[SOLVED] sound and video issues with firefox

I decided to change my browser due to some problems with the last chromium update (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=182218).
I'm using the last version of firefox but I can't watch any videos in this browser. I'm having two main problems:
· There is no sound at all in the videos played. But there is sound if I play something with Clementine or mplayer
· The videos stop after a few seconds automatically. The videos keep loading, but they are not played anymore.
This is a weird thing. I can't use a browser! Please some help!
PS: I change the player on youtube to HTML5 and it's working now

Hello,
While the whiteboard itself doesn't have an upload command,
the FilePublisher can upload images into the Cocomo room. From
there, your clients can download the image and display it (say,
through an image component). The SharedWhiteboard can have its
backgroundAlpha set to 0 - try myWB.setStyle("backgroundAlpha", 0).
As far as your audio is concerned, it seems as though you're
compiling against the FP10 cocomo.swc, but aren't requiring player
10 in your Flex project (check Project Properties->Flex
Compiler). I'd either use the FP9 swc, or require 10.0.0 or higher
in the project.
hope that helps

Odd sound and video issue comes and goes.

Please dont give me the "open up a new user account" solution, as to that is a cop out to a real solution.... THANK YOU... I see it too much here, and honestly it just isn't a answer. I actually found weird solutions to this issue, but I want to discuss this all here and see if anyone else experiences this or has any input to this WEIRD thing.
So, I have SEVERAL Macs, laptops, power macs, etc...been a 10 year Mac user, with hardly any problems because I am Mac savvy (usually) - I own a professional Audio recording studio, so know ALOT about sound, etc... and I only experience this on this laptop, my PowerBook 17inch Alluminum (the higher resolution one that has pad scrolling)...
Anyway, issue is this: Sound works fine 98% of the time. VERY seldomly for absolutely no reason and no change to any settings the sound will stop working on ANY movie player (Quicktime, Real Player, MPlayer, etc..) PLUS nit work on the net either. BUT all interface computer sounds will work fine (volume button changing sound, trash, etc...) and iTunes works fine, music related players will work, actually quicktime will actually play music, just not the sound WITH a movie/clip, whatever... - ALONG with the fact that IF it is a Quicktime, or Real Player movie/clip I am watching and NOT getting sound to, it ALSO only plays the movie for like 10 seconds then the screen stops, but the timeline marker still moves. I can then pause and start the movie/clip and it will then pick back up, again though for only 10 seconds....
WEIRD !!!
Solutions I have come up with but find weird, yet don't ALWAYS work...
#1 - Launch all my players one by one, and then quit them. Then restart, then everything works fine. But seldomly works.
#2 - Drain my battery all the way dead, shut off my computer, charge it until full, then UNPLUG from charger and turn computer on.... everything works fine then... Solves issue more often. (I notice this issue seems to happen alot when some odd charging antics of mine happen, like half charging, or leaving plugged in for days at a time on accident, or using leaving plugged in for to many days at a time)...
#3 - Go to "Utilities", "Audio/Midi", and make sure sample rates are at 44.1, and if are just rechange to 44.1 anyway, then close. Works the most....
As you can see this is not a user issue. OF COARSE if I start up a new user account it would work fine, but a week later or whatever it would happen on ANY USER. So this is some odd bug, or issue with something.
Anyone else got anything to say about this ? Or maybe have a permanent solution to it ?
Thanks,

Got an answer and a break-through here on this subject/issue, so I thought I would just keep this topic updated. Even though no one seems to be replying.
As I also stated this in the "No Sound On Net" topic by Cassafrass that is highly related to this topic I have found that my 3rd solution stated in my original post is absolutely the most gauranteed solution 100% of the time. And now as I have waited for this to happen 2 times since then and fixed it both times I have found this to be true. As I went to the "Audio" tab in the Audio/Midi Utility I did in fact BOTH times now see that somehow the audio input and output were set to 96k !! I did not do this, and I am doing nothing to make it happen... WEIRD... But yet like I said, I just switched them both back to 44.1k and everything instantly began working fine and as usual.
So as this is obviously NOT a permanent fix. It does show though that it IS where the problem is, and it is a solution. Now to only find out what is making it switch itself to 96k sometimes.
Also it does make sense too, because the net and certain players just can not play output at 96k, and even if they can won't do so if the source of audio is not at 96k. And since most to all audio out there is at 44.1k (CD quality) this all makes perfect sense.
Oddly though, as I have been running tests, I was thinking I was doing something that makes this happen (since very few people seem to have this problem) -- but these last two times it happened, I literally have done NOTHING but very basic computer using. I wasn't doing my extensive professional stuff as I usually do. So its really odd.
It is possible from my previous activities that I have corrupted the preference file that is linked to the Audio/Midi utility setting.... and that is my next stage of trouble shooting in which I will report back with my findings... (as stated in the other topic as well).
PLEASE if anyone else has any input or anything to say on this matter, please feel free to do so.

Loss of sound and video playback on ENVY X2

Every so often, more often than I would like, my HP Envy X2 loses sound and video playback capabilities; any ideas anybody? The concept of this machine is great and have had it for the past 9 months but this loss of sound and vision is so unpredictable and frustating...

Hi Brumage,
I saw your post regarding the sound and video issues and I will be happy to help. Do you get any error messages when this happens? Have noticed if it is a particular site like YouTube or program that you are using when the issue occurs or does it occur on all programs? When you restarted the Envy X2 does the issue go away?
I would start by suggesting that you make sure all updates have been installed through HP Support Assistant and Windows Update.
What operating system are you running? What is your product number?

Mismatch between sound and video

When I watch a movie in iTunes of Apple TV (2gen) and I want to move it few seconds/ minutes and more backwards then it like "losing its mind",
the video jumps forward (a lot forward) and the sound stays the same, so ther is mismatchment between sound and video.
What can i do to solve this problem?
Thank you!

Am I the only one suffering this issue with the video transcoding?

[Python pygame] Graphic equalizer - keeping sound and video in sync

Hi!
I'm writing a graphic equalizer in python and I want to use pygame for the video and audio output.
The video display of the moving bars works great, now that I have a correct way to read samples and decode them.
The problem now is: they're way out of sync with the audio playing in the background!
At the moment my code, that draws the bars basically looks like this:
# loop as long as we can get slice of the audio file for the fft
for n_frame in range(0, len(framebuffer), fftframesz):
clock.tick_busy_loop(t_loop)
# t_loop was defined as fftframesz over total_frame_count
# which means in words: t_loop is the amount of FFTs per second - or the cycles of THIS loop
# grab the frames and perform the fft here
...numpy.fft.fft...
# set the new bar heights and draw them
for bar in bars:
bar.update()
# if playback has not started yet, make it so
if not pygame.mixer.get_busy():
musicfile.play()
The way I'm thinking, this should be enough to keep sound and video in sync. Because we know the time that one cycle should take at most,
we can set the clock to tick_busy_loop this time. This way we make sure that the video is not faster than the sound.
But to me it seems that is is the other way round, i.e. that the video is slower than the sound. I already did some timing, but to no avail.
Is there perhaps a more easy, more elegant way to make sure that image and audio are in sync?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your ideas. I assume you mean I should go with a $1200.00 final cut pro software. NOT.
Sure the video will be on myspace and youtube but wether they are noticed or not is not as important as self satisfaction. I can easily split scenes into equal time zones as I said. Then drag them into clips and back all using the same camcorder. Multiple cameras and angles would be nice but this can be done on a low budget and still look good. I guess my original questions were not answered. Is there a way to determine the length of a transition and shorten the clip by that amount. Or the length of a still shot and do the same. Or perhaps they have been answered and the answer is NO WAY, and I am just not hearing it.
I suppose reimporting a video would be great if I could use two timelines like in audio and then blank out what I don't want in the first. But I just don't think this is possible, or is it. I've been reading iMovie HD6 The Manual that should have been in the box. It's a help but doesn't take you from the beginning of a project to the final project. Exporting to imovie or idvd is not an issue. BTW I got the clips in sync as I said by leaving blank spots and placing effects over them. I could insert the proper length video in those spots but that can look silly without transitions. But then again so can transitions. This stuff is very fun and interesting and a great learning experience. If I stop now as you suggest then I am not pushing myself to the limit. But thanks for your reply.

Sound and video are choppy since installing Flash Player 11.3

I'm having a problem here! Since I updated Adobe Flash Player 11.3, the audio and video are all choppy when I play Adobe Flash game apps in Facebook! Even when I disabled hardware acceleration, the sound and video are STILL choppy! Even I watch a YouTube video and the sound and video are a bit choppy! There's DEFINITELY some sound issues in Flash Player 11.3! I'm using Firefox 13 in Windows XP SP3. I'm wondering if you have any answers for the sound issues in FP 11.3.

I went through an annoying password reset process to post on here, haha, I was experiencing this issue and managed to resolve it for a flash animation I was making that was going to be sent out; thus fixing it for myself wouldn't change things for others. I know this is old, but if anyone is in this position, I hope it helps.
I was using Swish Max for my scenario.
Under the Export Settings, I found that by default it was using SWF Version: SWF8 - when it had the option to go up to SWF10. I changed it to 10, and set the hardware acceleration to Level 1 - Direct.
I exported, and it still didn't work. The music was choppy as heck and terribly inconsistent with speed. I even created a preloader, which appeared to work but didn't resolve my issue.
FINALLY, I kept it at version 10, and found that it had an option that said "Preload Content: Disabled." I set that to "At Preload Frame" and though I had a loading animation setup to do the preloading, I still placed a preloadcontent keyframe at frame 1. Then I set Hardware acceleration to Level 2-GPU and exported.
IT WORKED. The terrible, seemingly non-fixable audio cracking lag was gone and it worked flawlessly.
Hope this helps someone, I originally found this when I was trying to find a fix for the issue.

URGENT- DOING MEMORIAL VIDEO sound and video are off when sent to iDVD

I watch the video in iMovie and the sound and video are in sync. When I send to iDVD, the two are no longer in sync. I have made changes to the iMovie project since my last DVD burn. With the initial burn, there were no sound issues.
I've tried all of the following:
1. closing and reopening iMovie and iDVD
2. resending from iMovie to iDVD
3. readding the clip and removing the original clip from the iMovie project
4. restarting my computer
The only things I have not done are the following:
1. redownloading the original video clip from my camcorder
2. recreating the project
3. trying a different project to see if that one has the same audio/video issue (this will be my next step)
#2 above is literally so intense as I have a lot of editing on this. To make it clear to you, I have video footage of a memorial.... and after the memorial I chose little 20-30 second clips here and there. I don't have audio with those clips -- just iTunes music overlay.... so, those I don't need to worry about sound coinciding.... just the 30 minute clip that is the actual memorial service.
This is time sensitive.... it is a memorial video and I don't have time to redo the thing from the beginning, especially considering how long it took me to find those 20-30 second clips of the post-memorial.
Please help!

Yes... I had seen that.... and, yep, have the latest software.... and even rebooted my machine thinking that maybe it hadn't been restarted since the update (can't remember how long ago the update was).
I did a test run with a mobile size (it takes over an hour when I share with iDVD, which has been annoying with all my attempts to "fixing") file sharing with media browser and still the sound was not matched.
I started another project alltogether in iMovie and it does not have the sound issue when sent to iDVD....
I can copy and paste the more difficult editing I did between the "bad original copy" and my "do-over"... but, it seems to not copy exact length of each clip (it decreased it by a second each clip on the ones I copied over but that is weird since it did copy over the slowed % I had on the original) ..... see the more complex editing I have has the sound silenced and I have music overlay on that....
I have many more to go... and can't copy text directly from one project to another... in fact, there is a lot you can't just copy over.... I have to redo the music, special effects etc. This is not going to be a walk in the park if I can't find a way to make my "bad original copy" work.
Still looking for more suggestions (than to start all over), but will have to start over if I spend too much time making the one I have work.... then it becomes more sensical to just start over. I have quite a bit of time in the original, but if I can copy and paste the clips, that takes a majority of the work out.... but, if any of my copy and pastes somehow "corrupt" the sound sync on the portion that isn't silenced and music overlaid, then, there is a lot of work having to recreate all my edits from scratch.

The sound and video become unsynchronized when the off-line recording was created.

Hello,
I recorded a 1.30 hour meeting by using Adobe Connect. I want to edit the file and split in small time. So I save the recording in local by clicking "Make Offline". When I play back the file from local, the sound and video become unsynchronized.
Any idea and how to sort it out.
Thanks in advance,
Nicho

As I recall, there is an issue with Windows 8 and the offline recording function. Not sure if you are using Windows 8, but it may be worth trying to do it on another computer.
However, before you go down that road, know that the FLV versions of the meeting recordings are notoriously difficult to edit. If you don't need to have the recordings in a different format, I would recommend that you do the following instead (will be much faster overall).
Take the URL for your meeting recording and add /output/YourNameHere.zip?download=zip. You can name the zip file whatever you want. This will pull the recording source files down to your local computer. Next, browse to a desired location in your Content library in Connect and re-upload that zip file. You can name it whatever you want, and even create a custom URL for it. Once it is uploaded you will have a second version of the same recording on your server. Just re-upload that zip file as many times as needed. You can then edit each version of the recording separately, allowing you to create as many versions of the recording as needed.

Audio and video issue after Win 10 Upgrade - Split X2 laptop 64-bit

Any solution to the Audio and Video issues on Split X2 13" laptop after Windows 10 FREE Upgrade?? - Intel Core i5 processor- 4GB memory I'm sure others are have the same Audio/video problems: - there is Sound and video playback but the sound and video is repeated slowly forward....impossible to understand the audio. The video is clear but also being played in repeated frames as it moves slowly forward!- sounds coming out of the speakers ok - everything was working great on Windows 8.1 (before upgrading to Windows 10). there must be some kind of driver upgrade for IDT High Definition CODEC BEATS audio... is there a work-around until a real fix is provided?? Regards - VK

I have downloaded and installed the HP recommended IDT Audio Driver using the HP Assistant. The current installed IDT High Definition Audio CODEC driver is: STWRT64.sys 6.10.6498.0 The laptop was rebooted but the problem still the same.....Audio is garbeled and impossible to understand the words...video seems ok when playing Youtube videos. My Split 13 X2 product id is: E2S66AV BIOS F.27

Can a MacBook (Early 2008) Support both sound and video to 1080p HDTV by Mini-DVI to HDMI cable?

Can a MacBook (Early 2008) Support both sound and video to 1080p HDTV by Mini-DVI to HDMI cable?

The mini dvi on the MacBook will only support video, in order to get audio you'll need to a cable from the sound out port to the sound in port on the TV.

How do you get sound and video from a macbook pro (before 2010) onto a 2010 toshiba 40" tv?

Any help on connecting a macbook pro (late 2009) to a 2010 toshiba 40" for both sound and video? I have the mini-hdmi cable, but have no idea about running sound through the tv. I can use the headphone jack, but don't know where to connect it to on the back of the tv. Am I supposed to change any settings on the tv or computer to allow the sound to go through the tv? thanks for any help.

You need a stereo mini to RCA break out cable.

Equium-A100-147 - broken sound and video

Hi everyone,
I have the Equium A100-147, Its been working fine for last couple of year.
But in the last few weeks has get problem in sound and video (broken sound and video).
The sound is breaking and sometimes uable to listen + video breaking and so much delay due to its get so slow with so much sound distorsion etc..
This remains after new installation (format HDD) of Wind XP unable to fix even installed new drivers.
The Device Manager shows all drivers including audio and video working ok, d'nt know what's problem please help me.
Thanks.

Hi
Something like that can happen during high HDD activity this means that the reading/writing process could affect the sound/video playback
But usually this should not take long time
At the other hand this can happen because of higher temperature
High temperature can affect the CPU and GPU performance
I think you have used this notebook for couple of month without any troubles in my opinion you should check if cooling modules and fans are clogged and could remove the dust and debris from cooling modules use compressed air spray this helps p get rid of dust
Maybe then the notebook will run much better
