My computer's sound cuts off after playing a few flash videos. It cuts off after playing only one HTML5 video. Can anyone help me about this?
For the past few weeks, my audio would cut off for my computer completely after watching a few flash videos. The only temporary solution to that is going to my Task Manager and ending the Flash process. That brings back my audio until it ends up cutting off again after a while. Even only having some non-video Flash process open can cause the audio to drop out. Also, the same thing happens after watching an HTML5 video, though the sound cuts off after only watching a video once and refreshing. When that happens, I have to restart the entire browser to get the audio back. I've noticed that the same thing happened for Ogg Vorbis video and audio on Wikipedia for the past few months.
I've tried Resetting and putting Firefox in Safe Mode in order to try and figure out if any plugin is causing these problems, but nope, still not working.
When checking other browsers, the same thing happens in IE10, but everything works fine in Google Chrome. No problems at all in Google Chrome.
Can somebody help me with this?

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
I bootted it up in safemode, however, safe mode would not allow my sound card to initialize, so I could not test it.
If it helps, my sound driver is the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC Driver Version 6.10.6269.0
I looked it up and safe mode generally doesn't turn on the sound card. There is a manual way to turn on the sound in safe mode, but I do not trust myself to mess around with the registry to figure this out. Is there any other way to figure this out?
