So this only started happening recently and the only thing I can think of that I have recently done is update my Adobe Flash (directly from their website) and Firefox auto updates itself.

I'll be watching a Twitch steam, browsing YouTube or Tumblr and I'll try and play a video off youtube/tumblr and it'll play with no sound though the Twitch stream I'm watching will still be making sound. So I'll close the browser, reopen the browser, head to youtube, no sound on any videos, nothing from tumblr, nothing from twitch, flash videos won't play beyond the first frame. Close browser, reopen. Constant Flash crashes.

Only way to remedy this is to reboot entire computer.

Help?

Nothing of the above helped. It's still happening.
