No Sound from Flash Applications in Firefox

Asked by Zacht

I cannot get sound to play from videos using flash in Firefox. The video plays fine but it is just silent.

Sound works fine for every other program (Banshee, Songbird, Totem).

I have tried almost everything suggested about this problem.

I have installed the flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound package.

I have installed the alsa-oss package and modified the firefoxrc file (have since unmodified it because that did not work).

I have completely removed Pulseaudio.

And I have thoroughly toggled with the settings under System>Preferences>Sound.

Still no sound and still all other programs work fine.

I am using:
Jaunty Jackalope 9.04
Firefox-3.0.11
Flashplayer 10.0.22.87ubuntu2 (installed via Synaptic Package Manager using flashplugin-nonfree and flashplugin-installer packages)

Thanks

System>Admin>System Monitor
Then the processes tab.
Kill npviewer.bin
Then reload the page in firefox.
This works is a quick work around and works on my computer.

Hope that helps

An hello to everybody here! I'm a new element of Launchpad and I'm here to learn and help when and where is possible!

Well... I had the same problem exposed by Zacht and I solved it by downloading PulseAudio Volume Control.

1- Aplications>Ad/Remove programs> All programs>Search: PulseAudio Volume Control
2- After the instalation open one site with flash videos as Youtube, and than, play a video.
3- Launch PulseAudio Volume Control: Aplications>Sound and Video>PulseAudio Volume Control
3- Select tab Playback>ALSA plug-in (firefox): ALSA Playback and than in the arrow at the right choose Move Stream and than select your Sound Card device.

I hope this can help you!

Can you help with this problem?
