Audio doesn't work on some programs after boot (sometimes)

Check new message dated 30.06.2014
Hi,
I'm having a weird problem. After booting my computer, the audio sometimes works perfectly, sometimes not at all, and sometimes it works on some programs but not on others. For example last night audio played without problem on Chromium, VLC and Amarok. Today after boot it played on VLC, but not Amarok (didn't realise to check Chromium), and now after reboot it plays on VLC and Amarok but not on Chromium.
Chromium means YouTube (HTML5) and others (Flash).
My DE is KDE (was xfce4 with mostly same audio trouble). Soundcard is USB DAC (SMSL Fort) and on KDE's Audio and Video setting I have it listed at the top and the "test" button works (i.e. it plays a sound).

I think that you have multiple sound devices and their boot order changes after each reboot.

The back button doesn't work for some websites after downloading version 4.0

I recently downloaded firefox version 4.0. Upon downloading it I had a few issues occur with my browser. One issue was that all of my bookmarks that were on my toolbar disappeared. Also, when I visit a website and am browsing through it, if I want to go back to a previous page the back button doesn't work properly. Instead of sending me back to the previous page I was viewing it sends me all the way back to the home page or wherever I started on that website. This problem basically affects all websites that I visit. I would like to uninstall the new version of firefox and just go back to my old one if that's possible? Thanks

To respond to your comments first of all, the Bookmarks toolbar has been removed in Firefox 4.0
The back button should work as it normally does, but you can also right click it and select it from the list.
To revert to a previous version of Firefox, download v3.6.16 from here: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.16]
Then uninstall Mozilla Firefox 4.0 choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc.
Finally run the Firefox installation file you downloaded earlier.

Audio doesn't work after encoding

I have finished editing a video and gone to export it as a WMV and the audio doesn't work; there is just a buzzing noise.
The audio works fine on the timeline, but i just cannot export it.
Any ideas what's gone wrong?

Hi ATR, thanks for getting back to me. Here is all the info you required:
It's Premiere Elements 10 on a Windows 7 PC.
The source media is a mix of WMV, MP3 audio and JPGs.
The project settings are:
Editing Mode: DSLR
Timebase: 25.00 frames/second
Frame size: 1920 x 1080
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square Pixels (1.0)
The export settings are:
Windows Media:
Presets: HD 720p 25
File type: Windows media
Frame size: 1280 x 720
Fps: 25
Audio settings: 440 kbps, 96kHz, 2 channel 24 bit VBR (I have tried it with a number of different variations on this and still had no luck)
I’ve tried opening with Windows media player as well as VLC. Neither are having it.

Sound working on some programs but not others (Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC)

The sound is working for some programs (iTunes) on my laptop, but will not work with Chrome, Internet Explorer or BBC iPlayer Downloads.
I'm at a loss to explain why. When I open up the Sound settings on the laptop, I can see that iTunes output plays on the 'Speakers and Dual Headphones' device, which is what I believe all my sound would usually come out from. I can hear it as usual.
However, when I play audio in Chrome, no sound comes out, but it appears the device 'SPDIF (Digital Out via HP Dock)' is now playing the sound instead. The sound bar for this moves up and down while something is playing, but I cannot hear anything at all.
It is as if my internet programs have been configured to have sound output through a device that does not actually exist. I tried fiddling around with Sound settings and 'Disabled' the SPDIF device, but nothing has actually changed. I would like to hook my internet audio back up to the 'Speakers and Dual Headphones' option but cannot work out how to.
Sorry if this is not very well-explained, but I have never dealt with this problem before.
Thank you so much if you're able to help - this is very frustrating!
Edit: I also recently used a new HDMI cable to hook my laptop up to our TV and think this could be something to do with it

Hi candy, glad that you found that Shockwave Flash Object, it works with the Flash files and is very important
The NPSWF files that you said are not there, those are for the Firefox browser or Chrome or some other browser. If you use Firefox and want the Flash Player for that, then close all of your browsers so you are only looking at your Desktop.
Click on this Flash Player Installer for Firefox and SAVE it to your Desktop. Then RUN it from your Desktop, and after it is finished Installing, Restart your computer.
Then Using Firefox go to the plug-ins and find a SWF vs 10.0.45.2 and make sure it is Enabled. This is just like the Shockwave Flash Object for Internet Explorer, but it is the one that works with Firefox.
Let me know if that is what you wanted to do. If you don't use Firefox, but Chrome or another browser, then this will work for that one also.
If you don't use another browser, then don't do any of this. I just thot maybe you did and that is why you were concerned that the NPSWF files were not there.
Thanks,
eidnolb

5.0.2 Lollipop equalizer & clear audio+ doesn't work anymore (except in walkman)

In 5.0.2 Lollipop update equalizer & clear audio+ doesn't work anymore (except in walkman). In 4.4.4 equalizer works without problem! Sony please fix, because I can't listen other content without adjusted equalizer.

Solution by Rickard
"I have got some more information about this and it's up to the app if the equalizer is used or not. It's not on by default for all apps, the developer of an app must state that they want to use it in their code."
Android team turn this features off in default. Pffff why?? ))
And now we have to wait that all application developers have added this feature, Facepalm.

Adobe 10.2 flash player doesn't work on some site with diff browsers

WTF! I've been through every forum about new adobe flash player it doesnt work on some site i.e facebook, ustream, fox news, dailymotion and cartoon network...Nobody, not even adobe has a real solution to this problem! Some site stream good other don't at all. All I get is a blue box in the display sometimes it loads, but doesn't play the video or games. Updated Java and SWF and by the way this a brand new computer fresh out the box WIN7 64 worked before why not now! I've reinstall and uninstall, checked active X java scripting, and global settings and so on, but nothing seems to work. WHY? Global settings doesn't work for some unknown reason can't enable some of the settings. Everything work fine on my PC before the update, so go figure adobe. No! browser works with the new flash player properly. Fire, IE, Safari, and Opera none of these browser work with the flash player like it should! HELP!!! "I see why apple doesnt wont to have anything to do with adobe flash."

I don't understand - in your post you mention "new Flash Player" several times, but in the subject you mention 10.2...?
What is the exact FP version you have?
For your blue box problem, have you tried to disable Hardware Acceleration?

Left shift key doesn't work on some characters

In some applications, such as Excel and AOL, my left shift key doesn't work on some letters. Consequently, when I'm typing I get lower case letters when I've typed shift plus the letter to get a cap. Right shift works OK, but I'm not used to using it. It happens on i, t, and p, I've noticed so far. I don't know if it's the keyboard or the application. Word seems to work fine.
Would welcome any ideas on what is causing this and how to fix it.

Is it possible that you have inadvertently switched to a different keyboard layout? Open System Preferences, then click on the Language & Text preferences. Within the Language & Text preferences click on the 'Input Sources'. You should see a long list of languages representing the various keyboard layouts that are available. Make sure that only the keyboard language you use is selected. If there are multiple languages selected then de-select the extras.
If you continue to have problems then check the 'Show input menu in menu bar' checkbox in the lower section of the preference pane. This will place an icon in the upper right menu bar (it looks like a flag representing the language you have chosen for your input device) that provides additional options. I suggest selecing the 'Show Keyboard Viewer' option and then try pressing the keys that you are having problems with to see how they show up on the keyboard viewer graphic. If you've set the correct language for your keyboard and the key sequences still don't match, then you may need to take your keyboard in for service. Better yet, borrow another keyboard to confirm that the keyboard is the issue.

Back Button Doesn't Work on Some Websites

How come my Back Button Doesn't Work on Some Websites? It just keeps redisplaying the same page over and over. Example:
http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/front

Back button behaviour can be pretty wierd. I usually use the keyboard combination, but for some reason it doesn't work on PDF's and I have to end up using the graphical back button.
There are some websites out there that for some reason or another break the Back button's behaviour. Sometimes I have to hold down the mouse button to get the back button menu in order to work around that problem.
In another case there was this page in Amazon that wouldn't allow me to go back to. Everytime I went to that page the browser to automatically kick me to the next page. I had to disable javascript to work around that problem.

Hue saturation doesn't work on some images.

My hue and saturation doesn't work on some images.

Apologies for the brief and cryptic question. Frustration.
This is a TIFF file. Originally it was a RAW image that had a preset applied in ACR, then a black and white preset layer added. Then a couple small edits with contrast, plus an unsharp mask and high pass, completed with the flattening of the image and finally saved as a TIFF.
I believe it may have been the flattening, but when I close the image and reopen it it only has one layer. I can go in and edit this reopened image in a new brightness/contrast layer, but hue/contrast seems dead. Unless I colorize the image.
I have a hue/contrast preset I like to use as well, and if I add that preset when the TIFF is reopened hue and saturation can be manipulated.
Your question is exactly the one I have been asking. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for your initial response.
