Question

Audio &Video hesitation.

Jul 6, 2012 7:11AM PDT

Audio and video very slightly hesitate when playing from the internet or this machine. It's like play hesitate play. Very irritating. Buffering is not a part of the problem. I am running Win 7. Thanks

Folk that are used to better often complain about video from the net. Given only this issue I can't write there is anything wrong.

Robert,
Perhaps your answer is correct...if a person is running Windows. I have tried all sorts of fixes with no improvement.
I just ran the same Google News video in Ubuntu and the problem is completely gone. With that in mind, I will ask the same question again. Why do I get audio and video hesitation when I run videos in Windows and how do I fix it? I have tried everything in Adobe and Windows that I can think of.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Let's look at the details provided.

And given this amount of detail I'm guessing this machine has issues or doesn't have the chops to deal with this.

For example I see this work on Linux but not Windows on our office Netbook. Not going to fix windows today!

Just the one issue in Windows. The only problem is switching back and forth.

I removed Flash Player again this time using the Adobe tool. I reinstalled FP again and noticed in Control Panel It did not not show Active X as Being installed above FP, I tried to play something and the player asked me if I wanted to install FP. I said yes and it installed FP again and Active X was also added. Things seem to run fine now. Months and months of screwing around. There must be an easier way.
