I'm running Ubuntu 10.4, Firefox 3.6.12 and Flash 10.1 r102 and Chrome 8.0.552.208 beta. Both of these browsers will show video, but not play sounds.
I *do* have sound with Rhythmbox or when playing games, eg bzflag.
I have tried removing firefox and downloading the tarball version from Mozilla. I have tried running firefox as root. I have upgraded to the latest firefox and latest flash.
I suspect this is the appropriete section for my post:I'm having a problem with opera (the same happens with FF and konqueror).The browsers will open and play flash content fine.BUT NO SOUND.Sound works with audio players like XMMS and Amarok.I've reinstalled Alsa plugins, KDEmultimedia, and the only libsound package I have in repos, to no avail.Also - can someone direct me to selecting ALSA to be used, vs..(anything else).
View 9 Replies View Relatedi am using 64-bit ubuntu 10.04 and recently upgraded my drivers to catalyst 11.2 (ati mobility radeon 5470). lately my flash has been crashing constantly, to the point where i've uninstalled it so i can use the internet. the browser eventually recovers on websites like facebook and the worst culprit, gmail (videos is hopeless), and does so immediately if i "killall npviewer.bin" - firefox will go unresponsive for about 30 seconds then recover, and depending on the website it will go unresponsive again - on gmail this only takes a few seconds. it happens in firefox, epiphany, and chromium. i think this problem looks familiar and there was some fix by editing a text file somewhere, but i can't find that problem i remember anymore so i can't check.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI don't know what happened, but sometime within the last week I have started having a really annoying issue. Whenever I open a web page, that contains embedded Flash, in any browser (Firefox, Google Chrome, Chromium, or Opera), the entire browser, and all windows and tabs, freezes for about :15 seconds or so. After that time, everything unfreezes and works as normal, except for the video which often times doesn't even play after the freeze occurs. I don't believe I have made any major changes to my system, just the updates that show up in the notification area.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI installed 64bit flash last week when I installed Ubuntu 10.04 64bit on my new laptop, and for the past week it has worked without issues.
However a couple of day ago it simply stopped showing flash videos on sites such as ..... etc. I think there might have been a ream of updates around the time this happened but my memory is a little vague.
I have since tried installing the each of the 3 flash codecs in turn that Firefox recommends but these will not install, failing with an exit status of 2. After I tried this I followed the 64bit flash instructions on the Wiki once more to get back to the point when it previously worked but alas this has been of no help.
I have also tried loading flash videos in Chromium and these suffer from the same issue. Anyone have any ideas what could have caused flash to suddenly stop working?
i'm running 10.04 x64, with the latest versions of google chrome, chromium, opera, epiphany, firefox, and swiftfox.
strangely, flashplayer works fine in all of them except swiftfox, where it presents a garbled, unclickable video window (tested in videos).
all my other ff addons and plugins seem to work ok in swiftfox, so i assumed that swiftfox is just reading and using everything in ~/.mozilla, including flash. but perhaps not. anyone have any idea why ff's flashplayer doesn't work in swiftfox?
So I have no sound in my browsers. Firefox 5.0, Chromium 12 and Chrome 12.
Originally I was thinking it was just in Flash player. So I found lots of articles, and tried their suggestions and none of them did anything (things like linking (ln) plugins from one to another, reconfiguring flash, running browsers in sudo, etc).
Then I thought I'd check if html5 sites gave me sound. And they don't. I can't get sound in any way in my browsers.
I have perfect sound in other programs though, notifications, music, etc all work fine.
I have no idea how to diagnose this any further. I've already tried half a dozen "fixes" others have put up out there, and nothing is working.
How do I find the plugins folders of the various browsers and insert flash in the browsers plugins folder,root wont allow it.
Also the browsers are google,opera,seamonkey, and others if applicable.
I am experiencing frequent crashes for my browsers (FireFox, Opera, Konquerer). It doesn't seem to be related to the amount of tabs I have open, sometimes it will crash on 1 tab, and sometimes it is fine to have 20 tabs up. In addition to this, some flash videos hang after 3 secs.

I'm running 10.10 and sound works great... except for with web browsers. Namely Chrome and firefox.I've tried just about every thread I can find to fix this. pulseaudio is loaded, alsa-oss... flash-nonfree-**** loaded.This really shouldn't be this hard, should it? Hell I've been working with linux since it was distributed on fidonet and have admined unix for 20 years. WTF?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI updated the firefox-next PPA and updated to the new release however, upon doing that, I lost the sound in ALL my browsers. (?) I am using Google Chrome and Chromium as well.I have since downgraded and the problem still occurs.
Edit: I have sound in Umplayer and SMplayer but that's it. Banshee and Guayadeque are silent...
I just upgraded my Slackware64-current version to the latest kernel 2.6.32.3. Almost everything works just fine, except that I have no sound on the command line and in web browsers, anymore. I don't get any sound out of the command line program play and Flash.
For example, I have a few .wav files, that I can play with Kaffeine and Amarok, but when I try to play them with play on the command line, the program runs and displays that it plays the file, but I don't hear any sound. The same happens with XMMS, too: It displays the usual graphics showing the dynamics and the progress, but my speakers remain silent.
Also, alsaconf doesn't detect my audio hardware, anymore. I have onboard sound and a Creative X-Fi PCI card. Usually both were "seen" by alsaconf. Now it tells me, that it can't identify any audio cards.
On the other hand, when I go into the multimedia section of the KDE system settings, I can "Test" the audio hardware, and the onboard sound works great and I can hear the KDE welcome sound. I have already remove all packages withe 'alsa' in their name and re-installed them, including their compat32 peers, and rebooted several times. Up to now to no avail. Does anyone have a clue, what the problem is caused by?
I just installed wheezy and upgraded to jessie. I had previously gotten sound working in wheezy by installing the flashplugin-nonfree and flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound packages, after configuring my headset in system settings. However, now I can't get sound to play in firefox. I've installed flashplugin-nonfree, flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound, and pulseaudio, still without luck. The volume is turned all the way up in alsamixer, sound tests play fine, and I can play music in VLC without any problems. This leads me to believe it's not a problem with drivers, but with some package I'm missing that will allow firefox to play sound. Sound wasn't working in the default video player either, before I installed the flash plugin. Is there something I'm missing?
Also, sound doesn't play on Konqueror either (KDE browser), which seems to indicate it's a problem with flash and not with firefox itself. After removing the flash plugin and installing pepperflashplugin-nonfree to ensure the pepper plugin was used instead of flash, sound still would not play in chromium, so I reinstalled the flash plugin and still don't have sound in any browser.
I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64 beta. After installing the flash player, everything worked fine. I installed a few updates, as well as Ubuntu Stuido from the synaptic package manager, and when I rebooted, I can't hear any sound from flash content displayed in Fire Fox. All other sounds work fine, and I made another user account as a test, and that account has full audio functionality, including flash...
View 5 Replies View RelatedFlash was updated two days ago on my system:
Since then, I have been unable to get any sound out of flash. All other sound sources work fine.
i was using ubuntu 09.10 and everything worked fine. when i upgrated to the new version, i had no sound using videos.i installed the version flash 10 and flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound from package manager and the problem was fixed for a few days. suddenly, i had no sound again. other sound applications work properly.i checked the plugins of mozilla and discovered that the shockwave flash version was 9.0 r31! however, the package manager says that the 10 version is installed!i tried to upgrade the version of the plugin. it sends me to a link of adobe where i can download a tar.gz file. i follow the instructions:
<installation instructions for tar.gz1. click the download link to begin installation. a dialog box will appear asking you where to save the file.2. save the .tar.gz file to your desktop and wait for the file to download completely.3. unpackage the file. a directory called install_flash_player_10_linux will be created.4. in terminal, navigate to this directory and type ./flashplayer-installer to run the installer. click enter. the installer will instruct you to shut down your browser(s).5. once the installation is complete, the plug-in will be installed in your mozilla browser. to verify, launch mozilla and choose help > about plug-ins from the browser menu.>when i open the tar.gz file, i only see a file named libflashplayer.so, which is extracted as such. no match with the previous instructions and as a result i cannot follow them to install that file.
I recently updated my ALSA drivers to 1.0.23 and I am also running the latest version of flash (v10) and I'm having problems with sound. When I open a flash video in any browser i cannot control the volume from the master volume control. the application does not even show up under the applications tab in the volume control. I'm sick of loading flash videos with sound being turned up all the way.
View 1 Replies View Relatedflash sound problems after upgrading to 10.04 i found i had problems with flash and sound. this was caused by having two versions of flash plugin installed in firefox one of which wasn't appearing in package manager to check how many versions are installed in firefox address bar type about:plugins if there are more than one entry for flash player enter the following into a terminal rm ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so more details and other possible fixes can be found here: [URL]

I have:

flashplugin-installer
I also have gnash, klash, swfdec and some others.
Today I noticed a large sound gap while playing Minecraft. There is about a second of lag between an action and the sound effect. This wasn't happening the night before, and I thought it might be a problem with Java or Minecraft until I noticed it on a flash application in Firefox. I've tried killing pulse audio, but I noticed nothing. I also looked into the sound preferences and tried the speaker test, which had no lag.
Other possibly relevant information : I dual boot my laptop with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10. Ubuntu has some updates ready, but I don't believe its relevant because the problem just started.
I'm having some troubles with my soundcards. I have a Audigy ES PCI soundcard and I just recently bought an M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 soundcard and at the moment I have both of them installed. I'm dual booting w/ Windows xp and I need the Audigy in Windows for gaming and because of the mic input that the M-Audio doesn't have.
First when I installed the M-Audio only Amarok (and probably other 'Phonon' apps) worked but I had no sound in mplayer, xine etc. With some googling I found a way to make the M-Audio card the primary card for Alsa and now mplayer & xine work fine too. M-audio 24/96 uses the module ice1712.Today I noticed I don't have sound in flash player (I use opera, but tried firefox too), and the (alsa?) command aplay won't play any .wavs. Flash sounds used to work okay with only the Audigy installed. I have tried to reinstall the flash player.Aplay -l :

I updated flashplugin-nonfree to 10.2 today and now there is no sound in Chromium when playing e.g. ..... videos. The sound does work in Opera on the same videos. Aboutlugins shows "Shockwave Flash 10.2 r152" in both browsers.
View 3 Replies View RelatedSound from other applications is fine. I have tried removing and reinstalling the flash packages but it did not help. Any ideas on how to trouble shoot this further? I am running 11.04 64bit. It was working fine earlier but something seems to have screwed it up.

ATI HD 5850 and Realtek Semiconductor Corp. soundcard. Using Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit. When I first installed Ubuntu, the soundcard did not work properly i.e. no sound from jack or the mic didnt work either, I went to this page: [URL].. updated the ALSA as stated in the topic. After this, everything looked good. Everything worked except the flash-sound.
I have:
* Removed flash, firefox and chrome.
* Manualy removed the flashplugin.so, boath in $HOME and in /etc/<something>
* I tried to use this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=204022, but I think I ruined it moore. (Creates some symbolic links)
* Re-installed flash, firefox and chrome. I have tried FLASH-AID plugin in Firefox, I have tried donwloading flash from synaptic.
* Tried to figure somthing out on IRC, without success.
I installed Kubuntu 10.04 and found out that there is no sound for flash in firefox. Also I here no sound when playing local video files (VLC, KMPlayer).
I checked kMix and everything is on. I tried to install pulseaudio, but I am not sure about it. Last time I saw it couldnt connect to some server or what... Although I can hear system sound and Amarok 2 plays mp3. I didnt mention that I tried to install libflashplugin and kubuntu restricted extras.
Something that has been bugging me. I'm not sure about where it should be so I put it here.
When I loaded up a flash game, the music/sound would be delayed. It's nothing with the performance of my PC because it's still fast.
I spent 2 hours with Sam on IRC #Ubuntu and went through a very involved investigation of the problem. At the end, still no sound.The sound worked perfectly before the Adobe upgrade. To be clear, now have no sound period, no system sound, no playback sound, no sound online, offline, nada.I am running Ubuntu 10.04, which I don't want to update at this time. I'm running this OS on a desktop PC and have no idea what sound card I have.I recently installed a new ALSA mixer and have checked to be sure nothing is muted. I've read through a ton of posts and so far have found nothing that exactly solves this
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop, and I can't see flash in Firefox. I can hear flash, but not see it. I'm not sure when this started, because I haven't been using Firefox in a while. I've been using Chrome but now I want to use Firefox 4 beta (which also has the same flash problem as Firefox).
