Sound breaking up

[Frikster]

Not sure if you are the guys i should be asking but i figured since its a sound issue and it happens on my windows 7...

So its related to google chrome and youtube . Whenever a video is played on youtube and i am doing something else ( switching tabs , opening stuff , etc ) the audio breaks . i tried this on firefox and i have 0 issues.

So is it my sound card, google chrome , youtube , any addon / plug-in problem ... ?

Hope i can get an answer since this is a really annoying problem

If you need any more info please just ask.
Thank you!

Hi Frikster,

It doesn't seem to be an issue with the sound card as it works fine in Firefox. Have you tried reinstalling google chrome on the system and check if it resolves the issue.

Keep us posted with the results so we can advise you further.

Hi Frikster,

Make sure that Java and Flash player is updated on the system:

Download Free Java Software

Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player

And re-installing chrome should have resolved the issue. Kindly perform a clean startup and let us know:

Hi Frikster,

Yes definitely it is an issue with the Google chrome as it works fine in other browsers. Can you confirm you reinstalled the Google chrome and issue still occurred with it.

If yes then let us know the version of chrome you are using on the system.

Keep us posted with the results so we can advise you further.

are you using the youtube flash player or HTML5 one? right click the player and it will tell you on the last thing shown.

also chrome uses pepper flash so unless he changes his flags in chromes settings it will not use the installed adobe version.

I reinstalled chrome.

When i right clikc a youtube video it says a bunch of stuff and in the end " About the HTML5 player " so i guss html ?

Anything else you need ?

to me the issue sounds like it possibly be related to not having enough "free ram" available. because if you are switching applications really quickly and even slowly like that; if the system does not have enough available free ram; it can cause audio, video, really pretty much you name it to "studder" or break up like that.

well my pc is using 2.55gb ( i have NO idea why ) out of my 4gb total.
Skype is using 175k , Idle( not using it ) ...
Chrome from 113k to 160k , 4 processes that are that level .. the rest are smaller

I was planning on getting 4 more gigs of ram .. you think that might be the problem ?

Simply put; yes!. because as i mentioned before; if your system does not have enough free ram to support several open tabs or windows at once; it will in fact cause applications like youtube that use audio and video to studder or react very slowly and poorly. I know this for a fact because i have experienced this myself on more than one occasion as a on-demand computer repair tech.

well then ill put get Ram on my to - do list on a higher priority level since i cant listen to music while i work properly and its really irritating. If anyone has any other suggestion please do share

Is everything okay with the current running flash ? should one of them be disabled ? i have heard only one instance of flash should be running

I bet it's not the ram

I have 8GB of ram and I'm using like 3-4GB Max (ALWAYS) and I have exactly the same problem, it's not just with chrome, even if media player is playing something the sound breaks if I click around or do whatever... even when something is loading same thing. I re-installed the drivers but no luck. This is TOO annoying considering the fact that I play music on my computer and recording stuff. :/ If anyone knows the solution please help

Audio Keeps breaking up

I just purchased a new HP Probook 450 G2

When I listen to the media player or online music the audio keeps breaking up as if there is electricity going through.
