The problem with flash player and soundcard , any one have answers

I experience the same problem nearly each day , i am listening to music on windows media player then i go on youtube or facebook , i watch a clip on youtube then i go back to music player to find that its not working , I think flash uses the sound card exclusively even though i disabled this option in the sound card settings , so i end up restarting computer to gain control of the sound card , i waited too long for flash to releases fix but there is no hope ,
any ideas?

 

I am assuming you are running Windows 95 and use an ancient soundcard as well as Flash player 1.0 (that won't work with Youtube anyway...)?

(Joking - but do you get the idea?)

What OS, what Flash player, what Soundcard?

On a generic idea:
I once had an odd behavin X-Fi Go - turns out the driver was somehow defective.
Unistal the soundcard driver, restart computer and see if Windows finds you a driver, or download one manually.

Next - what browser? IE8 seems to have some Flash problems with the latest Flash - but I had no audio problems.

Download the Flash unistaller, unistall Flash - you may restart, but no need to, and instal the newest version again.

See what happens and report back.

 

ok , i am on windows vista
Hp laptop
this happens when using google chrome or internet explorer, i reinstalled windows from the scratch several times so its not a problem with the installation, this is nearly the specs of my laptop http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...2793&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN


edit: i think windows never find any driver except the USB mouse lol

 

i am using final version of flash

 

In IE8 the final version of Flash keeps my browser process from closing, but works fine in FF.

If you have FF installed - it may be interesting to try that out - but I don't know if its the best idea if you haven't.
(Why instal stuff that you won't use anyway?)

 

i am using google chrome as a browser , what do u mean by (Why instal stuff that you won't use anyway?)??

 

I know that Flash seems to work alright IN FF3.5.3 on my laptop while there is at least one problem with IE (not closing the process fr me).

So installing FF and Flash would allow you to test that - but if you won't us FF, which I assume you won't because you got used to Chrome, then there is no point in installing another browser on your system.

I hav FF just as a bacup, I use IE.

I wouldn't (at the moment) instal another browser to test something as more installed programmes = more that ca go wrong.

 

so i am stuck with this problem , i am experiencing this problem since i got my laptop but never tried to fix it , i did about 10 fresh installs till now and always i am stuck with this problem with chrome and IE

 

Something else I didn't consider up to now by the way:
The problem could be caused by the Soundcard's driver.

I assume its the internal card you use - with an HP driver.

See if you can get a newer manufacturer driver - and if you consider FF as a possible browser, try that as well - at least for me Flash works as it shoul in FF.

 

Thanks for ur help any way , ill try updating my driver again

 

Try getting the drive from the manufacturer directly.

And maybe restart after unistalling it.

Also try FF - to make sure - there must be a way.
