problem with flash since ota.

[iknownothing]

This is my first android phone and until now I haven't felt the need to root. I'll sit down over the weekend and figure it out. Thanks.

and visited Colbert site.

Stock rom here too. Running The Daily Show! Who knew???? Thanks to the OP.

I too am having the audio problem. I had the newest flash and running stock. It happened after the update this morning.

I'm having the same issue with cnet but with older rom 3.26.651.6 Baked Snack 1.7. It had flash version 10.1.92.8. Updated to 10.1.92.10 then rebooted but still no change. So it isn't because of the OTA. Gonna try the flash from the market.

Updated to latest flash 10.1.95.1 and still voice lag in cnet. FYI I'm using Dolphin HD to view. The same video on youtube.com plays fine.

Same here. Its like the video plays normal speed, but the sound is screwed and chopped.

I might try flashing that hulufix.zip (from the link above) a bit later to see if that simple step works. Do a nandroid backup first, of course.

Edit: I just flashed that zip file (hulufix.zip), and it fixes the problem perfectly. I think it will require root to do it, though. I downloaded the zip to my phone and flashed it within RomManager.

Forgive my newbieness, but what Rom are you running? I'm wondering if this is as simple as rooting the phone, installing "rom manager" and using that. Were there any more steps?

I'm running Stock ROM, rooted with unrevoked. Just install RomManager after, and flash the zip from your SD. Make sure not to check either of the boxes for wiping your data. The fix works perfectly.

 

[Cubfan]

Oh, one more step... do a nandroid backup first before you flash the zip.

I just verified with a friend's EVO that flash works before applying the recent update. It did, we checked cbs, etc. We applied the update and now those sites have the audio issue.

Has anyone found a solution yet, or know how to make Adobe aware of this?

I sent a message to HTC....they got back to me with general instructions to clear my Adobe Flash data and restart, which made no difference.

The only "fix" I've found is that I redownloaded Skyfire - I can still watch TDS and Colbert on that browser.

Did you not read my solution. Works great, but you have to be rooted. I love the smoothness of The Daily Show after the update... used to be really herky-jerky.

 

[ReproOne]

I am hoping to find a solution that does not require root.

I received another response from HTC, which was:

Thank you for your reply. To my understanding when you go to thedailyshow.com or colbertnation.com the sound seems to be off. It seems this would be a problem with the sites and not the phone, since the flash player works fine with other sites such as cnn.com. I have tested those websites with another Android phone and I got the same results. You may want to download a different browser from the Android Market. Due to the complex nature of this matter I believe we could provide the information you need faster and more efficiently via telephone. You may also call our Technical Support department at 866.449.8358. Of course if you?d rather continue via email I am more than happy to provide whatever assistance I can.

What HTC should understand is that those sites work fine before this MR. I had an EVO this morning and ensured it worked fine on all sites I tested (like CBS). I then applied the update, tried the sites again and the audio does not work correctly.

I did respond and told them that I contacted them rather than Adobe for exactly that reason.

I was having the same issue as everyone else, I just redownloaded Flash Player 10.1 off of the Marketplace last night and all seems to be working fine this morning. Watched some videos off CNN and MSNBC and I had video and audio and they were synced pretty well. Hope this helps

Yeah, but then again we can't necessarily put the blame on one company (HTC, Adobe, Google, etc). If a software/hardware company makes a change, they can't necessarily test every variable for negative impacts. And for all we know at this point is there's only a mere few websites that are having this audio issue. We can't really blame HTC if they don't check to make sure Comedy Central videos play fine with every update, right?

 

[ReproOne]

Did uninstalling Adobe Player and redownloading from the market fix the sites in question? LIke cbs?

CNN is working for me, but most other sites are not. CBS is a good one to check.

 

[Bigfame]

Yeah, CBS is acting really weird. The video plays just fine, but the audio is all off. SOunds like it has been slowed down. Says video is not optimized for Mobile Devices
