Re:. Flash applications freeze periodically with sound but no video on all browsers.

I've been having problems with flash applications on browsers for the past year or two. What happens is that when a flash video starts, my browser will lag periodically. The sound will be present, but the video will freeze, and I will not be able to switch tabs, click on buttons etc. This was most noticable on YouTube at first, but it's also occuring with other sites, and it's very annoying when a site has flash ads and it causes my entire browsing experience to slow to a crawl. This isn't just a firefox problem, I've tried IE and google chrome as well, and I have also tried different Internet connections. I've tried various suggestions to fix it, such as turning off hardware acceleration, uninstalling then reinstalling flash and shockwave, reinstalling my video codecs, but they all have no effect. Can anyone help me with this problem, its driving me nuts! My browsers are all updated to the latest version, my flash player is version 11.7.700.169, and I am using Windows 7 pro (6.1, build 7601).

Do you notice any difference if you disable hardware acceleration?
How do I disable or enable hardware acceleration?
What happens if you temporarily revert back to Flash Player 10.3?
How do I revert to a previous version of Flash Player?

  • I just got my replacement ipad last night. when i got home and tried the applications, there is no sound. but the videos do have sounds.

    i just got my replacement ipad last night. when i got home and tried the applications, there is no sound. but the videos do have sounds. i already checked the settings. i cannot find what's causing it. please help.

    You may have already checked the settings, but it still sounds like you have system sounds muted.
    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Firefox Browser Outlook SkyDrive playing m4v file with sound but not video

    Firefox Browser Outlook SkyDrive playing the m4v file. I have sound but not the video. Sound and video play ok with IE10.

    I'm amazed that each time these type of problems arise we get the same advice time-and-again to go through this exceedingly manual process of due-diligence checks-and-balances to figure out what it is that we have as ad-ons that supposedly now clash with changes that FF have made to the browser.
    Everything is provided to FF with the post yet we are expected to check in SafeMode everything that was passed compatible when FF was updated.
    It all comes across a bit lazy I have to say - no disrespect intended to some at FF who will no doubt come back to "slap my wrist", telling me not to be "rude", "refrain from using so many ????? together", telling me yet again "the problem is with your plugins" - especially when history shows us that such checks I'm asked to make "after the event" often do not resolve the problem, more so given that the last FF Update validated all of them, switch off those that weren't and checks on them since show that all are the latest up-to-date without any changes being made to them by me . Then the problem gets resolved by someone else on the forum basically beta testing what should have been checked-out thoroughly by FF in the first place.
    Sorry to go on a bit of a rant-and-rage B-U-T we are not getting these repeated problems withe other browsers which we are getting more and more frequently with FF.
    Never mind. I'll go through this rigmarole of checks yet AGAIN, no doubt then having to put up with the same sequence of threads from the likes of Morbus re the Plugin-container fiasco "Nothing to do with this [whatever we put forward it might be]. Try flash [or this or that or something else]. Uninstall it and reinstall it. Make sure it's up to date too.", like we're a bunch of morans who don't have the dummy sense to check these things out thoroughly before we go asking for help on the FF Forum.
    "Let's blame the add-ons that have nothing to do with FF" Nowt has changed on that front since 08/2010.
    Still, what can we really expect from a free browser? A browser that works?????
    I hate IE --- but at least it isn't failling over with hardware acceleration issues every few updates!!!!!

  • Airplay with sound but no video - just a movie label

    When using airplay, I hear the sound on my TV but no video.  It just shows the movie/tv series "label" on the lower left corner.  Anyone had this problem?  I have the new Ipad and Apple TV 2.   Does this make sense?

    Just been back into iTunes, and a video file that I have saved in TVshows tab plays fine!!!
    Bizarre
    Hop someone can help

  • No sound on YouTube videos on all browsers.

    I know this is a somewhat common problem and I have had and resolved this problem before, but all of the common fixes do not seem to be working.
    I have:
    Opened and closed Garageband
    Force Quit the core audio in Activity Monitor
    Made sure the output is set to 44.1 in the Audio MIDI Setup utility
    Deleted and reinstalled the Flash plugin in the Internet Plug-ins folder
    Deleted and reinstalled Safari.
    Is there anything else I can try?
    I created a temporary user account and it works fine in that account but not my main account.
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    This is going to sound stupid, but if you haven't done so check the actual youtube volume setting for the video you are trying to play. I had the same problem you do a couple days ago - I finally realized that for some reason the volume had become muted and I just hadn't noticed it. The volume indicator is right below the video to the right.

    Hi s, well congrats on getting your brother's computer up and running. On your system, you have all correct Flash Player
    files for IE and FF, as well as the SWO and SWF.
    Since the Install of Flash Player, have you installed any programs that would have added any ActiveX Controls, or any other add ons or plug-ins?
    Have you had an opportunity to see if your brother's computer has the issue you have when watching the same websites?
    Are you using any ad-block in FF(Firefox) or any pop up blocker software installed?  I can't imagine updating to FP version 10 alone would cause this.
    Is this happening only on the BBC website? Does what you watch come thru the BBC website or youtube directly?
    We have your brother's computer to use to determine what is going on. If he is able to see the BBC website and what you
    are having problems with, then we can rule out the website.
    Other browser add ons, anti-virus programs, etc. affect the browser. Even tho, no problem with vs 9. Sometimes updates
    can have an affect, even with Windows as we all know:-)
    Thanks,

  • I want to open a domain.site2 file outside the default folder (User/Library/Application Support/iWeb) with iWeb11, but iWeb only opens the domain file in the default folder. If I delete the default domain file, iWeb wants to create a new site. Help please

    I want to open a domain.site2 file outside the default folder (User/Library/Application Support/iWeb) with iWeb11, but iWeb only opens the domain file in the default folder. If I delete the default domain file, iWeb wants to create a new site. Does anyone have the same problem or know how to fix it?

    In Lion the Finder folder is now invisible.  To make it permanetely visible enter the following in the Terminal applicaiton window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files  Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an applicaiton.
    Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate

    I have sound but no video with my newly updated quicktime 7. How do I troubleshoot this. I tried reloading the software.

    If you're referring to videos on the web, run 'iDelete QT and Flash Caches' and read the second dialog box, then click 'Yes'.

  • Sound but no video for some users?

    I was pushing a 700k stream last weekend and I was getting a rash of users saying that they had great sound, but no video, while others got video no problem. I'm using JW player for flash, and saw no problems myself on the stream. Any idea why some folks might not be getting video? Sometimes if they hit REFRESH on their browser to reload everything, it *might* start working...

    Do they have latest Flash Player? If you know anyone of them, to check issue, share stream with 1 subscriber or share stream with H.264 codec.

  • MPEG2 Sound but NO Video on playback

    I have QT Pro w/the MPEG2 Plug in (both current version) running on OSX 10.4.11 and when I try to open/play a file I get sound but no video. The file works fine with VLP and if I use Handbrake to encode the file in MPEG4 it will play. Why doesn't the MPEG2 file play? That's why I bought the plug in... Is there some other magic that needs to be done?

    I looked at the encoding and it was MPEG so now at least I understand the QT not playing part. Yes the original file was from TIVO downloaded via TiveDecode Manager. I was hoping not to have to do any more encoding to get it to play in QT (want to use a Mac Mini as a Media Center). Using Handbrake I can encode to MPEG4 which does play just fine, it just can take hours to encode. If anyone knows of a better way please let me know. I know on solution is to use VLP as the player but it's not supported in Front Row (from what I can see). Thanks for the help Matti..
