Windows 8.1 HTML video player problems
How do you switch to flash player on browser? Both IE and FF on my new Dell XPS 8700 with Windows 8.1 struggle with all video play back from YouTube, Vimeo. But, watching Hulu, Netflix works great. As near as I can tell it's the browsers default to HTML.
If I watch the same YouTube video on another system with Flashplayer, the video is fine. But on my desktop, audio and video are out of sync and the video stops every 20 seconds.

hmmm, the problem I am having appears to be with YouTube and HTML5. In IE 11, the video is slow but the audio is normal volume. In FF, the opposite - video is normal but the audio volume is very low and does not adjust.
Video's in FB and on websites such as BravoTV, CBS all play normally (speed and volume). This appears to be YouTube related and the same is true with webpages that embed YouTube?
Ideas??

GL369,
You can download the stand alone flash player from Adobe and the videos should play fine. There is Adobe Flash for IE; Chrome and Firefox. The link is listed below.
