Youtube audio problems, one ear in Chrome. Not working well in Firefox...?
===

So, I had an issue about a couple weeks ago, I was watching away on some youtube videos and then the Flash Player plugin crashed (using firefox here + Flash player 11). By that time it was late anyways, so I took that as my prompt to shutdown my computer.

I used youtube the next day again in Firefox and I only had audio in my left ear (I use a headset) - At this point I googled around and found *similar* issues and it pointed the blame at Flash Player 11. Now I downgraded to Flash Player 10 and it worked fine for a couple of days but now I get adverts freezing up (when it's got two adverts lined up, the first one plays but it freezes at the end and I have to refresh the page). Sometimes the video box goes out of it's iframe window or whatever and I therefore can't control the video. Using fullscreen will sometimes give audio only.

Now that's weird admittedly, but here's where it gets weirder:
1) Using Google chrome instead of Firefox yields audio only in my right ear.
2) Using Internet Explorer instead of Firefox just gives an error message saying the video cannot be played right now.

Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Firefox 14.0.1
Google Chrome 20.0.1132.57 m
Internet Explorer 9 (I don't use IE much, personally prefer Firefox)

The two things that point it at being an issue with Youtube:
1) It only occurs on Youtube.
2) I don't have any way of controlling the audio settings for Youtube, I spent ages looking before downgrading to Flash Player 10.

I believe it may be a compatibility issue with the Youtube video player itself, in which case I guess I just have to wait.
