    Hey everyone,

    So i posted earlier about a possible problem with my right speaker crackling and making wierd noises like it has blown, i have found the culprit. ( I recieved my SR yesterday)

    I could not open youtube videos in full screen for some reason, so i upgraded to the newest version of flash. Which fixed the full screen issue, but for some reason you tube and the SR audio card don't get along with updated flash drivers.

    I tested the same videos that i owned on itunes and they ran fine, i tested other streaming video sites on the web and they worked fine. So only on youtube does my right speaker make wierd noises like it is malfunctioning.


    Leading me to believe that realtek or whoever makes the speakers on the SR (and apparently FW...as people are having issues with youtube) needs to update their drivers to support the newest version of flash better.

    I'm pumped its simply a minor driver issue and not a blown speaker! :D

    The speakers are decent in all other operations...music, movies, etc.

    Hey, good to hear that it's not a more widespread problem! Some of these may seem like common sense, but try this site's suggestions on fixing sound problems with flash.
