Question

Flash Player ignores my sound settings

With my Creative Xi-Fi Sound card software I have accurately configured how stereo sound has to be upmixed. This especially includes the crossover frequency and volume of my subwoofer. Unfortunately the Adobe Flash Player is the only software (I am currently using), which does completely ignore this and does its own 5.1 upmixing. Unfortunately this gives me way to much bass and makes youtube less entertaining (especially when watching music clips).

Why isn't there any option to disable this 5.1 upmix and let the user decide (system wide) how stereo sound has to be treated?

Best regards

I'm unaware of any way to adjust Flash Player audio settings. The UI simply reads code from the page, including audio settings.

When I activate youtube's (experimental) html5 player, the videos sound as I have configured my sound card. Without any excessive bass or any forced 5.1 upmix.

Unfortunately the html5 player does not work with all videos and on those videos youtube does a fallback to flash player, which again gives me the wrong upmix behaviour.

HTML5 doesn't use Flash Player, so it sends different code through your browser.

But again, there are no user sound settings for Flash Player.
