running latest version of Firefox on desktop PC OS Win 7 Home Premium 64bit (recently migrated from Win XP Pro SP3 32 bit

Audio on YouTube videos pops and crackles; does it all the time when video is full screen... does it with small screen when mouse pointer is moving

Tried running Firefox in safe mode... no joy.. still popping.

Would appreciate a solution.

By the way this problem does not happen with Chrome... but Chrome is getting so bloated with features I prefer to use Firefox.

Thanks
