After Mozilla Firefox update, online videos are on fast forward mode

Asked by Maria Christopoulou

Hello,

After Mozilla Firefox update, online videos are on fast forward mode, and also there is no sound.
I use Ubuntu linux 11.10 and Mozilla Firefox version is 13.0.1.
Before this update, I didn't have any problem.
As it happens with all online videos, could this be a flash player issue?

Best Regards,
Maria

Hi,

I'm sorry for the delayed post.

Apart from online videos, the problem was present in Banshee as well (which I hadn't tested before posting here).

It was finally solved by writing in etc/default/grub:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash radeon.audio=1"

Thank you for your help.

Regards,

Maria.
