in the slideshow. How do I get them to work
with the new player. I understand I may need an "AllowAccess"
parameter to make it work but not sure where it goes. Here's one of
the files in question:
http://spectrum.ieee.org/apr08/6157/
The script is real basic to make it somewhat error proof
on (release) {
getURL("
http://spectrum.ieee.org/apr08/6157/10");
Any help would be appriciated

At work, symantec endpoint. At home, norton. Ever since firefox 15, no flash version works except for 11.2. Now that ff18 was pushed out, it "forces" the upgrade to 11.5, and absolutely will not accept anything less. But as with any version of flash that was not 11.2, it just causes firefox to freeze up completely.

After updating to the new flash player 11.3.300.257

Hi,
After i updated to the new flash player, i am facing problems with my flash media, such as youtube videos and flash games, youtube loads very slow and sometimes it loads sound without video. flash games doesn't load at all.
some other video sites, the video area shows all black or all white.
i have followed some solutions that i have found in this site .. but nothing helped ..
what to do ?

Flash has recently updated to version 11.3. Some users are reporting issues with this version of Flash and Firefox. The video may appear black, white or grey and never play. This article has a few solutions that have been reported to work. " http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/flash-113-doesnt-load-video-firefox "
tried all this solutions but nothing worked

I've about had it! Can anyone please tell me where they hid the "real" Flash Player this time?

Sorry folks - don't mean to take my frustrations out on the innocent but I am sick of always having to run in circles trying to get what my creative cloud membership pays for. I finally got a new laptop and I'm stoked because it's the first one I've owned that will be able to run Adobe stuff without batting an eye (okay within reason - it's still a laptop! lol!). Anyways, the problem is Windows and some other programs along with Adobe. I've had to reinstall everything like four times now. But if I can get Windows to behave and stay stable - I can work on some delayed projects.
So I got to reinstall CC and after 4 times this searching and hunting for apps is really getting on my nerves. First, why can't Adobe put the real Flash Player in with the regular download on the CC login? I know we got the plug in with IE but I can't use it with Acrobat Pro. I'm embedding vids and stuff in PDF's and the only thing that's worked so far is that actual player. Flash Builder along with Flash Professional don't help either. About a week ago, I tracked the real "Flash Player" down but this time - I can't find it to save my life. Every time I get to click on the DOWNLOAD THE LATEST VERSION OF FLASH PLAYER link - it sends me back to a CC login page or back to the IE instructions. I've only logged into my account ...uh...about 25 times now if I counted all the open tabs right.
Okay so I get tired of searching all over for the Flash Player I need and decide to jump over to Adobe Story. I've got some other aps downloading and those will probably finish in about six to eight hours. But Story Plus isn't a download and it's included in the CC membership to. Now that program I liked. I had a bunch of projects saved and it has taken me a bit to get back over there to check it out but guess what.
I log in and it says I'm on the free version and my projects are gone. The more I search, the more Adobe insists I get the Story CC Plus with my membership - but that's not what I've got on my screen when I log in. *sigh*
I checked my membership status just in case - yes, I'm coming up for my renewal next month but there's no problems with my status and my bill shows current. So now I'm getting really frustrated. I see a nice little link that says get Premium support with your CC membership. Oh yeah? Click! They lied again. No matter how hard I look, the links only send me in circles (I"m bookmarking this page otherwise it will vanish into the nether too! )
So now I get to go pull my backups for my script that is no longer on Story Plus. Wonderful. I'm not going to go look at membership again. I'm really close to cancelling as it is - so I'm gonna go chill out and wait for stuff to download.

I need the Adobe Flash Player version 11.1.102.64plug in on my MacAir to view Ustream videos. Adobe message says the version is for Intel-based Macs with Safari; also says that I "may have to temporarily disable antivirus software. is it safe to download?

Your MacBook Air is an Intel-based system. To download the current version (11.2.202.228), go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and download it from there.
If there is still a Flash issue, you can try the Google Chrome browser, which has the current Flash built into it, to see if it works any differently with the videos. It's available from https://www.google.com/chrome

Flash Player Issue with Windows 8.1 Professional

Hi guys,
I'm currently having issues with Flash Player on Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 8.1. It seems that the Flash Player has been disabled when I access http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html.
However, when I logged off the my domain account and use my local account, I'm able to test Flash Player.
Therefore, the only thing I can think of is the Group Policy that is blocking the Flash Player as I've resetted IE settings on my domain account.
Hopefully you guys are able to solve this mystery.
Thanks!!

Go to control panel and go to program and features and uninstall existing adobe player
and adobe flash player activex both....
Then select windows 8 and flash player from here http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

How do I get the Adobe Flash Player 10 to Work (Windows XP SP3)?

I am a Premiere Elements user who occasionally exports the Timeline to Adobe Flash Video (.flv). And, occasionally I convert the .flv export to .swf with a free .flv to .swf converter. An installed Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 successfully plays back the .swf, and an installed Adobe Media Player 1.7 successfully plays back the .flv.
Right or wrong I got the idea that the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 was really a very old version of what is now the Adobe Flash Player. So, I decided it was time to update the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 to Adobe Flash Player 10. At this point, I have the following installed on my Windows XP SP3 computer via Adobe downloads:
Adobe Flash player 10 Active X
Adobe Flash player 10
Adobe Shockwave Player 11.5
The Adobe web site verification tells me that as well as the computer Control Panel Add/Remove program list.
But, no matter what I do, .flv insists on opening only with the Adobe Media Player 1.7 and the .swf only with the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0.
I have tried
a. browsing to another Open With choice
b. changing file association in folder options as well as a few uninstalls/reinstalls and have been unsuccessful in these attempts. At one point I thought that maybe uninstalling the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 would be an approach, but I cannot find it to uninstall it. I have looked in Program Files, Documents and Settings/Application Data, Local Drive/Windows/System32, tried the computer Search...all with no luck. My browsers are Internet Explorer 6 and Firefox 2.0.0.20. The default browser is Firefox and all the appropriate "allows" are in place.
If anyone could point out the errors of my ways, I would appreciate it.

I have resolved the issues presented without having to find and uninstall the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 in order to get "Adobe Flash Player 10" playback of .swf files on my computer. When I begin this task, I expected to download an "Adobe Flash Player 10" as a player program download instead of the Internet Explorer and Firefox plugin that it appears to be.
This is what I did and what I believe I have:
1. I setup Internet Explorer 6 as my default browser and then used the following site to download Adobe Flash Player 10
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/
2. As I had done before (and also suggested in another thread here), I went to Tools/Manage Add Ons and found Shockwave Flash Object, highlighted it, and clicked on Update Active X. Next, what I did not do before, I restarted the computer immediately after that.
3. Next, I set Mozilla Firefox as my default browser and then used the above site to download Adobe Flash Player 10 again.
4. With Firefox, the critical step included Firefox Tools/Options/Content with File Types (Configure how Firefox handles certain types of files) and the Manage Tab there. SWF Shockware Flash Object/Change Action/and dotting "use this plugin" - Shockwave Flash, followed by a computer restart got the job done.
Now, if I want playback of a .swf file, I can
a. Open With Internet Explorer (assumed with the Adobe Flash 10 "plugin")
b. Open With Mozilla Firefox (assumed with the Adobe Flash 10 "plugin")
c. Open With Macromedia Flash Player 8.0
I am satisfied with those results for my use. Any additional comments on the player vs plugin aspect of the matter would be interesting and helpful.

How can I watch presentations that are devedores by the Adobe Flash Player program in the IPad?

How can I watch presentations that are devedores by the Adobe Flash Player program in the IPad?

Search any of the iPad, iPhone or iPod touch forums for "flash". You'll find a number of threads on the issue with suggestions for alternative app/service combinations that allow viewing of some Flash content.

Does the last flash player version works correctly for Adobe portofolio file?

I have a problem with some Adobe Acrobat portofolio files, they were created some months ago with Acrobat X pro version but right now can not be opened.
The first message that appears is:
"To view the Flash technology content in this PDF file, please install this version of Flash Player that supports Adobe Reader and Acrobat"
When I select the option for more info appears:
Online content cannot be displayed.
I installed the most recently Flash player version but the problem is the same
Actual Flash player installed version: 11.7.700.202
OS: Windows XP 32 bits
Browser : Internet Explorer version 8.0.6001
Somebody have any idea?
Please let me know, these files are really important for my work.

There is a separate installer for using Flash with Acrobat.

The Adobe Flash Player Settings popup is appearing offscreen in my Flex4 app. How do I stop this?

Hey guys,
I have a page with some html content and my Flex app in the bottom left hand corner. At one point, the Adobe Flash Player Settings popup appears, but I can only just see the top of it, the rest is off screen towards the bottom. I set the height of the application in the opening application tag, to 240. The whole app is visible in the HTML page, but for some reason the background colour of the Flex app goes past its height and width properties. This is probably causing the Flash Player Settings popup problems right?
Does anyone know how I can fix this so that the user can interact with the popup? Thanks for reading.

Thanks Mike, Problem continues if I uninstall Adobe Flash
Player....scanning computer now for malware.....amazing that the malware
uses Adobe Flash Player even thought my control panel says the player does
not exist. Adds are not too bad but I do not like something going on out
my control....what else is up??? That kind thing. Will let you know when
problem is solved, best, Allen Bealle

Adobe flash player issue

hello, would u help me with my adobe issue? it happens that the adobe flash player doesn't work correctly on my computer with OS windows 8, i have got the most recen version installed and appears an issue in it, would you tell me what's going on please? [email protected] thanks

The Flash Player version that is compatible with a Windows 8 32-bit OS and a Google Chrome browser is Version 11.5.31.2. You might have a 64-bit OS, which may not work on a 32-bit OS (what a mess). I'm still not sure which version is compatible specifically for Google Chrome Windows 8, 64-bit OS. With the Internet Explorer browser, you can use Version 11.3.376.12 for Windows 8. Hope that helps some at least.

Opera and the latest Flash Player

I posted the question below in the installing player forum and unfortunately I have had no replies. However there is an additional problem in that I can not acess images on the Ancestry website. It is asking me to install the latest version of flash (which I believe I have see below) it is starting to get really frustrating having to switch to a diferent browser every time I want to view images. Does anyone know if Abode are even trying to fix the problem with opera?
I am using Opera v 12 build 1467 as my browser and my OS is windows XP SP3. I have been trying to watch content from BBCi player and a message appears telling me to update my Adobe Flash Player. I have followed the instructions on the Adobe website but still get the same message. I have verified (via the control panel) that the laterst version is installed ( 11.3.300.262) but still get the same message. If I go to the adobe flash player help page there is no image in the box and no matter how many times I've tried to uninstall and then reinstall the flash paler the results are still the same. I have also checked Opera Plugins to see if it disabled but there is no entry for the flash player although shockwave & acrobat are there.
It appears to work fine in Firefox ( v. 13.0.1).
Is there something else I need to do or does the flash player simply not work in Opera?
I wouild really like to continue using Opera as it works well with few clitches.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated but please keep it as simple as possible as I am not very good with code or registry editing.
Many thanks,
Dingiso

I'm in the US and am not allowed to watch BBC iPlayer content, so I can't check to see if I might have the same issue. I have had the same problem with other sites, though, and it was caused by problematic coding within the website. The workaround: 1) Right-click on the page whose Flash content won't play. 2) Select "Edit Site Preferences..." 3) Click on the "Network" tab. 4) In the drop-down menu for "Browser Identification," select "Mask as Firefox." 5) Click "OK." 6) Reload the page.
Hope that works for you.
