Shockwave flash constant crashing
Since updating from firefox 26, I have experienced constant shockwave flash hangs in both Firefox and Chrome. I have done numerous rollbacks, uninstalls, clean reinstalls, and driver updates. Anything that fixes the issue only fixes it for a few hours then it goes back to crashing.
My system is a Lenovo w520 with intel Core i7 2760 running Windows 7 Pro x64 SP1. The graphics setup uses NVIDIA optimus to split between the Intel HD graphics and the NVIDIA Quadro 1000M. Both have the most recent drivers, updating them did not fix the issue.
I have tried disabling hardware acceleration, but no dice. It is extremely difficult to get to flash player settings because browser hangs as soon as anything with flash tries to load. Clicking stop plugin does not fix the hang, so I generally have to kill the browser from the task manager. It has become totally unusable.
Virus infection was the first obvious thought, but multiple full scans by MS Security Essentials and Malwarebytes with windows in safe mode and in full mode find no viruses. I have disabled all addons and extensions besides flash, and the problem persists. I finally just uninstalled flash and tried to run everything in HTML5, but now videos only play sporadically. After a Windows restart, a video or two will play, then once firefox is closed, they no longer play.
I forgot to add that flash also hung in Spotify (the program, not the web interface) when it tried to show an ad.
I have also tried running flash in protected mode and out of protected mode, no change in the constant hangs.
Here are some of the crash reports from my system:

Unfortunately, there are many sites where it's Flash or nothing and you don't have an HTML5 option (or the option to use other plugins).
The two most recent reports seem to be associated with trying to connect to an audio server. The next four are more generic and do not point to any specific issue. I can't tell what the problem is, but some users with audio-related issues reported they were bypassed by plugging in headphones. ??
Have you tried the older "Extended Support Release" of Flash 13? It's available from this page: https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html (scroll a bit more than half way down)
I will hold off for a day to see if it keeps working before marking your post as a solution, but right about the time you replied, I had just opened Reaper recording software and realized that something was seriously messed up with my sound drivers, as Reaper hung too, totally independent of flash. I didn't put the two together until you said it was an audio server connection and I realized I had installed a global equalizer a few days before this problem started, so I got rid of that. I reinstalled flash after fixing the sound driver issue, and all is well at the moment, but I've had many false positives. I'll report back in tomorrow and let you know if it worked.
