Blank cam/mic names

I have a problem that started a few days ago without me making any changes to my ASUS laptop running Win 8.1. When using Chrome (version 46.0.2490.71 m) with the most current embeded flash player (19.0.0.207), when i try to use my webcam, the names of the cams are blank. this is the same for the microhone. before i could switch between built in cam & plug in external no problem. My guess is it has something to do with the PPAPI/NPAPI thing i dont really understand, but i do notice in my chorme plug ins is says PPAPI is out of process. My cams & flash player work perfectly fine with IE. Ive tried uninstalling & re-installing both chrome & flash with the same results. i have actually d/l a newer version of flash player that is PPAPI (19.0.0.219) but i cant get chrome to recognize or use it. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    This is a known bug in Chrome M46.  It's been reported to Google.
