Vimeo: Video has no sound, runs too fast or hangs Youtube: Video has no sound, runs too fast or hangs Amazon: MP3 Previews not working anymore (no sound but time display correct) System sound is working fine in all other places. Behavior is the same when using a new user account. When all these services where flash based, no issues where observed. A long search around found no reason so far. Suspect might be a video codec/decoder issue?
