Ubuntu :: No Sound For You Tube Videos In Firefox After Upgrade To 10.04
Aug 29, 2010
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.
I'm new to linux, When i try to watch videos on you tube, or anywhere, sometimes they don't work. Or they are real choppy. It certainly didn't do that when i was running windows, I know its not the internet speed.
When I try and play any You Tube video the video area just stays black. I also don't get any sound.
10.04 64 bit Firefox 3.6.17
I have installed the restricted drivers, cleaned out all my recent history (cookies, etc) and restarted Firefox. Same result. Just a black screen. I went here: [URL] Where Adobe says I can test to see if flash is working and it said everything was installed successfully.
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.
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.
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?
I upgraded to a new(er) soundcard this morning on my Slack 13.1 desktop box. I ran alsoconf and got sound working in everything but Firefox flash. It's not specifically a flash problem; flash sound works just fine in Konqueror. It's a Firefox issue. I created the following login script in order to try and force the new card to be recognized as the default:
Code: bash-4.1$ cat .asoundrc pcm. !default { type hw card 1 } ctl. !default { type hw card 1 }
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.
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.
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
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.
If I try playing ..... or other streaming video I have no sound. It used to work and then my dumbA$$ tinkered with it and now I have restored Flash, which was working flawlessly, don't know where my head was at but it was dark and smelly.
EDIT: I have Ubuntu 9.10 and my sound card is an nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio (rev a2). I tried to follow along with the instructions in the sticky regarding the

Comprehensive Sound Problem Solutions Guide
but when it gave me the instruction to select my sound card manufacturer from the drop down menu, I never found it.
FWIW, my speaker are on and they play music, system sounds etc, just no sound for streaming video. Pandora works fine etc. Also, this is isolated to Firefox, as it works fine in Opera.
Chromium is not playing any sounds with video (....., etc.) Sound output on my system is working fine and working fine with firefox embedded videos. I have uninstalled and installed and tried changing other settings with no resolution.
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...
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.
This is true for .flv, .avi, .mov, and .mp4, at least. This is true in both vlc and movie player. Thumbnails generated from frames in the videos appear correctly in nautilus. Videos play fine in firefox, on ....., but I downloaded one as an .flv and then it had the same problem. I have restricted extras freshly installed. My "Ubuntu 9.10 - the Karmic Koala" system is fully updated. I've found several other forum posts about the same kind of problem, but I couldn't find anything helpful in them (like that the contrast setting might be WAY out of whack, which it wasn't, or that nvidia drivers needed to be updated or reinstalled, which I don't have anyway, etc).
I just built a new system and installed Kubuntu. I'm having some sound problems, but they are very strange.First sound worked fine out of the box, played a DVD fine, flash video, fine. The only trouble I was having was some static/interference which I assume is from the onboard sound not being the bestThen I went to play a flash video, and I got no sound, just some slight static (from the onboard sound?)ayed a DVD - no soundRestarted, Kubuntu played its opening tune, I heard it, but STILL no DVD sound or flash video sound.Emptying recycle bin sound ok.I played an mp3, music plays fine.
So I figured I'd figure it out later and went to go do something else. Later in the day I opened a flash game, and THERE WAS SOUND. Weird. Opened a DVD, sound. Flash video,sound.Yay! It fixed itself!Later on, I go to play another flash video (after not using anything with sound at all for a bit) and I don't get any sound again! Opened DVD,no soundBut I opened a song and I have sound there still. Kubuntu still plays a sound when loading KDE and emptying the recycle bin.It hasn't moved itself from the no sound stage again yet. I installed about 24 hours ago.
I am running 10.04 on an old computer. I can watch netflix videos, but there is no sound. I tested the speakers on another computer and they work. That leaves either the sound card, or something about 10.04. How do I debug this?
I recently upgraded my Dell laptop from Ubuntu 8.04 to 10.04 and everything seems to be working ok, except that when playing Flash videos in Firefox, I don't hear any sound. Sound works for the system, as I can play videos and music via VLC just fine.
I haven't installed or changed my system in anyway apart from the usual updates and all was fine until about a week ago. I can play videos back through any of the native linux players VLC, Movie player - But I only get black screen with sound - it was working fine and then suddenly - boink? The only program that can play back sound and video now is avidemux
I purged VLC - but I already knew it wouldn't fix it - since it was system wide So I installed VLC through winetricks to check and guess what - it works - all formats Anyone know what the problem could be? or more importantly how to fix it?
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.
