Question

Videos freeze after 5-7 seconds, no audio at all - Google Chrome

Win7 x64

Google Chrome 21.0.1180.60 m

Flash version 11.3.31.222

My os is 64-bit, but the "what version of flash are you running" window says it's 32-bit. Which strikes me as odd. Anyway,

Problem is basically laid out in the subject. No matter what video I try to play, it freezes after a few seconds. There is no audio whatsoever. I tried the uninstall (using the uninstaller) I found in another Flash forum, but it didn't help. As a matter of fact, running the uninstaller made no difference at all. Videos still played for a few seconds, sans audio, then froze.

Is there a fix for this? It only started happening yesterday.

Update: Also happens in Firefox. IE works fine.

    Nothing? Really? I'm the only person on the internet with this problem?

    One thing I noticed.. all the sites that check my version say I'm running 11.3.31.222. The most recent version is 11.3.300.268. However, no matter what I try, I can't get that version to install. I even tried the manual installer after a clean uninstall. No luck.

    ??

    Help! I don't want to use Opera!

    Update: I did the clean flash player uninstall again. I also uninstalled and reinstalled chrome. I reset my router.

    I got 2 youtube videos to play, and then the problem resurfaced. Now no videos will play again.

    /sigh

    Our Chrome browser not only automatically updates it's version (21.0.1180.60m) without notice , but the Shockwave Flash (11.3.31.222/ 11.3.300.268) plugins too!!!

    I had to disable 11.3.31.222 along w. 11.3.300.268 and have 11.2 r202 (11.2.202.235) solely enabled again because this time, i had 'shockwave plugin unresponsive' at some websites that stalled pages, and of 11.3.300.268., 'unresponsive shockwave plugin' refused to play YT.

    *type: chrome://plugins in address bar in chrome -  click the + on the top right

    And enable/disable plugins

    I think d/l's here might very well work:  http://www.oldapps.com/flash_player.php

    or, directly

    (Although it seems some are not happy w. crashing browsers and such with 11.3.300.268 version!?)

    Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.268 (Non-IE)
