When Firefox starts and I go to youtube or any other website that needs flash player, the sound of the video is ok.

But after a while and after I have seen some videos for some time (pausing, repeating etc.) then when the flash player plays a video you can hear a noise I could say a white noise messing with the sound of the video.

If I restart Firefox then there is no noise again for some time.

Hi,

Have you tried this in other browsers?

Yes I have. In Chrome I have not noticed any problem with the flash player at all

Try going to the Plugin Update page and updating your Flash version.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:

  • disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
  • disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
  • disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
