Something is happening to my internet broadband connection. When I stream audio or video I am getting a kind of crackly, slowed down sound of poor quality. It is strange but the sound actually slows down.

Any ideas ?

    I get the crackling on YouTube and iPlayer on XP desktop and laptop, but not on the Vista desktop, nor iPad.

    Obviously machine-related, but I haven't debugged the reason
  • I had this yesterday. I put it on pause for a short while, then streamed again and it was OK.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    Crappy sound card? Playing out through USB and there is other stuff going on choking up the bus?

    I had similar problems a few months ago, downgraded to10.3 flashplayer. Noticed it is still a problem if using latest chrome pepperflash version 11 something.
