Same here. Still getting skipping and stuttering audio with XP on firefox. Videos play fine in IE. Sick of changing to IE every time to watch a youtube video

I notice most of these 'solution' posts seem to be about flash crashing completely but when will there be a fix for the stuttering and jumping audio problem???

I did try to install flash in Internet Explorer and flash would not work at all. I was getting total distortion and a yellow flshing across the screen and couldn't even see a thing.  So can't even use it there. So I installed Google Chrome and flash works great. I hope there is a solution soon in Firefox as its my favorite browser to use. Since all my installing and reinstalling flash I am now having problems with Facebook loading in Firefox. I have to try a few times before I can get it to come on. I don't know if that has anything to do with it but thats when my Facebook problem started.

I registered for the forum just so I could reply here that the new version (.265) is not working for me in Firefox 13. The audio for YouTube videos now works fine (it used to stop after 10-30 seconds), but the video continues to be completely shot. I get mostly still frames that change every 5-10 seconds. On the "find what version of flash you have" page, the little animation at the top splits into vertical bars that are doing different parts of the animation at the same time. I'm using Windows 7 64-bit.

The newest update (.265) did not alleviate any of the issues that I've had for the past couple of weeks. I'm still unable to use YouTube or any other flash heavy websites (IGN, GameTrailers, etc.). Trying to load any of those pages without disabling the plug-in will result in FireFox locking-up.

Just FYI, my PC uses:

Vista Home Premium

32-bit operating system

Intel Core Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40Ghz.

I guess it's back to IE (blegh) until another 'fix' is rolled out.

Thanks for trying though. I know it'll be fixed eventually.

I installed the newest Adobe flash 11.2.300.265 update today and it did not work well at all. I tried to play a game on Pogo and it was totally distorted and it kept freezing. I had to again uninstall and go back to the 10.3 version. That is the only one that seems to work in Firefox. I will have to wait until an update that's proven to work with Firefox. I have uninstalled too many times the last few weeks.

It updated Flash to 11.3 in the background after I downgraded it for the reason I was getting sound distortion on YouTube. I was told it was my computer, my issue, but it soon became a bug.

Surely enough this latest version has the same distortion issue on my computer [Windows 7, Firefox, x86]

I have downgraded to 10.2 until I know for sure the new Flash is going to keep my Audio playing normally [It sounds like gain is turned up too much] using YouTube.

Audio is force-played through all speakers on my 5.1 speaker setup after the latest .265 update. Reverting to an older flash player version fixes the problem so the newest update is what causes it.Basically even in the older flash videos on youtube, which certainly have no 5.1 audio, the sound comes from all five speakers even though it shouldn't. Also, the overall gain is quite a bit higher and the bass boomier when compared to the previous flash player version.

Specs: Win7 x64, X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty, Newest Chrome and IE

My company has written a digital signage application that runs in flash and includes a video player component that needs to run 24/7. The application ran fine on older versions of the player using Snow Leopard on the mac mini. Since the advent of Lion, flash video on the Mac mini is too unstable to be useable for this application. We have tested on a variety of browsers and the results are the same.

After a couple of weeks of testing we have isolated two separate (though possible related issues):

1. Using stageVideo/GPU acceleration on Lion, video will freeze after roughly 2-5 hours of play. If the video freezes midway in the movie, that main application thread will actually still be running (timer events fire, etc). However, if the video freezes at the end or if code is integrated to detect the freeze and move on to the next move, as soon as the netstream object is referenced in any way [via the dispose() method, for instance] the main application thread itself will die (silently with no errors thrown).

The video freezes seem to be correlated to the following errors being logged in /var/log/syslog

Jul 9 05:09:02 XpoLDS128_131 PluginProcess[59422]: AVF error: Dithering:: pushPicturePrepareCmdOOLD, CVPixelBufferPoolCreatePixelBuffer

Jul 9 05:09:02 XpoLDS128_131 PluginProcess[59422]: AVF error: OOLD cmd_info->args == NULL

Jul 9 05:09:02 XpoLDS128_131 PluginProcess[59422]: AVF error: Gen6IntelGVAScheduleAVDCommands, OOLD err = 5

Jul 9 05:09:27 XpoLDS128_131 PluginProcess[59422]: AVF error: faild to create pixel buffer

2. If stageVideo is disable and a traditional video object is used, the video loops will run much longer -- running for 20-40 hours before freezing. While the incidence of failure is less frequent, it is still not acceptable for a 24/7 application. Entries in /var/log/syslog also suggest issues with the interface to the AVFoundation [although this is just a correlation -- not necessarily a cause and effect]:

Jul 13 13:03:46 XpoLDS128_131 PluginProcess[471]: AVF error: scheduleDecodeFrame codecBadDataErr nal_size err : acc_size = 156663, datasize = 156663, nal_count = 0...

Jul 13 13:03:46 XpoLDS128_131 PluginProcess[471]: AVF error: scheduleDecodeFrame codecBadDataErr nal_size err : acc_size = 163244, datasize = 163244, nal_count = 0...

Jul 13 13:03:46 XpoLDS128_131 PluginProcess[471]: AVF error: AVC_RBSP::parseSliceHeader error

Jul 13 13:03:46 XpoLDS128_131 PluginProcess[471]: AVF error: pushPicture parseSliceHeader

Jul 13 13:03:46 XpoLDS128_131 PluginProcess[471]: AVF warning: OutputQueueReadyCallback buffer == NULL

If anyone has had periodic video freezing on Mac OSX Lion, your issues could be related to mine. I opened up a bug case on the GPU issue a week ago, but it has yet to be picked up.

Please vote the issue up if you are having similar problems:  https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3278625

Thanks kindly!

Josh

Unfortunately, the 11.3.300.265 release has not solved my choppy audio problems in Firefox 13 with Windows XP. In fact the problem now appears to be somewhat worse because the audio gaps are longer. The details were reported in bug #3214996.

Does anyone know if there are any updates planned soon? I am using Adobe 10.3 right now as the later versions didn't work for me. Is it okay for me to just stay with the 10.3 until all problems are fixed? Firefox just had an update to 14.0.1 and I am truly hoping that Adobe comes up with an update that will finally work with Firefox.

Another question can using Adobe 10.3 be the reason why I am having problems connecting to Facebook and the games. I can get in but it takes many tries before I can get it to load. Any help would be appreciated.

This Update did not solve any of the problems of Flash Version 13.

I use Firefox 14 at the moment. But I had the same issues with Firefox 12 and 13. I definitely can say that the problems began since I have installed Flash Version 13.

Only a downgrade to Version 12 has solved the case.

My problems in particular are that whenever I try to maximize a video in a Flash-Player (e.g. Youtube, twitch.tv, own3d.tv) the plugin crashes. Further I have performance issues with these videos (low frame rate).

I have to use Opera instead where everything runs smoothly.

And its interesting to mention that I have only problems on my rather old desktop pc (AMD Athlon X2 4600+, 32 bit Windows 7). I am running another laptop (Intel Core 2 Duo T9300, 64 bit Windows 7) where I do not have any porblems in firefox at all.

I use exactly the same plugins in firefox on both, the desktop pc and the laptop.

I did update my flash today and it still would not work in Firefox. I again had to uninstall and reinstall flash 10.3. I tried games and they either wouldn't work at all or would only load half way. Is it okay for me to just keep the 10.3 which works great. Should I have uninstalled the 10.3 before installing the new update? I just installed the update without removing my current flash. I'm getting all confused.
