Flash player block the sound. [SOLVED]

Hi !
I'm having a problem with Flash which is the kind of little annoyance that can quite quickly get on someone nerve. Here it is:
Every time a flash video is played, the flashplugin stop the sound from working anywhere else. What actually happens is that if I type "lsof /dev/dsp/" the output will be the process in which the flash video is, or has been played. The major problem is that even if I leave the page containing the flash video, as long as the process is active I won't be able to have any sound... So I have to kill the process.
This has been more tolerable lately since I switched to Chrome, since every tab is its own process I just have to close the bad tab, but that is still quite annoying.
I have absolutely no idea what can cause the flash plugin to act like that, I've searched over google and this forum and haven't been able to find anyone having the same problem... Am I the only one to experience that ?
On a seemingly unrelated subject, the sound in flash video is delayed by about one second, whereas it is good in any over case (amarok and VLC).
I am running arch 64, and am using the flashplugin that can be found in the extra repository of Arch:
pacman -Qs flash
local/flashplugin 10.0.42.34-1
    Adobe Flash Player
local/libflashsupport 9.0.21.78-5
    Macromedia flash plugin support lib (OSS SSL)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If something isn't clear, please ask me, I am French so my English might not be perfect...

Using your message I went to the Arch wiki and found that. I've done wht they said by adding snd-pcm-oss to my banned modules, and everything seems to be fine !
The sound delay also seem to have disappeared, or at least reduced a huge lot.
Thank you very much for your help !
Cheers to the both of you, i was having the same problems and they were driving me nuts!

    Hey Kirby17,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you are not getting any sound from the speaker, follow this article.
    iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
    Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
    Try turning off Bluetooth.
    If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.
    Have a nice day,

  • I'm trying to download Adobe Flash Player, but the yellow bar with the 'Allow' button doesn't come up, so the programme is being blocked, giving me no ability to unblock it.

    A bar is supposed to come up, when I'm trying to download Adobe Flash Player. The bar is supposed to have an option to 'Allow' the download. The programme is being blocked and is not downloading, but the bar doesn't come up, so I'm unable to enable its download.

    The instructions you are referring to are out of date and not the ideal way to install / update Flash.
    Instead:
    # Download (save to your desktop) http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe
    # Download http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
    # Close Firefox
    # Run uninstall_flash_player.exe, click through to uninstall any old versions of Flash
    # Run install_flash_player.exe to install Flash.

  • Why does Adobe Flash Player block me from using Firefox?

    Every time I try to use Firefox, Adobe Flash Player blocks me from doing so.
    I get continual messages that keep reappearing: """""""Adobe Flash Player 11.5 r502 has stopped working.
    A problem occurred to make the program stop working correctly. Windows has closed... etc. """""""
    This message just keeps re-appearing, and I can't do anything else by close out of it........
    and then switch to another browser. I CAN'T USE FIREFOX.
    I went in and downloaded the new version, just to make sure it wasn't being blocked by an old version,
    but that didn't matter at all. It still blocks me out.
    HELP!!!!!!! How do I stop this?

    I'm sorry you're going through this.  I suspect you're running into a conflict with our Protected Mode which was introduced in Flash Player 11.4.  Please try the troubleshooting steps outlined in this FAQ:
    How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
    In particular, I'd recommend temporarily disabling protected mode (for troubleshooting purposes only) to see if that addresses the issue.  If it does, please re-enable it and give our latest Flash Player 11.6 beta a shot.  You can download it here:

And this is what i have found on there support page Raptr wants me to download "Flash for Other Browsers". Where do I get that? : Raptr Support
    You can follow the steps on that link, I hope it will solve your problem.

  • Flash Player Blocked

    I am trying to update my flash player to the lastest version, I have gone through the download and install process about a dozen times now and i still keep gettin the same message which is as follows:
    Blocked Plug-In
    The version of “Adobe Flash Player” on your system does not include the latest security updates and has been blocked. To continue using “Adobe Flash Player”, download an updated version from Adobe’s website.
    It says that the file size if 16.1MB but everytime i have downloaded it and have gone back through to check it all the amount it downloads variers from 2.6MB of the 16.1 the most it has downloaded in the dozen attempts was 8.8MB.
    I have checked my internet connection thinking that could be the problem but it isn't my internet connection is running smoothly.
    My operating system is: iMac OS X 10.6.8
    The version of flash player it says is installed on my computer is: 11.6.602.180 (obviously though it isnt working as I cant view any videos or any internet content that requires flash player)
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

  • Flash Player ignores my sound settings

    With my Creative Xi-Fi Sound card software I have accurately configured how stereo sound has to be upmixed. This especially includes the crossover frequency and volume of my subwoofer. Unfortunately the Adobe Flash Player is the only software (I am currently using), which does completely ignore this and does its own 5.1 upmixing. Unfortunately this gives me way to much bass and makes youtube less entertaining (especially when watching music clips).
    Why isn't there any option to disable this 5.1 upmix and let the user decide (system wide) how stereo sound has to be treated?
    Best regards

    I had the same problem with my X-Fi and its software upmix (useless in the case of flash player). Apparently, Adobe thinks that upmixing flash sound to match the system speaker configuration is the right way to go (ignoring the horrible results in the audio quality, like in the bass balancement and in the center speaker being too loud), and they are not going to change this behaviour soon.
    However, i found a workaround in this old post ( http://forums.adobe.com/message/5352195 ): you need to add the line
    UseWAVPlayer=1
    to MMS.CFG , located in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash in 64bit windows.

  • After installing Flash Player, I lost sound on Youtube and other sites.  How do I fix it?

    After installing Flash Player, I lost sound on Youtube and other sites.  How do I fix it?  I still have sound on some apps.

    To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
    Operating   system  
    Browser  
    Flash   Player version
    When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details.  Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
    Windows  
    Mac
    Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player.  I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform.  If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing.  You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.
    HTML5   video  
    Non-HTML5 video

  • Flash player on the new mac sarafi can't use keyboard and event listener

    flash player on the new mac sarafi can't use keyboard and event listener
    cn:英文有些差不好意思，附上中文说明：在flash player web 开发时，我在最新版本的sarafi上，目前出现不能响应键盘事件bug,为了验证是不是我本地问题，我也用在多款别的网页游戏上进行测试，全有这个bug，另外，有时还有那个fp弹出本地 缓存提示设置窗口也点不了“允许或拒绝“那些按钮

    Now after 5 weeks, you have always not resolved this very important and urgent issue. It seems that Adobe has realy abandonned the actionscript / flash player projects. Why not simply discontinue flash player on desktops too ? Or even better remove or block "automaticaly" all flash players with the final update. That could create a serious issue on the Internet for few weeks but at least that will be honorable end like a Samurai's Seppuku...

  • How do I install flash player from the home screen?

    I am operating Mac OSX.  I have flash player version 16.0.0.  I can't play any videos because my flash player is out of date.  I download the latest flash player and when I go to install it, it takes me here www.adobe.com.  There is no "Install flash player" prompt like there used to be.  There is a "Download Creative Cloud" prompt for a fee.  I go to the menu and there is no install flash player prompt.  I go to Adobe Flash Player in the lower right hand corner and it prompts me to download the flash player again but not to install it and then I end up right back to the Adobe home screen again where there is no install flash player prompt.  I search "install flash player" and it takes me to a prompt to download the flash player again which of course brings me back to the home screen where again, there is no install now prompt.  I've been at this for days, extremely frustrated.  How do I install flash player?

    Hi Alicia,
    If the browser is opening when you attempt to mount the DMG image, then somehow, the browser has been set as the default program to open DMG files.  You'll need to change this association for the DiskImageMounter.app file to be the default program to open the DMG file.  Please do the following:
    Select the installer DMG file and CTRL-click on the DMG file.If DiskImageMounter.app is available, select that and skip to step 4 below
    From the menu, select Open With > and then select Other...to open Finder
    In Finder, navigate to /System/Library/CoreServices, look for DiskImageMounter.app and select it
    At the bottom center of the Finder window, put a check in the box next to Always Open With
    Click Open in the bottom right of the Finder window
    This will mount the DMG file revealing the installer app.
    Double-click the installer app (Install Adobe Flash Player.app) to launch the installer dialog window.
    Follow prompts to install Flash Player

  • I have an iMac running OSX 10.6.8 and updated to the latest  flash player but the audio on youtube music still won't respond.  Any suggestions besides buying a new computer?

    I have an eight year old iMac running OSX 10.6.8 and just installed the latest Flash Player but the audio won't play on the youtube music website.  What else do I need to update or install to listen to the music?

    just installed the latest Flash Player
    Did you uninstall all the previous versions of Adobe Flash Player?  Did you repair permissions and restarted your computer after the installation?
    Which browser & version are you using?  Have you tried other browsers? 
    Please advise.
