Youtube has had bad audio quality since last Friday

[Funley]

Since Friday, Youtube has had bad audio quality in such way that all low sounds or otherwise powerful sounds are just crackingly ear raping. It cannot be my speakers, since i tested with Skrillex's Scary Monster's and Nice Sprites song that i have on my computer that the audio quality is fine when playing the song with iTunes. But when playing out of Youtube, the audio quality is horrible. Does anyone else have this problem?

I had this a few days ago, I couldn't find anyone on the internet having a similar issue, so I just tried clearing Flash player cache and restarted my laptop and it was fine since then.

Me and my friend also have the same issue.

I seem to have fixed it by clearing Flash player's cache as iCole did :D

Turn on HTML5. It works near the same as Flash does now, and it doesn't have unreliable audio!

HTML5? Hell NO. The player is extremely broken almost every time I see it on YT.
If I go to fullscreen while in the middle of watching a video that I preloaded in HD so I wouldn't have to wait for youtube servers to catch up, it not only defaults to 360p but also FORGETS where in the video I was.
Sometimes it stops responding to play/pause buttons completely, too.

When I read how "HTML5 is the future and Flash is dying" somewhere on the internet, I can't help but laugh. HTML5 might be the future, but currently still feels like a first alpha build*.

Well it took a long time for the Youtube flash player to stop being ridiculously buggy. So I guess the HTML5 one is going to take awhile too.

I just hope they fix it up as fast as possible, because otherwise there should be a "Flash only" switch.
HTML5 player doesn't even allow me to pause videos with the spacebar :/

I'm not sure about you guys then, but I've had nothing but success with it.

Maybe your computer was sick of hearing the song "Friday."

On the topic of youtube, how do I force the fucker to stop defaulting to the smaller player? It's pissing me off.
