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

Oh God, this again.

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?

Crackling/substandard sound in flash videos (YouTube etc) regardless of video quality setting.

Hi all,
I hope you can help! Apologies if this is in the wrong forum, I'm struggling to find the best place to put this.
1. a summary of your issue
Crackling/substandard sound in flash videos (YouTube etc) regardless of video quality setting.
2. the type of computer you use—Mac or PC?
Desktop PC.
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, all updates installed.
3. steps you've already taken to troubleshoot
The problem occurs after installing Adobe Flash Player 15 Plugin to any browser (I mainly use FireFox). It's listed as Adobe Flash Player 15 ActiveX when I installed it for Internet Explorer.
Before installing it, I can hear the videos fine but I am limited to a maximum of 720p quality on YouTube.
I removed my sound and graphics drivers, after restart Windows 7 decides it will install them again but as the generic/universal ones. No change.
I've heard that because I have the Windows Aero theme activated, I need to disable hardware acceleration - tried this in various ways:
a) Generic PnP monitor Troubleshoot tab - Change Settings button is greyed out (whether or not I have the real/generic/universal graphics drivers installed). Can't find a way through nVidia control panel to do this either.
b) Disabled hardware acceleration in FireFox - no change.
c) Found on your forum here that I can go to a page which will check my Flash version, in theory I could right-click it, hit Settings and disable hardware acceleration there - no "Settings" option in right-click menu. Seems the page has changed.
I can't seem to find a way to interface with Flash directly to disable hardware accelerattion - if this is indeed the solution.
Regardless of Windows Aero theme, I've got it on basic theme now and still the same problem.
I recently reformatted and re-installed my PC, it was working fine before I did this (maybe I had an old Flash release installed?).
I'm at my wit's end... please help!

Sorry, it's all sorted now. After re-installing the sound drivers, decided to tinker with the settings one by one. I had my Creative sound card in Game Mode, thus it was assuming 2.1 speakers aka headphones. Put it in Entertainment Mode and it recognised all the 5.1 speakers for flash videos. Doh!

No sound in MPEG2 video after upgrading to QT 7.6.6

I still have a problem with QT playing the sound of MPEG2 videos after upgrading to QT 7.6. I had this problem one year ago and solved it by downgrading to QT 7.5. Now I did the automatic update suggested by the system which insrtalled QT 7.6.6
Unfortunately again no sound when playing MPEG2 videos (I have the MPEG2 QT component installed). When converting the video to MPEG1 or MP4 there are no problems at all. So it seems to be a problem of the MPEG2 component together with QT 7.6
Any idea how I could solve this? Is the a MPEG2 component update which works with QT 7.6?
Thanks for your help
Wolfgang

I downloaded the new MPEG2 component (unfortunately I had to pay the 20 EUR as my previous download has been in something liek 2008 and is no longer registered in the Apple Store
Strange! I made my original pre-QT v6.4 MPEG-2 component purchase in September of 2002 and it was automatically updated to the version for QT 6.4 thru QT v7.5 which was then automatically updated for QT v7.6 and later. It would seem the European stores may operate differently than the US store. You may wish to hang onto you purchase information in case this ever happens again in order to discuss the matter with Customer Service or at least learn the specific terms/limitations of your purchase agreement and/or account.
I hope this solves the problem but it seems most likely that the incompatibility of the old MPEG2 component and QT 7.6.x is the reason for my problem. You may be right
I opened up the installer package after reading your latest post and noticed a statement that QT 7.6 is "required" for this update. So it looks like there were some compatibility issues with the change to QT v7.6 software.
In any case, wish you the best of luck...

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.

Trouble shoot Issue in QT Pro: I have sound but no Video after convert

I hope this hasn't been answered somewhere else if so I apologize. I have been using QuickTime Pro to convert .mkv files to .mp4. I muxed them with MkvMerge. Then I open them in QuickTime Pro and export as a mp4 for Ps3 playback. They are 1080p Hd movie files and I have had no problems until today. I have one mkv that when converted to mp4 plays only sound and no video. Its just a black screen. I checked the muxed files when I open them in QT Pro and they work fine so its only after I convert the .mka to .mp4 that I have the video issue. I've already done a few other files so I don't know why this isn't working? Any ideas?

It could be a 'difficult' form of Matroska file. FYI Matroska is just a container like MOV or AVI, and some mkv have the video encoded with Real Video Codec (RV9 RV10). Perian+QT can't decode this, but VLC will play .mkv files just fine on OS X, as long as they don't use H.264!
It's a bit of a lottery until Matroska decide to support the Apple platform. I have found this:
http://mkv4mac.free.fr/index.php?lang=en&p=lec
which may help.
But there may be another workaround: 1. Get Info the mkv file
2. Change to extension to wmv. Save as wmv and that could work better.
Or this link may be helpful:
http://www.squidoo.com/mkv-converter-mac
Recently, a poster (ZachP14) suggested this:
"There's a program called Plex that runs .mkv files awesome on my 2.0 ghz macbook."
http://www.plexapp.com/
Maybe worth a try?

MacPro whirring sound with Flash video

I have a MacPro (early 2008) with an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT card. Whenever I'm on a website using Safari that displays Flash video (an ad or a slideshow, etc) I hear a medium-pitched whirring sound. Despite sticking my ear close to the inside of the Mac, I can't determine if it's coming from the video card, a fan, or a hard drive. I read that there is a recall on certain serials of this video card but the defect would cause distorted or no video at all. I'm using the latest version of Snow Leopard with 8gb ram. Mac Pro QuadCore Intel Xeon 2x2.8Ghz.
Any feedback is appreciated.
Glen

This could be coming from the fan on the video card. Think of it this way, when flash comes up on screen, it uses more video processing power. This in turn heats up the GPU, which in turn can increase the fan speed and thereby elevating the volume level of the fan in operation.
This isn't necessarily the issue, but there is a better than average possibility, and it does happen to fit the facts. How does it sound when you try other graphically intensive operations on the computer? If it does the same thing I think you have found your answer.
Doesn't necessarily mean anything is wrong, but I don't have alot for comparison as I have a pair of video cards in my computer, but they never got the chance to use factory cooling as before I installed them, I added Arctic Cooling Accelero Pro V2 to each card. These are super quiet.

No Sound in Flash Videos but other sounds work fine.

OS - Win 7 Enterprise sp1
Flash Player version - 11.1.102.55
RealTek High Def audio driver ver - 6.0.1.6201
Rolling out a new Image for our offices, everything seemed ok then someone was complaining about no sound. Turns out Flash Videos(youtube) play but if you unplug the headphones and plug them back in you don't get audio unless your refresh the page. This behaviour only occurs in Flash videos, Windows sounds ok, Media played through Media player ok, Quick time ok, just the Flash videos are affected. I havent' been able to find a solution.
Most up to date audio drivers,Flash player.
As a side note, I did a install of nothing but Windows 7 and it does the same thing so there isn't anything I'm adding.
Any help would be appreciated.
Mark

If I understand properly, the audio will play all the time if you don't unplug the headphone while you are playing the flash video, then it works? It only doesn't work when you unplug the headphone and put it in while Flash Video is playing? And the workaround is refresh the page.
This sounds like the expected behavior in the current player.
If you think this is bug need to take care, you can post it to http://forums.adobe.com/community/flashplayer/using_flashplayer (release player forum) or log a bug in the bugbase.

nah. Those steps didn't help me fix the issue. downgrading Firefox to 33.1.1 did however.

No sound in firefox 3.6.3 flash video after upgrading to Kubuntu 10.04 and

Installed Kubuntu 10.04. Sound in Amarok plays correctly. Reinstalled firefox and latest adobe adobe flashplugin 10.0.45.2. Sound worked fin in Kubuntu 9.10.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded (full install) fromKubunto 9.10 to 10.04

This cost me a couple of hours and then a very simple solution worked, in kubuntu 10.04:
# left-click the speaker icon in the system tray
# left-click "Mixer" button
# slide "PCM" up
What a brainless default setting! Should really be updated by kubuntu.

Most MP4s play sound but no video after upgrade to 10.5

I just upgraded to 10.5.6 from 10.3.9, and now most -- but not all -- of my MP4s only play sound and don't show video (using Quicktime). I haven't been able to find what the files that do play properly have in common. Any ideas?
(Incidentally, I can open them in VLC, but I'd prefer to use Quicktime -- not to mention simply figure out the reason for the issue.)
Thanks --
Christine

Make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe Flash Player, Perian, Flip4Mac & VLC.
Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Boot from your install disc & run _*Repair Disk*_ from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.

Sound "lags" behind video after HDV Capture!

So I'm new to iMovie. I recently tried to capture some HDV clips from a Sony HDR-FX1 and when I play the clips after I've captured them, the sound lags behind the video. I've captured regular DV (4:3) clips without having this problem. Does anyone know what is happening?

Sometimes, if your import of HDV tapes is slower than 'real time', the sound may seem too slow (..lower pitch..) or may lag after import.
This seems to be due to a memory "cache"; iMovie seems to remember that the video played slower than normal while importing, and so the sound runs 'slowly' afterwards.
It sometimes works just to quit from iMovie and then restart the program (..that empties the "memory cache").
You could also 'Extract' the audio (..by selecting the video clip, and then using Apple key +'J'..) so that it drops into the separate audio track beneath the video. You can then just drag the audio clip to the left slightly, so that it matches up properly with the video.

Sound but no video after upgrading to QT 7

Hello,
I upgraded from QT 6.5 to QT 7.
None of my .mov files play video thrugh the player anymore. I can hear the mov files sound but a white screen is all i see for video. I have over 200 and it is the same with all.
The mov files play fine in Rreal Player or other players.
Anyone have an idea?
I want to use QT Pro but it only works with QT viewr 7 when doing an upgrade. I guess I am out of luck?

Sound but no video after going to Quicktine 7.1 - RESOLVED

Hi All,
I posted this as an issue last night but have since figured out the problem. It seems Quicktime 7.1 adds a feature in the control panel under the advanced tab.
For DirectX playback of video, the checkbox:
Enable Direct3D video acceleration
was checked by default. once I uncheck this...video playback works fine. Seems like an incompatibility with my video driver.
try unchecking this and see if it helps.

what video is it having trouble with?? what codec is it using?? some vidio codex's for older versions of quick time dont work with newer versions.

No sound in flash-related videos since I updated my browser and flash.

I updated my browser and flash. Before this I had no problems whatsoever with sound in flash videos. I was watching them just fine and then I installed the updates, and all of a sudden flash vids play fine, but have no volume. I tried adjusting the mixer volume on my system tray and nothing. I don't want to go uninstalling and reinstalling and losing years of settings because somebody couldn't code flash properly.
HELP!!!!!!!
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== Today when I updated Firefox to version 3.6.4 and got the flash update of version 10.1.53.64
