Flash video/audio skips

[psycovic23]

Hey,

I'm running FF3 and Flash 10, and for some reason, when FF has be open for a while and I try and watch a video, it progresses for a few seconds and then the audio starts skipping like a broken record. I can seek past a few seconds, and it'll play another second and do the same thing. If I close firefox and reopen it, it'll be okay.

I've found threads about this problem in the past, but they were all with flash 9. I have "nonfree-plugin" installed. After this problem showed up, I tried also installing "nonfree-plugin-extras", but it didn't help.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Installing libasound can help resolve stuttering

sudo apt-get install libasound2

sudo apt-get install libasound2-plugins

give it a try

I already had those installed.

i would look through that whole post carefully checking everything, and specifically i think APPENDIX B will help you.. the part about modifying the daemon.conf file.

peace.

Unfortunately, pulseaudio mucks up a lot of stuff on my system, so I'm back to esound. Any other possible ideas?

I had the same problem. Did you try installing the libasound2-dev package? That did it for me.

Cheers.
