Hi, I have sound issues on my mac and safari when trying to stream sound through my bluetooth speaker (Beoplay A2 Active). The sounds is chopping and shortly after the streaming stops and tries to buffer. Seems like the bluetooth connection interferes with flash player.

Flashplayer was updated yesterday to version 27.0.0.159

macOS Sierra: 10.12.6

Any thoughts?

Flash Player doesn't know about the bluetooth speaker. It just sends audio to the operating system's multimedia subsystems, which handle the details.

The range on bluetooth isn't great, particularly in real-world situations where you have obstructions and other wireless devices (phones, wifi, etc.) in close proximity.

There's not really anything you're going to do from Flash Player to help with the performance of your bluetooth speaker, but I bet that if you move the speaker and computer close to each other and remove phones and other radios, you'll see good performance. Moving the speaker away slowly until the audio connection drops should give you a good idea of what the actual range is in your situation.

Ok, thanks. I'll try it out. I don't think it has something to do with distance. Maybe too much interference.

Still no sound input in latest Chrome 61.0 - Flash can't record audio. No audio inputs in flash. Yandex browser 17.9 (chromium) same story.

I'm trying beta version 27,0,0,154 - No luck.

Also settings page is unavailable under chrome (404) - http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html

P.s. Older versions of browsers like opera 46.0 (chromium - Chrome 59) - OK! All works!

Here's a working link to the settings manager:

Where did that link that you're using come from? I'm wondering if we have a bad link in one of the localized websites or something.

Do issues include the inability of Flash to recognize my external soundcard when I'm trying to watch HBONow? UPDATE: Installed beta per instructions above; problem appears resolved.
