I mentioned previously that I lost audio from various online videos on my mac. While this was frustrating I’ve never had the chance to spend much time on it, and re-installing anything didn’t make any difference. I finally found the solution and so will post it here…
Open /Applications/Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup
in the bottom right corner change the settings to around 44Khz and Flash video will return straight away.
I would like to explain all the reasons why this has to happen, but I can’t be bothered looking into it I’m fed up enough that this issue is so hard to troubleshoot. I am now going to pepper the rest of this post with lots of keywords just in case others have the same problem and this solution may be found easier…
