Not sure the problem, recently when watching Youtube video's the audio pops and cracks. The add's will play fine with No issues at all but once and uploaded video plays I get the pops, cracks and even echo's at times.
Chrome does this worse than IE but I do have issues with IE. Firefox does better but sometimes it does it also just not all the time. Safari doesn't do it at all, Safari plays the same video's without issue!
My audio plays fine on other sites but since Youtube has been upgrading, I have issues on other sites like Yahoo. I can watch video's from other sites with no issues at all but if they're from YT I get the cracks and pops.
DVD's play fine and everything I try plays fine, it just happens with any video from Youtube!
I've checked every thing, and replaced sound drivers or upgraded them, uninstalled Chrome and did a clean install, Active X and Flash Player have all been reinstalled or upgraded. No joy! I even uninstalled IE and did a clean install of that and still got issues. I also upgraded JAVA and still get the annoying pops and cracks!
My internet speed has not changed and I even upgraded that! This only happens with my pc, my laptop and tablets play fine so I suspect an issue with the PC but what the issue is I have no idea. Malware? Rootkit? Virus? I got no idea, as everything I check says the computer is clean. I can say, this all started when Youtube started some upgrades about 3 weeks ago. The add's play fine which seems odd because once an uploaded video starts to play the issues start! That just freaks me out because you would think the adds would crack and pop also!
Any suggestions on playback issues?
