Update your Adobe flash player software to the latest version:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

If that doesn't fix it you might have some viruses and malware.

Start your PC and press F8 several times until the boot menu comes up. Then select "Safe Mode with Networking". Now get some or ALL of the FREE programs below.

Download, Install and Run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware:
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=5756
When Installing choose the non-pro version.

Download, Unzip, Install and Run TDSSKiller:
http://majorgeeks.com/Kaspersky_TDSSKiller_d6895.html

Download, Install and Run Super Anti-Spyware:
http://majorgeeks.com/SUPERAntiSpyware_d5116.html

If you have an outdated Anti-virus program then Download, Install and Run Avira Anti-Virus:
http://majorgeeks.com/Avira_AntiVir_Personal_-_FREE_Antivirus_d955.html
Make sure to select ALL of the "threat categories" when you install or configure Avira...

You should be in pretty good shape if you run and install all of these programs.

SOURCE: viewing videos at you tube and other sites

When a video downloads to your computer it is done in small bits according to your connection speed -- this is called buffering. If you notice, a bar at the bottom of the video window moves bit by bit between each of the little "play" episodes --you can tell how far it has gone by how far the bar moves to the right. When it pauses in-between it is downloading the next portion. Depending on your connection speed and the length of the video it can take lots of stops and starts to DL the whole video. When it finishes the bar has reached the end, or if it is done the screen will say "Replay". Sometimes there is a little window that tells you how long the video is and also how many minutes you have so far DLed.

SOURCE: I am trying to watch

In the beginning try replacing or updating your driver software for your audio device. If this does not work out try replacing your speakers. If this does not work out either than you have replace the sound card.
If all other Videos sound is not distorted than may be the video that you are trying to watch from YouTube and bbc player are probably from the same source

Good Luck!

When watching You Tube it stops and starts again and again

Hi,

This problem, i.e, the videos keep stopping and starting is usually due to a slow internet connection.

To resolve this issue, kindly let the video download completely before playing the video.

To do this, click the "Pause" button (shown by red arrow in the attached image) on the video bar and let the pink colored bar (shown by green arrow) fill up entirely.

When the pink bar fills up completely, click the "Play" button. (See below image)

When I play videos on You Tube they keep stopping and starting

It takes time to stream the data that is why it stops in between. Your bandwidth seems to be low. Try upgrading to 2 MBPS from your service provider and it will then play like without stopping.
