Ubuntu :: Can't Adjust Volume In Videos In Firefox?
May 14, 2010
Since I installed Lucid, anytime I watch a video in Firefox I can't adjust the volume. I click on the little volume icon, and the volume meter pops up, but it won't let me change it.Also, I can't change to a different point in the video.And finally, it won't go full screen when I click on the fullscreen button.
It seems that when I adjust the volume with the volume wheel on the side of my notebook, the OS messes up. Nothing is clickable, I cannot type anything, in order to get a working computer again I have to hard reset it.Why is this happening? I have never experienced this. I have a Toshiba Satellite that I recently installed Ubuntu on.
I am not getting any sound with rythembox. My sound levels are mute with some of the bars in alsamixer. I do not know how to adjust the bars to unmute, or to raise the sound once unmuted.
Ever since upgrading to Karmic, I haven't been able to adjust master volume when my USB headphones are chosen as the output device. If I try to adjust my master volume (via the media keys on my keyboard or gnome-volume-control), the output volume doesn't change until it's entirely muted. I can adjust the master volume fine when I'm outputting through internal audio.I am able to adjust the volume fine on an application-specific basis, but this becomes quite a nuisance, especially when I switch between internal audio (where master volume is regulated) and USB audio (where master volume is always at full-blast). This worked fine in Jaunty, and stopped working once I updated to Karmic. My USB headphones are listed as "Storm HP-USB500 5.1 Headset".
I tried fixing m pulseaudio so it wouldnt mute the sound whenever i set it below 24%, but now i cant adjust the volume. Are there alternatives to pulseaudio? i have kmix installed, will this suffice?
I have recently installed ubuntu on a Dell Inspiron 8500. It works well but the startup volume on the ubuntu splash screen is extremely loud. How do I adjust this. System volume does not seem to help.
since installing nVidia graphic drivers I can't adjust volume using volume button nor using volume keys. The volume icon has 3 horizontal lines like Ubuntu couldn't find audio device. Morover when I try to run pulseaudio there is "/home/chris is not ours" message.
Despite these facts audio is playing and I can adjust volume using alsamixer, but it is extremely not comfortable to enter console each time I want to volume up/down..
In xfce ,My keyboard for adjust volume don't work.I found in xfce--config--keyboard, there are settings to set globe hotkey.I try to add XF86AudioLowerVolume ,XF86AudioRaiseVolume and XF86AudioMute in this area,,but don't know which command should be.
I've just switched to slackware from opensuse (and before ubuntu) for few days. Everything is ok , no, is awesome when I was doing my job on run level 3. However, I found there was no sound when I booted it to run level 4 (xfce) trying to play some music on yesterday. After googled a lot, I thought there must be some wrong with my alsa driver, because I couldn't adjust the PCM volume from either alsamixer or amixer. In fact, there is even no PCM section in it, but two sections named "IEC958" and "IEC958 D" instead with no "pvolume" capability. Here is some outputs:
I've had this problem since I fresh installed Fedora on my laptop: I can play sounds fine, but I can't mute/make it louder or softer. I couple days ago (right after I installed) there was a notification saying there was an error with something in the sound and it was "falling back to default". Recently, the notification stopped popping up but the problem persists.
I'm not 100% positive as to what type of speakers my laptop has. I know they're made by JBL, but on Windows they're handled by "RealTek HD Audio Manager" and in Device Manager there's 2 different audio devices: Realtek High Definition Audio and ATI HDMI Audio. Neither of them say they're JBL brand. The most information I can get out of the specs of my laptop found on Newegg is that they're "JBL stereo speakers (1.5 watt x 2)".
i'm using opensuse 11.3 64bits and upgraded kde from 4.4.4 to 4.6.0 now i'm having some problems with audio. it seems kde have problems with audio-devices. sometime i message about none workin devices and ask me to remove it. i manage to get sound from amarok, but not from web-browser lika videos. the computer is a dell latitude d830 with intel hda-devices. computer is docked in a dell d-dock. i can't adjust master volume using computer buttons or kde-volume, so i have to use volume on external speakers.
I have a bunch of videos that I would like to adjust the volume to be the same on all of them. I have searched and all i can find is how to normalize the volume with in the video. I have tried this and it works great on movies where the action is louder that the talking. My problem is on video is a lot louder than another so im constantly changing the volume when a new video starts.
I'd like to widen the width of the standard vertical scrollbar in firefox 3.6 or above. I know now that it is not an edit in about:config and appears that you have to edit in user.js, prefs.js, or in the Profile folder but I 3 prefs.js in my profile folder -
prefs.js prefs-1.js and prefs-2.js
Secondly, I cannot find the user.js file. its location if it is still a viable file to edit. which (or what) prefs file I should concentrate on for this edit.
Plainly, it shouldn't be this tough to adjust the vertical scrollbar width, in a perfect world it would be adjustable though Windows. Anyway, this old fart's having difficulty grabbing that scrollbar.
I am running debian linux wheezy, and recently, all of a sudden, all videos in my iceweasel browser have been refusing to play videos of any kind at full volume. I am, however, able to download the video and play it at full volume on vlc player or sytem video player.Why iceweasel is acting this way?
I can't see any video on Flickr (but I see ..... videos...)My browser is Firefox 1.0 / Namoroka version 3.6.3preI updated the Flashplayer with no results.
Firefox started acting funny.On most video sites, but not all, there wouldbe no sound.Along with this, some of these sites would also have the glitch that videos would play for about 3 seconds, then stop. If I moved the slider to a different point in the video, it would again work for a few seconds, then stop. If I close FF and try to reopen, I get an error message that it is already running, although if I don't leave it openet that message.I then go to the system monitor and shut down the sleeping FF process, and can then restart FF and the problem is fixed for a few hours.
Whit opensuse 11.3 X86_64 I began with Linux. I like it very much but I have a problem. In Firefox no videos: instead it appears a flashing icon with FLV written above
Using Ubuntu 9.04, Firefox 3.5, Flashplugin 10.0.45. Flash videos have no sound in Firefox. In Seamonkey they work nice. Tried unsuccessfully many solutions found here and other websites.
Downloaded FF4. For my purposes it doesn't seem that much different from FF3. I was able to watch videos on a news website that I hadn't been able to with FF3! On FF3, with the windows theme I have, there is a nice blue tint on the top of the tab, but not on FF4.
I recently upgraded to Lucid 10.04 from Hardy 8.04, and since then I have no audio when watching You Tube videos in Firefox. I checked the sound preferences and I have sound in other applications, but not for You Tube. Oddly enough, I get sound on You Tube just fine using the Chrome browser, but it's not my preferred browser and I'd really like to get it working under Firefox. In another forum, someone suggested doing a "sudo apt-get install alsamixergui," but that didn't help.Is this some sort of Firefox bug? I googled the problem and others have reported it as such, but I cannot locate a fix. Anyone? Thanks in advance.
can anyone else whos installed 64bit lucid 10.04 build check to see if bbc iplayer or media clips play ? i've got the following installed:
flashplugin-installed flashplugin-nonfree
but media clips from [url] just seem to be static, pressing on the play now button has no effect. videos media and general flash seems to be fine, just nothing from the bbc.
yesterday the update manager asked to install some updates. i accepted (as usual). today i found that i couldn't watch videos on videos or some flash content.
here is a copy of the history of installations code...
I am using openSUSE 11.2 64-bit with Firefox 3.5.8 and Shockwave Flash plugin 10.0 r45. I am getting only video but no sound in Flash videos. Exactly how do I fix this?
Code:Scientific Linux version 2.6.9-67.EL.cernsmp (root@lxcert-i386) (gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-9)) #1 SMP Wed Nov 21 16:22:33 CET 2007.My default web browser is firefox.it is working fine. But when ever i try to play a video in the webside it says Code:Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page.install missing pluginslick here to download plugins.When i clic the install missing plugins it saysCode:adobe flash player is installed. restart firefox to work the plugins correctly i have restarted firefox the problem persist.
i got the weirdest flash player problem on the planet. so, here's what the problem is. whenever i play low quality 360p flash videos in fullscreen in firefox, i get horrible performance and it eats up all the cpu resources, as compared to 1080p fullscreen video, which is smoooooooth and doesn't take up as many resources as low quality videos. why is that? i am using flash 10.2 beta 64 bit and have 64 bit ubuntu, but the problem persisted even on the stock flash player.
I went to mozilla, installed the tar ball package into /opt/, then double clicked on the shell script named firefox inside the /opt/firefox folder.I go to a few sites that stream videos kind of in a way YouTube does as well. So when I go to play the file which is typically in a jwplayer. Firefox thinks I am trying to open to save the file? It attempts to play the video inside dragonplayer, I just want it to run the video. I have also uninstsalled IceWeasel, running KDE shell. x64.
I don't know why but suddenly Firefox has stopped playing any of the Vimeowebsite videos. I am assuming it has to do with some recent software update (no clue which one.)First of all I want to see if anyone else is having this problem. If it's just me then I will have to solve it the local level although I don't have a clue where to start with this one.I would be grateful to anyone who has also seen this to verify that its not just my system getting funky.
