Hardware acceleration breaks video on a page

I use Opera on my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A300 with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470)
I've been using Win 10 LTSB without any problems for about a year and after that I started noticing that videos in HTML pages stopped working correctly - instead of playing video I only hear a sound and see a black rectangle or a rectangle with artifacts. The problem is the same in other chromiuim browser Vivaldi
But if I turn off "Hardware acceleration" in Browser's settings video starts playing okFirefox and IE shows video without problems
Can I manage somehow what is the problem? Is there a way to fix it without disabling hardware specification?
PS youtube seems to be ok always... but some other pages (not flash) are not

they may use an unsupported video/audio format try installing a codec pack like KLite and see if that makes a difference

@athlonite k-kite codecs pack makes no difference. either it's installed or removed

@ultramax well then I have no idea what your problem is as both the linked video and (god forbid) pornhub videos work like they should for me also that GPU is fairly old so I wouldn't be expecting to much support from Opera for it as even AMD have relegated it to SOL when it comes to driver support

@athlonite This is why I'm here at specialized Opera forums and posted my opera://gpu/ details
Maybe my videocard is dying... or smth. Just wonder if someone can help understand this. Maybe this is smth related to Win10 LTSB and I need to roll back to Win7 -

@ultramax I would say it's a driver issue as I said you have an old GPU AMD don't support it anymore and as you say turning off hardware acceleration allows the videos to play but with it on it fails there is the problem it's not a windows problem but an old hardware problem also I think FF and IE don't have hardware acceleration turned on by default like Opera or Chrome or most any Chromium based browser does that's why they just work OTB

@athlonite Several months ago all was working correctly. The same sites, the same system
I wonder what type of the embedded video is it as I tried Live Unintu 18.04 - neither firefox nor opera can play it. I just see spinning circle and that's allUPD just tried to enable hardware acceleration in FireFox - also shows OK without any issues

So - just FYI (as they say)
I spent couple of days trying different versions of windows to see what will be happening with the latest version of Opera and this is what I found
Win 7 (either 32 or 64 bit) - no problems with Hardware Acceleration
Win 10 (either 32 or 64 bit) - Hardware Acceleration does not work in OperaSo this is probably something related to Win 10 driver (for all cases I was using automatically installed drivers from Windows Update). This makes me guess: What are my next steps: roll back to Win 7 or try to find a driver for Win 10 to make it work correctly. Maybe install Win 7 driver..
Am I correct?
PS But anyway - FireFox with Hardware acceleration works well (and IE with Hardware acceleration also works well). Maybe smth wrong with chromium engine? Does it make sense to ask someone from opera tech support?

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=820643#c41 suggests (the specific problem in that bug) to leave hardware acceleration on and just modify Opera's shortcut to pass
--disable-direct-composition
to launcher.exe.Not sure if that'll work around this case, but it's worth a try for now. Also not sure how much of a performance hit that is, but maybe it's less than disabling hardware acceleration completely.

@burnout426 this is my comment, #41
I already modified my shortcut that starts the browser. Yes, it helps... but... I'd like to see it's good without any modification, like it works in Win 7 -

Never use drivers for GPU, Audio or Network card from Microsoft they somehow manage to screw them up go here>>>
link textdownload and install this driver and see if it make any difference

And I have just downloaded drivers for Win 8 x64 - installed from AMD
The same version like it used to be when it was installed by Windows update, the same issue like it used to be -

@ultramax I think your expecting a little to much from an Legacy EOL gpu mate I posted the latest available drivers for your GPU if they don't work under Windows 10 like you want then it's probably time to upgrade your laptop to something a little more recent with a supported GPU

@athlonite the same drivers for Win 10 and Win 7 behave differently. And again, I was discussing the issue below (see link) so chromium support confirmed that this is chromium issue

ATI Radeon HD 4200 had that problem since around chromium v64. Just tried the --disable-direct-composition switch per your suggestion and it works! The cpu was pegged at 100% at full screen, when using no hardware acceleration. With it turned on and the command line switch, the cpu dropped to 50% or less at full screen. Worked on both opera 57 and vivaldi-snapshot. Seems good so far. Thanks!
Win10On same box using debian, I never had any problems with same browsers. On Win10, I think the problem affects the entire ati HD 4000 series.
