Flash Player doesn't play smoothly and out of sync in full screen

Hello! Everyone

The flash player (11.2.202.235) does not play smoothly and in full screen audio and vidoe is out of sync.  I didn't use to have any problem at all, it only started about two weeks ago and since then despite trying various things (i.e. disabling hardware excelration, uninstalling & reinstalling, trying various browsers etc.) has not resolved the issue.  I don't know why it has suddenly stopped playing smoothly as I have not installed any software recently which might have cuased this. 

I am using Windows XP (service pack3) and have dual partion with dual operating system (both XP).  There is the same problem on both operarting system and flash player won't run smoothly on either of them.  Although my computer and graphics card is quite old but the downloaded movies/DVD playback is fine even in full screen.  It runs smoothly and audio&video is in sync so I don't think it could my the graphics card. 

As I mentioned I have tried all the browsers but without any luck.  The BBC iplayer plays ok most of the time if not in full screen but as soon as you make it full screen the vidoe is more like a slide show and very jittery and audio&video gets out of sync.  Same with youtube vidoes, they play ok when not in full screen but the video in full screen does not play smoothly and audio&vidoes gets out of sync.  However the ITV player & Channel 4 content on 4OD does not even play smoothly when not in full screen and the video&audio is out of sync all the time. 

It would be really helpful if anyone can suggest anything to resolve this issue as I have not been able to find anything on the internet to solve the problem and its driving me up the wall.  Although I have tried to include as much details as I could think of so please let me know if I have missed any details that could be crucial in order to identify the problem.

Thank you very much for reading this and taking the time to reply and your feedback.

The first thing I would try is to update the device driver for your display adapter; see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765.

Please ignore my earlier suggestion; I just checked the S3 legacy driver page, and there seems to be a slightly newer driver available.  But that driver is from 2004 as well, and I don't think that it will make a big difference.

Does the issue get better if you disable Hardware Acceleration (see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/891337)?

Hi! Pat,

Thanks for your response.  Unfortunately disabling Hardware Acceleration makes no difference at all.

Would you mind opening a new bug on this at bugbase.adobe.com?  Please include your dxdiag report, a specific URL and a link to this forum thread.

In the meantime, you might want to try our 11.3 beta or rollback to a previous version of the player to see if that resolves the problem.

Thanks,

Chris
