Question

A sound problem in YouTube preventing me from updating flash player

Hello.

I'm stuck in v11.3.300.257(Win7/IE9) due to this matter.

My PC connected with only two speakers is configured as if it had six, since I'm using SRS audio sandbox, a kind of a virtual sound card over the physical one. The virtual card takes any 2ch/5.1ch sound, remaps it into 2ch which has some pseudo-5.1ch effects, and transmits it to the physical card.

After v11.3.300.257, the flash player has begun to read the virtual configuration that I have 5.1ch speakers. Almost all YouTube videos have 2ch sound streams. But the flash player kindly multiply the 2ch sound by 3 to fill all channels. And in my PC, the simply trippled sound would be merged into 2ch. The results are sound distortion and nerving noises.

I want my browsing safe. But if I have to stop the virtual card and change the windows sound settings to be safe whenever I'm going to YouTube, no, I'm too lazy to be able to do that. Any workaround?

I hope Adobe gives us some options, like 'take the sound [as it is/as # channels]' if it isn't that complicated to implement and time-consuming to distract developers from their priorities.

As you've known, I'm not a native speaker of any european language. But at least I wrote it in English. Don't turn me back at the witnessing of linguistic errors, and help me. Of course, you can laugh.

    I am not sure what the problem is; do you think it's a bug in Flash Player?  Or do you want a new feature in Flash Player?

    Both can be filed at https://bugbase.adobe.com/

    P.S. your English is excellent; many Americans write a lot worse than you.  Many times I cannot even understand what they are trying to say...

    Thank you, Pat.

    I didn't noticed the bugbase until you told me. I presumed Adobe had no time filing user requests about its freeware. I'm trying to proceed in a proper format.

    Although a compatibility issue is not a bug, I guess it could be a problem to some specific range of users. And in my case, it is also a security issue. In a forum, users could propose some tips, symptomatic workarounds,  or even registry hacks based on each one's own experience. I wanted to check them all.

    Again, I really appreciate your kindness to share your precious time. Thank you.

    Hi, I am not an expert in computers, however from what I've heard lately, the internet is full of viruses, bugs, malware, adwares all over the place.  I used to download games, music MP3s and all that.  But i've decided to quit using the computer to download stuff, and I what I do is that what ever music I want to hear, I rely on youtube.com.


    Maybe this is related with the issue you are having, but I used to watch movies from http://www.yify.tv/ but I dont know what the hell happened that all of a sudden I can't watch movies there in that site anymore.  I am also having trouble watching the live news feed of The Russia Today News channel here rt.com/on-air/
