how to stop YouTube audio from popping and crackling
running latest version of Firefox on desktop PC OS Win 7 Home Premium 64bit (recently migrated from Win XP Pro SP3 32 bit
Audio on YouTube videos pops and crackles; does it all the time when video is full screen... does it with small screen when mouse pointer is moving
Tried running Firefox in safe mode... no joy.. still popping.
Would appreciate a solution.
By the way this problem does not happen with Chrome... but Chrome is getting so bloated with features I prefer to use Firefox.
Thanks

You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
- check for updates for your graphics drive drivers
https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration - disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
- disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
