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?


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


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".
