    Flash Player - YouTube Video Stops After a Second


    Just recently after I did a fresh OS install on my old laptop, YouTube started acting up.

    Every video that uses flash has no sound and will play for one second, rewind to 0:00 for three times in an attempt to start playing again and then an error will come up.

    I have 64 bit OS - Windows 7, 32bit Firefox (newest) and newest version of Adobe Flash Player.

    I tried clearing my browser's cache, disabling addons, restarting firefox, restarting my laptop, re-installing flash player, using another browser (Opera) searching the forums and I'm here now.

    Any help would be great :3 thanks.

    Try without Flash. Go here: YouTube and click the button Request the HTML5 player

    I did, didn't help at all. Only the new videos can play using HTML5 (I tried many and none work), and this isn't a proper fix. I'm not looking for a temporary fix.

    Thanks

    Does your speakers work? It may be a sound problem. I found an old issue with the same problem. It worked with headphones plugged in.

    Yeah, of course they do :) mostly though.
    I'm able to listen to music with AIMP, but Media Player Classic Home Cinema won't play audio from my recorded wideo that had sound this morning. Yesterday I have disabled my microphone in devices (I have my reasons) I'll try re-enabling that and we'll see what happens then.

    Edit: Turns out that disabling the mic + running AIMP all the time somehow breaks flash player.
