No sound, video stops playing after few seconds

[jjpijpker]

Hey,

I have a problem with my Flashplayer. When i watch videos on websites like Youtube of so, sometimes it happens that my Flashplayer doesn't play the sound. The video will play for about two seconds (the whole video is loaded) and than, just stops playing. I can just drag to another part of the video, from which two seconds wil be played again. After i refresh Firefox, the problem usualy is gone. Does anyone else have this problem and more important, who can tell me the solution...?

Try installing the debug version of Flash 9, I haven't seen any problems with any flash content [and that is the version I use]. It seems like the problem is cross platform, just like the Flash VM, so maybe it will be solved with the debug version. Good luck.

I just wanted to say THANKS to Mazzolar and Mike95060. Their help solved this problem for me, after two months of trying to figure it out. So far I have consistent sound for two hours!

Search this topic for their names or the date 02/09/2008 to learn to copy the NPSWF32.dll into the proper folder.

Thanks!

I'm having the problem on NFL.com. Funny, the commercial before the video plays just fine but the video freezes. I installed the latest version of Flash but it didn't help. Screw it, I'll watch ESPN on the tube.

Did you try to downgrade flash player?

Those using firefox, exit Firefox, and just go to the following directory "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles", and delete the folder in there (don't worry, it will be recreated when you next launch FF). THis should rectify the issue for you.

If it's not working than, download an older wesion. For me it's wprking propertly.

Works after reboot for maybe 2 pages or times. mp3's and flv's won't play. Even when I add a flv inside a swf it won't play. Just stops after 2 frames or 2 seconds on streaming video. For mp3's it just won't start. Like myspace. So it's not a browser issue. Please someone fix this. My computer doesn't work right. Been like this for months. It has nothing to do with the browsers. It's the flash player.

Yes, it's working for me in ie, and not in firefox since the (forced) upgrade. I'll stick with ie.

davefrade,
Use Flash 10 beta in Firefox 3 and you'll be fine.

Well, I was having this same 2-second video freeze issue. I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit so I have to run flash under firefox32. Detail:

What I found was that /tmp appeared to be full despite lots of disk space (check bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/285096). After a reboot, things were back to normal (that is, /tmp didn't appear to be a separate filesystem).

This is where I confirmed that the Flash player cared about /tmp: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-275947.html
