Did a fresh install of 11.3, running default Firefox 3.6.6 with the Adobe Flash plugin, standard Kernel Mode Setting (KMS) video and am getting audio and video play back too fast in sites such as YouTube.
Tried setting Edit, Preferences, Applications, Flash to “Use Flash Player (default)”, does nothing.
Tried using the NVIDIA driver, tried updating Firefox to 3.6.8, no avail - same thing play back audio and video too fast.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I have same problem,I did a fresh install few weeks back and everything was perfect, yesterday I tried zypper dup as root, after that flash videos are too fast in all browser ( I have opera and Firefox).
I am sure something wrong…
please find some extarct from hwinfo -all

When you say it plays back too fast, is it a steady, fast speed or does it
jump? I get the latter problem every day and have to go to the system
monitor, kill npviewer.bin and then hit the Firefox reload button. However,
this problem has been around for several versions of openSUSE and other
Linux distributions and doesn’t quite sound like what you’re describing.
Best I can do I’m afraid.

I have the same problem now, any flash video in any browser plays too fast, like its x2 speed with no sound, what is this weirdness? How can I fix it?
If you (OP) were fully updated on 11.3, you would be on firefox version 3.6.10, shouldn’t you be at least for security reasons?
ok, can it be due to new kernel issue?, I downloaded a new kernel, if so then its ok.
My suse 11.3 is uptodate.
Please post the result of this command run as normal user: uname -r
I’m using a laptop with “2.6.36-rc7-31-desktop” kernel onboard, it seems to have support finally for my sensors, stable opensuse 11.3 kernel is too outdated for this model(whaaat?)
To be clear, do you still have the problem described in this thread? What graphic driver?
Following the install, have you updated your system with security and recommended fixes from the official 11.3 Update repo?
just cant understand how security updates can be the reason?
When I first installed SUSE 11.3 on clean laptop with all uptodate software, my flash video was ok, there was sound and the speed was normal, but then, I guess when I switched to new kernel, it fixed the lack of hardware support but screwed my flash video streaming speed. I can watch movies and downloaded flash video files, but I cant watch it online anymore, no sound and as if somebody forwarding the video at x2 speed in any browser. My videocard is ATI3200, but well, what is wrong with it? is it because new kernel has new video drivers, that somehow affect flash in browsers? Did anybody bump into such a problem?
That question was clearly targeted at the OP, not you. If the OP applied all updates since installing, Firefox should be at 3.6.10 not 3.6.8 as posted. That may indicate not all updates have been applied, and some relevant software component may be old and buggy. I guess the OP is not running on your new kernel, so I wouldn’t treat them as the same problem/cause at this stage.
Thanks for the additional info. It looks like you are running a different driver and graphics hardware (OP mentioned nvidia).
So far all we know is that one nvidia and two ATI graphics cards (discrete?) have a similar symptom, but you were ok until you installed a new kernel (and new graphics driver?). What I can add at this stage is that integrated Intel graphics does not have this particular problem with Flash, on both kernels (mine new is 2.6.36-RC8).
Someone else, familiar with nvidia/ati installation issues may be able to identify a common problem here. 
Ok, I see, thanks, I will then wait for official release, as I’m pretty sure new kernel is the reason. (Drivers? yep, I meant kernel , sorry, past windows user)
Just updated the kernel to stable linux-wkdm 2.6.36-90-desktop, nothing changed, I’m still not able to watch normally any flash video in any browser do to its fast speed and no sound. what is that? a bug? I have to reboot to windows every time I need flash video. Any clues?
It seems to me that noone can help about it, how can that be?
I reistalled flash-player, but still my video is screwed, so I can watch it only with x2 speed((((
@letian, when you updated the kernel to 2.6.36-90-desktop, how many and which packages did you update?
I don’t really remember, but I just downloaded suse kernel rpm and installed it, if this can be a reason , then I see no point in continuing this thread( sad though
When I updated mine, I replaced at least kernel-desktop, kernel-desktop-devel, kernel-devel. IIRC on 11.3, these are installed by default, but you can check in YaST>Software Management. I also did kernel-source, but that may not be necessary.
Even that wasn’t enough to deal with the Flash full-screen problem with “intel” driver, please see this latest thread and post of mine. The solutions covered there involved updating kernel-firmware, and/or xorg-x11 packages including drivers, from OBS repos.
I don’t have ATI, but even if I did, there would be no guarantee that the driver would function properly with a new kernel.
BTW you can find out what packages you installed by viewing /var/log/zypp/history. 
oh, I see, thank you a lot, I will check it
omg, I’m gettting ssooo angry with that! just rolled back to 2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop, and what do you think? Now my flash player plays everything at slow laggish speed, the playback is lagging as if my 3mbit connection is 56kb. Its so stupid that becomes even funny. I reinstalled a lot of stuff connected with flash player, some dependenses but no effect, same **it. You know, at moments like this I wanna grap one innocent developer and do something bad to him, because only he May know the reason for this mockery
