    Hi,

     

    My stuttering audio problem is *NOT* fixed with this final version 265. I get this in IE or FF. When I revert to a previous release (anything before about 3 weeks ago). The

    stuttering audio is resolved.

    I've just updated Flash Player with today's release 11.3 r300 and my problems in Firefox are now worse.  I'm trying to play Facebook games such as Bejewelled Blitz and Solitaire Blitz.  I got sluggishness and screen freezes in Bejewelled Blitz which seemed to get progressively worse with each game.  I have tried restarting my computer, and that did not help.  Clearing the cashe in Firefox seemed to help with one game, but then when I played again, the game was more sluggish and had momentary freezes.  Then when I moved over to Solitaire Blitz, the screen was slow to update and change from one playing card to the next card in the stack.  I had some slight sluggishness in the games with the prior version, but now it's much worse.  I think I need to go back to an older version when I have time to make the changes, unless you come up with a fix tomorrow.

     

    Thank you.

    Hello, i am having sound distortion and volume problems with the new build (11.3.300.265).All previous versions of flash did not present any sound issue.

     

    My soundcard is an Creative X-fi Notebook expresscard.

     

    This problem is present on Firefox, Opera and IE browsers. Chrome is having no problems since it uses version 11.3.300.257

    I forgot to mention that Flash Player crashed after playing Solitaire Blitz.  I have tried again and am still experiencing major problems with these games in Firefox.  I'm using a fairly new, good, fast PC with Windows 7, and these games were working better on my old, clunky, Windows XP laptop (which I use away from home) yesterday.  I just tried Solitaire Blitz again on the good computer using Internet Explorer 8, and it flies there.  So the issues is specific to Firefox.  I generally prefer Firefox, so please get this fixed.  Thank you.

    Still isn't working for me.  I have XP and using Chrome.  Updated the Chrome which automatically updates newest verions of Flash.  Played a video and it worked fine for a couple of minutes and then went right back to doing the skipping sound.  I can't go back to the older version of Flash on Chrome because it won't let you, but my IE works just fine.  I hate using IE though

    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.

    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.

    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

    i'd uncheck the "hardware acceleration" under settings on the flash player, that solved the problem for me.

    I unchecked the hardware acceleration box, disabled the Real Player recorder extension, etc.; none of these helped for me.  I'm still having to bring up IE when I want to play those Flash games on Facebook; they no longer work in Firefox.

    Jul 16, 2012 9:08 AM   in reply to Chris Campbell

    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!

    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 dont even know whether it is a problem caused by Adobe. I can speak only for myself, but I have only trouble with Flash in combination with Firefox. So it i possible that the guys at Mozilla have to do some work as well.

    I'm experiencing heavy video stutter in fullcreen mode (what looks like only 2-3 frames per second, audio plays fine), on a Macbook Pro late 2008 running OS X 10.7.4, on FF, Chrome and Safari. Playing within a window presents no problem though. We haven't been able to date the start of the problem (as it is my wife's MBP and she made do with the problem for some time before I noticed it), but it is several months, ie dating to before release 257.

     

    We have another Macbook Pro early 2008 running the same OS and same browsers and it is not experiencing the problem.

     

    I have uninstalled Flash several times and reinstalled with no apparent effect.

     

    Weirder still, I have tried to unsintall the latest version, and tried each release back to 10.3 (ie with some that must have worked at some point) but the stutter persists with ALL VERSIONS. I did reboot between installs as advised in the archive version notes.

    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.

    I just now updated Flash Player with your new version and tried again to play Solitaire Blitz on Facebook, using Firefox 14.  I believe there may be a very slight improvement but it is still terrible.  Two versions ago, there was just a slight delay in the game.  Then the last update which was supposed to be better made things much, much worse and the screen was very choppy and did not update the graphics at times.  Now it's still very slow to display and it is still impossible to play the game correctly, but it may be a very slight improvement.  I hope it still works ok with IE 8.  Why can't you just go back three versions ago, when everything worked correctly, and start over from there?  Thank you.

     

    P.S.  I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, 4 GB RAM, with Intel i3 processor @ 2.27GHz.

    (Now there is no way to check on other computers)

     

    The same application that (with 11.3.300.265) used CPU by 50-70%, now shows 35-45%

    Better, but still a lot...
