No Sound Firefox Flash

Hi all,

I'm probably blind, but is there a solution to this problem, everything else works just no sound in youtube.

You need to give us some more information to work with. Which version of SL are you using (see Press Release shed for the list of versions)? Is it the 32-bit or 64-bit edition of SL? What hardware are you running it on? Are you using Entropy or Portage? Is your installation fully updated to the latest package versions in the Entropy repository (or Portage tree and SL overlay if you use Portage)? Do you get any error messages? What happens if you run Firefox from a Terminal/Konsole window?

32-bit Sabayon 4.2 fully updated through Entropy repository.

Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.20GHz
ATI Radeon 9800 XT
1GB RAM
SB Audigy 2 ZS

No errors, and through terminal it opens a new Firefox browser.

Have a look at the Pulseaudio manual.

Did you go into the settings -> multimedia and set it all to pulseaudio? and if you test the sound using pulseaudio does it work?

sound card did not complain on reboot, about switching.

Dragon Player, XMBC, Amarok have audio VLC and Flash dont.

got my solution to this from the gentoo forums
here http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-5964574.html?sid=4ed10d5e476875ed62606cdfa6f4ba30

pulseaudio user ?

then you might need

www-plugins/libflashsupport

and set up pulseaudio correctly:

~/.asoundrc :

Code: Select all
pcm.pulse {
     type pulse
 }
 
 ctl.pulse {
     type pulse
 }
 
 pcm.!default {
    type pulse
 }
 
 ctl.!default {
     type pulse
 }

btw this solved the sound problem of flash across konqueror too not just firefox.

64bit sabayon branch5 had the same issue in 4.2kde also
