my PC produces poor quality audio when playing youtube videos. The
sound is 'bubbly'. The PC is based on an oldish biostar motherboard
with 1.4G AMD Duron and 500Mb ram with Win XP Pro. I know it's old but
it does everything else quite well, and plays mp3 and wav files fine.
I know the problem is with my PC because I have another PC in the same
room (a 3G P4) on the same broadband connection and it plays youtube
audio smooth and clear. Is there any patch or fix that could correct
this problem? My AMD PC has midiman Delta 44 audio and I have the very
latest drivers installed. Thanks for any help.

Update your Flash player?

People don't view Youtube videos for the sound quality.
It sounds like that for everyone on all computers.
I've browsed Youtube on dozens of computers and
they all sound "bubbly". It is a result of the very heavy
compression.

They don't view YouTube videos for the picture quality either. As bad as the
sound quality is, the picture quality is worse.

The sound and video on Youtube is generally poor to begin with due to the
high compression and use of low bandwidth. But, if you are having lack of
smoothness, and if the sound is unacceptable on one computer and not the
other, both computers are using the same software, then the only thing left
is hardware.

yeah thanks I tried that, no difference. I got a feeling it's the
adobe flash software doesn't like older via chipsets.

thanks for your response but it doesn't sound like that for everyone
on all computers. My other PC plays better clearer youtube audio.

I've never before heard anyone use any form of the word "clear"
in the same sentence with "youtube audio". (Or "youtube video"
either, for that matter :-) Congratulations on your success.

I'd certainly attempt removal of all the Flash player software
and re-installation of the current stuff from scratch.

You can't squeeze blood from a rock. Most if not all YouTube videos encode
the audio in a format that is a ton less than "hi fi".

Agreed.

I think he means "less worse". ';-)

Agreed.

There are probably other differences between the two PCs, like maybe
different speakers.
