Youtube audio/video desyncing when watching videos with Chrome

I now remembered why I stopped using Chrome on my PC some time ago.

 

When I watch videos, for 1-2 minutes it's fine, but then the audio and video desync more and more from eachother. I read about this issue and the fix was to disable one of the shockwave plugins. I did it but it still desyncs.

 

I have this problem only on this Win 8.1 PC, but not on my laptop (also running Win 8.1 , both 64bit )

If I pause the video for 1-2min, it syncs up again and then it f***s up again

damn that sucks , usually it has something to do with flash player in browser or stream splitter you enabled while installing the media codec (probably uncompatable with windows 8 maybe), my advice would be that uninstall codecs & flash/shockwave & including the browser, clean the registry using CC or whaterver you have , then install everything again with  latest drivers & codecs & disable in stream splitter in html during codec instalation & see if that helps..

 

or try mozzilla with gpu acceleration pluging

Hmm.. then it sounds like some issue with chrome, maybe it's using a beta version of flash player with bugs, try the latest canary version or revert to an older version of chrome... Hope this helps :)

in chrome go to your chrome://plugins and disable all flash players but one and test it.

could you check if the issue is there on older versions of chrome or just the new version you're installing?

probably chrome installs a beta version of flas while firefox has the usual download & both are having conflicts , i guess you gonna have to use one for browsing vides & the other one for regular stuffs (pain in the ass indeed) , you can report the issue to the browser developers directly,

 

it's a secure link (direct)
