Stuttering audio playback in YouTube?

I don't always get stuttering audio when playing YouTube videos, just most of the time. I can download the same YouTube video play it in iTunes with no stuttering audio. Smooth audio playback.


I receive internet through Comcast cable. It is fast. Why are most YouTube videos stuttering their audio playback, yet downloaded play normally?

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9), 10,1-3.06 GHz Intl Core 2-12GB RAM

From the menu bar, select

 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player Advanced

and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

From the Safari menu bar, select

Safari Preferences... Privacy Remove All Website Data


and confirm. Test.

If there's no improvement, reboot and test again.
