    Google Chrome Sound Issue


    When watching YouTube videos online it takes approx 5 seconds before I can hear the sound to the video. The picture continues showing and there is no buffering.

    Any ideas why on Google Chrome I can't hear sound until I'm 5 seconds into the video?

    Tried various videos, same thing. Sound loads fine on Firefox.

    Most youtube problems with Chrome were caused by the Pepper Flash plugin

    Try to disable the Pepper Flash plugin (not all of flash, just this plugin)

    Type about:plugins in the address bar and disable it under the Macromedia section

    What side effects will there be from doing this?

    P.S. I'll let you know how I get on later.

    There should be no side effects. Chrome has it's own flash, and most users also have flash installed on their systems. It is the 2 that seem to be the issue, and disabling the pepper flash is what seems to fix most of these issues. If no help, just enable it again. A Guy
