Hello, in all DxDiag files I see the same outdated audio driver (11/20/2010 / Realtek HD Audio)
Please download and install the latest audio driver from here:
Update:
More with this old driver:

I just literally upgraded mine 15 minutes ago. I just started having the same issue. This is on you tube. The video continues to play but the sound just cuts out. If I move the video forward by grabbing the bar the sound comes back for a few seconds then goes away.

Same here.
Just now, my videoes have started suddenly going mute, but still going forward. The sound comes back if I fast forward or reverse the video a little and it comes back, but then goes out again shortly after.
Very, very annoying.

Thanks for the feedback. I'd like to get an actionable bug filed.
It would be helpful to get some additional information to help narrow things down.
- URLs to a couple videos with the problem
- What quality are you watching them at (380p, 720p, etc)
- Are you watching them in Full-Screen mode, or embedded in the browser window
To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
- Operating system
- Browser and Version
- Specific Flash Player Version (example: 11.7.700.178) - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
Try disabling Hardware Acceleration, using the instructions below. Does the issue go away for you?
- Windows - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html
- Mac - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.htm
If so, it would so helpful to get your system hardware and driver details. Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
- Windows - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_For_Windows_users

I've been having the same problem, and I've done a few things to attempt to resolve the problem, but to no avail.
I've tried an external sound card, new USB ports(Belkin PCI card), 4 different browsers(Chrome, Firefox, IE9, Opera) and the problem still persists. In my experience, audio will randomly cut out, but in the case of youtube, the video will continue to play. Changing the position sometimes fixes the problem until it cuts out again. Sometimes, the only way to get audio back is to refresh the page.
youtube video URLs:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nk7ConblPbw
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osavObqP-5w
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsGMJI0D9vo
Video quality: Due to ISP youtube throttling, I almost always watch at 360p. The problem exists when the video is embedded or at youtube.com. I usually don't watch full-screen. The problem can occur if the flash audio tab is not open.
Windows 7 Professional SP1
Chrome 26.0.1410.64 m
Firefox 20.0.1
Opera 12.15
Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421 64-bit
Flash version in Chrome: 11.7.700.179
Flash version in Opera: 11.7.700.169
Flash version in Firefox: 11.7.700.169
Disabling hardware acceleration is not an option in Chrome's flash settings. The first tab simply does not exist. The option is in firefox, however.
A screen shot of the settings box I took on the flash sample video page using Chrome:
Here's my dxdiag: http://www.mediafire.com/view/?qu6uoyfy6tddg22

I'm not seeing this on my Win7 Enterprise x64 machine with Chrome 26.0.1410.64m and Firefox 20 with Flash Player 11.7.700.179 (NPAPI or PPAPI). You're correct that the PPAPI Flash Player doesn't have a hardware acceleration dialog. It's always on by definition in that architecture.
From your DXDiag, it looks like you're using USB headphones. I tried my logitech gaming headset as well, but didn't see the problem there, either. All of the drivers listed are generic Windows drivers, so I couldn't figure out what you had for an internal sound card. Are you seeing this with both the USB headphones and your sound card output?
You're on a fast machine with plenty of RAM, so that's probably not an issue... are you running any AntiVirus/AntiMalware stuff? If so, what products and versions?
Thanks!

Sorry, you totally spelled that out. This would not be the first realtek-specific bug I've tracked down in recent history. For the rest of you folks that are seeing this issue, can you provide the output of dxdiag? I'm trying to figure out what the common denominator is.
Thanks!

I believe that this problem has to be something with the adobe flash player because this started happening after I had updated my adobe flash player a couple of days ago. It has to be something new that you guys added to adobe flash player. It does happen to me frequently and my computer is not very new but the sound going out and the screen freezing happens more frequently when i go into full screen. I am just wondering if you guys at adobe should check the last update you guys did. I don't believe it is anything to do with our computers.

I get that. In order to fix the problem, I need to be able to reproduce it, or at least gather enough data to produce an actionable bug.
If I file a bug that says "some guys on the forum are having sound problems, and one of them has a realtek card", it will just linger and die. I'm way more interested in getting it fixed.
At this point I only have one data point, which doesn't help me prove anything.

This is great, thanks. I don't have this exact laptop in our compatibility lab, but I have some Dells with similar chipsets. I'll take a look tomorrow and see if I can repro there.
According to CNET, this machine has an Intel GMA 4500MHD for on-board audio and video, so it's probably not a realtek-specific thing.

I have 3 devices capable of producing sound in my system. The HDMI out in the video card, the onboard realtech, and an Alesis iO2 USB sound card.
The HDMI out audio can have the issue.
The built in sound chip has optical out as well as headphone out in the front and back. I do not have the problem when using the headphone jack in the front. I don't ever use the headphone jack in the back, so I can't comment on that. I do have the problem when using the digital optical out.
The Alesis iO2 USB sound card outputs to my professional amplifier directly, and I can have the issue with it, as well. It was with this device that I got the new USB ports to see if that was the issue. After that, I got a DAC to use the optical out with the built in sound chip, but the optical out has the problem, as stated above.
I just use microsoft's security essentials. I have no idea the version.

Are you also experiencing the video issue that's described in the original post? I'm thinking that these are probably separate issues. If that's the case, I want to keep them discrete so they get sent to the right people.

I've filed the following bug with RobinDobbie's feedback on audio:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3553463
I filed the other bug to cover the general video performance issue:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3553467
I'm trying to figure out when this broke for most of you. Were you already using the Beta before the upgrade, or were you on the release version previously (Flash Player 11.6.602.169)?

I am on 11.7.7 right now. My audio cutting out and video freezing began after I updated my adobe flash player on may 1st. I have been uninstalling it and installing it to see if I can stop it, but so far there has been no change.

Before 11.7.7 I believe I was using 11.6.

I would suggest to anyone else having the problem to try sites that are not flash before assuming this is a flash problem. I'm now not entirely sure my problem is Adobe specific. I've found a few sites that I believe don't use Adobe Flash, but also exhibit the problem of Audio cutting out and the progress bar still going. Pandora, Slacker, MySpace, Playlist.com to name a few. So, I apologize for wasting anyone's time.

Comparing HTML5-based Youtube videos with Flash-based Youtube videos is a good troubleshooting step.
- HTML5 video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTl3U6aSd2w&html5=True
- Non-HTML5 video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTl3U6aSd2we

While I didn't have a problem with the first link, it's a bit short in length. I have had the audio cut out that quickly, but it's random.
I did, however, experience the problem with the following video about 6 minutes in.

If anyone out there has more than one headphone jack, I may have found a solution. The work around I found for my situation is that I disabled jack detection in the windows registry.
I opened regedit by pressing the 'Start' button, then typed REGEDIT. I right-clicked regedit.exe and clicked "Run as Administrator"
In regedit, I clicked the Edit tab, then selected Find. I searched for "EnableDynamicDevices"
I then changed the value to all zeros.
The downside to this is my headphones do not automatically work when I plug them in. I have to choose the headphone output or whatever as the default device when I want headphones or whatever. However, audio does not randomly disappear while listening or watching internet sources.

I am experiencing this same issue with sound cutting out followed by video stopping. I am using Firefox 20.0.1 and Flash 11.7.700.169
Web pages include: narutoget.com bleachget.com watchop.com
I watched both videos you posted and neither of them paused.
I am running video and sound through HDMI wirelessly to a television (since sound drivers / output device may be part of the problem).
Here is my dxdiag up to the sound information. (sorry, I don't know how to upload it to a webpage like everyone else did).

Oh no! It looks like something bad happened when we pushed yesterday's AIR update to the Beta channel.
Thanks for the head's up. We're looking at it now. I'll update again when the builds are up.
