ALL Flash Audio Stuttering: YouTube, Pandora, etc

Report · Oct 04, 2013

Within the last few days, something must have updated that is causing ALL my Flash Player streams to stutter miserably while playing in either Chrome or Safari. This inludes sites like YouTube, Pandora, Grooveshark, Spotify, etc.

I'm running Mac OS X Version 10.8.5 on a MacBook Air 1.3Ghz Intel Core i5, 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3.

Adobe Flash version is the latest version.

The stutter is an infrequent clicking that sounds like my speakers are being destroyed. Strictly a Flash problem because all local music and non-flash players play audio perfectly.

Please help or participate if you're having a similiar problem.

Best,

MM

Any actual fixes for this?

I don't have multiple Flash extensions. I don't have "Spelunky HTML5".

In fact I opened Chrome Canary and have ONLY the Adobe Flash plugin enabled. Audio still stutters. Any activity on my desktop - not just in the browser - causes the Flash audio to stutter.

Been dealing with this issue for months... So frustrating. Exact same issues... only in Chrome and would go away temporarily with a chrome restart.

I finally just solved it.

I figured that it must be an extension conflict. In my case it was... it was the Techsmith Snagit extension. As soon as I disabled it my problems went away.

I was so excited that I actually just made an account to share this with any other perplexed and sad users.

Cheers.

I'm having this problem too, but have never heard of Techsmith Snagit. It is nowhere to be found on my computer.

Any updates for newest 13" MB Pro retina with this same problem? Still on Yosemite. Can't get anything to sound all of a sudden unless it's audio from my desktop mp3s.

brosk, I cannot thank you enough. I can't even remember for how long I've had this problem. I've searched for answers off and on for months, and *finally* landed on your easy fix. And it was an immediate fix; I didn't even have to open and close Chrome! Once I deleted SnagIt, the audio stutter was GONE. What a relief! Thanks so very much and HALLELUJAH! 🙂
