DC: Chrome's built-in version of Flash player sucks, though. Starkkz: i dont think this will help much.@
The Grim Reaper: if you're using firefox go to addons and delete flashplayer, then remove all the cookies. Then close your browser and kill the process with taskmanager (usually the process will be called firefox.exe). Start your browser again and install flash player like you would usually do. If this doesnt solve your problem download CCleaner and let it clean your registries, but make sure that you have uninstalled flashplayer. After this it should definitely work.(It will almost work the same way for other browsers on windows)
medeiros: Well, it really can't suck more than the original Flash player because in fact it IS exactly that original Flash player. The only difference is that Chrome updates it automatically for you. DC: Chrome has its own PPAPI version of Flash Player. It's usually advisable to disable it in favour of Adobe's NPAPI medeiros: Now you've caught my attention... 
why is this advisable? There should be no reason to care about the API at all as normal end user. Chrome might use another plugin API but there's still the same Flash player behind that API.btw: Only the Linux version of Chrome doesn't use the NPAPI anymore. Others still do but will switch in September 2015 if Wikipedia is right...
DC: perhaps I'm exaggerating a bit as the difference isn't as big as I'm making it seem to, but from what I've seen the Chrome version of Flash is a bit buggy when it comes to audio.I stream music live at Mixify and when I used Chrome I always had a warning about its Flash player which said

"Your Flash Player version contains a buggy audio update from Chrome. Go to chrome://plugins and disable the PPAPI 11.7.700 version of Flash Player, and enable the NPAPI 11.5.502 or higher immediately. Then refresh and enjoy."
Then, I always had PPAPI disabled in chrome://plugins and never got that warning again and streamed my livesets with ease. Nowadays I use Opera and Firefox so I'm not aware if Chrome fixed its Flash for audio streaming.
So yeah, this small bad thing about Chrome's Flash made me dislike it, and it made me infer that it probably has other issues compared to Adobe's own too.
