Hard question: FF and USB headphones

Hello,

my usb headphones are working fine, but with FF I become a lot of problems. the experts, after analyzing/debugging crash report and bluescreen (!!!) dump files tolde me: the audio driver cm106.sys is causing bluescreen.

out of curiosity the driver becomes "corrupted" only in FF (flash, silverlight, ....)! but it works fine with all other applications (VLC, powerdvd, flash in IE, mpc-hc with 4K videos too!).

so, even if in the past 5 years my headphones worked well with FF too, due to recently FF updates and "amelioraments" this year I become bluescreen (at FF shutdown).

The issue happens even if I connect the headphones *without* HUB usb!

I want to purchase new USB headphones set with obviously newer drivers (max. 250$), but the big question is: how to know in advance if the new product will work fine in FF? what the audio driver (emulated DD 5.1 at the moment I have "C-Media like sound device" from Cmedia Taipei Taiwan) that FF may like? no idea what driver comes boundled with Logitech or Sennheiser or Pioneer.... even my driver is ok for all the programms, except for FF (since february 2014).

thanks for suggestions.

Was troubleshooting the driver as well as these steps making any difference? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-to-do-if-firefox-wont-play-any-...

Also did you restart my browser after switching the default OS audio input/output.

Hi, thanks for your reply.

1) No problem with sound, I hear sounds in FF 2) I have Realtek as in the foto on the webpage that you linked, but I see only http://postimg.org/image/p7mzser71/ nothing else. 3) since 2 years (until ff33) I use headset only, without switching. I have to say that when I open FF the led on the headphones starts blinking, its due to flash on youtube, even *without* videos!! my subcriptions page in YU requires flash for, I guess, video thumbnails? therefore the led is always blinking, from FF startup until FF shutdown.

I can say that a strange behaviour started in febrauary: either OS audio or Firefox (flash, or silverlight, or...) audio. then ok, I didnt notice this strange behaviour, but I become crash and less often bluescreen at FF shutdown: cm106.sys is involved but this driver works fine with IE, VLC.....

4) perhaps in december I will purchase these http://it.creative.com/p/gaming-headsets/sound-blaster-tactic3d-rage-usb-v2

and I hope that the new driver will work fine in FF too. I warmly hope, because my "old" headsets works fine, except with FF.
