G50vt-x5, 9800m gs video streaming issue

When I stream video from the internet or another computer, fullscreen only, every few minutes the sound will get very crackly and it will start to lag. It's unbearable, and pausing the video will fix it temporarily, and going windowed mode will fix it indefinitely.

I remember reading something about the video card causing this issue, does anyone know more on the subject? I don't believe it's the internet because windowed mode works fine, and the glitches occur for things that have already been fully "buffered"

thanks!

 

bump bump, anyone?

 

bump, still looking for some help.

 

have you updated your video drivers?

 

I'm using 186.81

 

turn of hardware acceleration that might help. Right click on the video you are watching, option should be there.

 

What about for streaming video from firefox? I don't see hardware acceleration anywhere.

 

Having the same problem as the OP, with a G50VT-X6 here.
After about 45 seconds of watching hulu fullscreen it begins to lag terribly and won't stop until exiting fullscreen mode.

I'm using the latest drivers from nvidia's website, too.

 

Also have had the same problem for a while. I also have been unable to watch hulu, youtubes, and other streaming videos in fullscreen. I need to watch the video in windowed mode in order to prevent lag and stuttering (I lower the resolution when doing so in order for the window to be as big as possible). I also have the latest drivers.

 

I'm using 186.81, but yeah, that's basically the problem.

Why can't nvidia get anything right? sigh, anyone know a fix?

 

no ideas? seems like a very common problem, sure someone's found a solution.

 

Have you tried just letting it buffer longer?

 

Yeah, I let it load the entire video sometimes. Still no good

 

aye that doesn't work. let it buffer all the way, it's not a network latency issue.

 

right click on the video or the screen and select "settings" then in the display tab uncheck "Enable Hardware acceleration", BTW r u using another monitor that's not ur NB's?

 

No, I'm using the monitor that came with my notebook. Why would that matter?

Thanks for your help and support everyone, still isn't working quite right for me though =(

 

my temporary solution that seems to sometimes work is to lower the resolution to something like 1024x768 and then fullscreen it. seems to work better for some reason.

oh and hardware acceleration is selected, but that doesn't solve the problem.

 

Roll back your drivers? Bad suggestion...
Another bad suggestion; run youtube on HTML5- beta.

Okay, scrap both of those idea. If you're running Chrome why not post how much of your CPU is being used for the flash plug-in you're running.

 

@najim the hardware acceleration its supposed to be off to fix it,

@llmercll i was asking about the monitor, becuz i had that problem with my monitor on my desktop with a cheap 8400GS that's why i ask
