Flash player skipping audio when full screening

Hi, whenever I full screen or go out of fullscreen using flash player, youtube or twitch.tv, the audio stops for like 1 second, and then resumes. This is extremely irritating and has caused me to use Chrome for the last few years, even though I like Firefox better. Is this something that is fixable?

I installed both Firefox and Flash literally 30 minutes ago, it doesn't get more updated than that.

This problem is not with firefox, problem can be with some extension.

Press Ctrl+Shift+ A and disable flash player plugin , restart Firefox, then check youtube, if audio still lags.

Firefox had got cisco video codec which is enabled by default. it is HTML 5.

if problem still exist. follow these steps.


Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

   * Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
   * Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Disabling Flash player helped with youtube, but I need to have it activated for Twitch

Tried starting it in safe mode with default theme, still the same as long as Flash is activated.

Go to control panel and change its view to small icons.

Click on flash player , then click on Advanced.

In browsing data and setting click on " delete all"

Video card drivers are up to date.

Tried what you suggested, didn't help.

Had you updated audio drivers as well ?

Download drivers only from vendor website and install them.

Try disabling cisco video plugin and enable flash player.

This problem is with Adobe flash player. Mozilla is working on own flash plugin shumway.

You can check it here

This is Mozilla firefox support forum, hopefully you understand.
