You Tube switching Interface sample rate

[Dynamic Mike]

Just wondering if anyone can help me prevent this. Since migrating to Windows 10 You Tube videos have started playing in HTML5 instead of Flash. I've worked around the player sizing issue (huge player with grainy screen for anything uploaded less than 720HD) by setting the zoom level to 110% which REDUCES the screen to a watchable size. Seriously! W10 says I have flash installed & enabled in IE11 but YT refuses to playback in anything but HTML5 player.

However, over the last few days playing a YT video now resets my interface (Zoom R8) from 44.1 KHz to 96 KHz for playback. This means I now have no sound in Cubase unless I terminate the connection & reset the Zoom!

Is there any way of either forcing YT to playback at 44.1 or getting Cubase to re-set the sample rate. W10 (via Zoom settings) reports playback as being 44.1 KHz (as though it doesn't see the switch) but on the screen on the Zoom it stubbornly remains at 96 KHz. Surely if HTML5 player can switch the audio sample rate there should be an equivalent switch in Cubase?

Glad you sorted your problem out.

Be aware that Flash is on the way out. Google, Apple, Microsoft and even Adobe are making every effort to kill it.

Do you think they will succeed where Ming The Merciless failed?

I always thought Steve Jobs had a passing resemblance to Ming and he certainly started the kill Flash movement!

Hi Dave,

Right click the speaker icon on the taskbar, choose Playback devices/Interface/Properties/Advanced/then untick both 'exclusive mode' boxes. I've also done the same for recording devices just in case. YT still plays fine but doesn't force the switch in the sample rate. It appears for once W10 was part of the solution rather than part of the problem! That's a first!

Hope this helps, Mike
