How to enable sound in Adobe Flash plugin in Linux ?

I installed the Flash plugin from Adobe's yum repo, but there is no sound. When I look on the online settings manager, there is no control to set the sound output device.
On my system, there are multiple sound devices, only one of which works for playback - hw:1,0 in ALSA. In applications which
allow me to choose an audio device, that works.
The Totem media player, like Flash, has no audio settings.
But when I use gnome-sound-properties to set the default playback device to "ALC889 analog", Totem works. Flash does not.

No, no pulseaudio
However, I've solved it. Per http://www.seehuhn.de/pages/alsa, If I set the default ALSA device to card 1, then restart Firefox, Flash sound works. As does "aplay" with no options.
This also works to fix the same issue with the built-in OGG player in Firefox, per my question https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/929698

  • How can I add an Adobe Flash Plugin?

    I cannot find an "Adobe Flash Plugin" in my add-ons list. I search that name and it is not offerred to me.
    I have updated Firefox and downloaded the update for "Adobe Flash Player". Why won't it add a plug in? I'm running Mac OSX 10.6.8.

    Adobe Flashplayer is referred to as Adobe Flash or Flash, but is shown in your Plugins as Shockwave Flash, a name that Adobe assigned. You appear to have the current version installed. You can check your plugins here --> https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/

  • How do I fix the Adobe Flash plugin? It crashed.

    I was on www.sparkpeople.com and I saw the sad face associated with the phrase stating that the Adobe Flash plugin has crashed. I submitted a crash report, but what if anything can I do in the meantime to help this issue get resolved?

    I'd start with disabling Hardware Acceleration, as described in the video troubleshooting guide below:
    Video playback issues
    If that solves the problem, make sure that your graphics drivers are current. 
    If it *still* happens with current drivers, please give us detailed information on the graphics card and driver, so that we can disable hardware acceleration on this configuration and start a conversation with the appropriate vendor.
    The best way to get this information is to do the following (on Windows):
    Open a command prompt
    Type: dxdiag

    This should launch the DirectX Diagnostic Tool

  • Firefox updated to its newest version 12.0. Now my Adobe Flash plugin freezes and hangs every website when it is enabled even though it is the newest version.

    Today Firefox updated to its newest version 12.0. Immediately after update, I couldn't load most websites. The web browser would just freeze. I have determined that the culprit is the Adobe Flash Plugin, however; even with the newest version of the plugin, I am still having problems. Any suggestions?

    can you try this suggestion [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing%20the%20Flash%20plugin#w_playing-flash-videos-makes-firefox-hang] and/or [[How do I upgrade my graphics drivers?]]

  • How to intercept the Adobe Flash plugin block by firefox checking for vulnerabilities?

    The trouble is the grey block, that asking to update Adobe Flash because the version is vulnerability. If the block of Flash object is smaller, then 100px height - there is an empty space, but not gray block with talking about version. I need to intercept the moment using JavaScript, when Firefox checking the version of plugin to make changes in my HTML code to make a GIF, but not flash.
    How to intercept the Adobe Flash plugin block by Firefox checking for vulnerabilities from JavaScript code?

    hello, i don't think that this would be possible (but i'm not sure). what you could do is try to sniff the version of flash that is installed & the firefox useragent and just assume that old versions of the plugin will be blocked in this combination.
    if you need more help about that, i'd recommend posting in a forum that is more specialized & knowledgeable in web development like http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=25, since we here on the firefox support forums are primarily focused on support for end-users...

  • How do I install recommended updates, when I click on adobe flash plugin update now buttons, I hit a dead end on oracle's website, how do I complete the update?

    How do I install recommended updates, when I click on adobe flash plugin update now buttons, I hit a dead end on oracle's website, how do I complete the update?

    First, grab the Adobe uninstaller from here:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
    Then download Flash 10.3.183.90 from here - about halfway down the page:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
    (Released 6/11/2013) Flash Player 10.3.183.90 (61.1 MB)
    IMO, the best version of Flash for WinXP. Adobe kept up with security updates for 10.3 for WinXP users long after Flash 11.0 came out in 2011 for Vista and newer versions of Windows.
    Run the uninstaller, then reboot your operating system.
    Then you can run the Flash installer, with Firefox closed, of course.
    ''Note, if you still use IE you'll need to reinstall the ActiveX version of Flash for IE. That uninstaller removes all versions of Flash that might be installed,''

  • How to stop Adobe Flash plugin from repeatedly crashing Firefox?

    How to stop Adobe Flash plugin from repeatedly crashing Firefox?

    yeah, having the same problem.
    Hulu is working on my internet explorer 8, tho... Interesting thing is that it detected I didn't have the 10.1 version of adobe flash player even though I just downloaded that on firefox. So MAYBE the problem is between firefox and adobe. Just a guess

  • Firefox 34.0.5 says Adobe Flash plugin is blocked, but update check reports my Flash plugin (ver. 16.0.0.235) is current. How to fix???

    About 1 month ago, I updated Flash and Firefox to most current versions. Firefox 34.0.5, running on WinXP, SP3, shows Adobe Flash plugin as ver. 16.0.0.235, but this is now being blocked again. No other versions of Flash are evident. When I choose option on Flash screen to check plugins are up to date, Firefox reports Flash plugin is up to date.
    This program behaviour is wrong and should be fixed. Checking at Adobe, current Flash is 16.0.0.305.
    Who or what is broken here? Is Firefox broken, and not reporting correctly that more current Flash plugin is available?
    I do not appear to have previous versions of Flash installed on system. This combo of software was working correctly for a while, and then became broken, without a proper path to allow users to resolve it. If Firefox is rigged to "Block" a plugin, then it *MUST* be configured to easily and **CORRECTLY** allow that plugin to be updated. Using most current software, my clicking on the "Check for updates" feature reports that Adobe Flash is most current version. Arrrrgh!!
    I am now back to "diagnose and fix broken Firefox+Flash" exercise, which I just went thru.
    Best solution here would be to allow user to easily override the "blocking" mechanism. This would assist users who only use Flash video access on trusted sites.
    If there is an obvious solution to this current Flash "BLocking" goofery, please inform. Otherwise, if and when I resolve this, I will post a reply to my own question here, indicating what I did to fix this, as it appears to be affecting other Firefox+Flash users, without a clear solution being posted.

    Adobe issued 3 new Flash 16 versions in January alone, then another new one - .305 - in February, ''along with one in early December. Five new versions in 2 months time''. So with updating Flash "about 1 month ago", you are probably 2 or 3 versions behind the latest Flash 16 version.
    Note that Adobe has its own internal updater, which by default is set to check for an update ''(only)'' once a month. Adobe does their own updates for their software, Firefox just tells you when your version is on the blocklist due to known security issues with the version you have installed. It is up to you to do a manual update between the monthly update check that Flash does for your installation.
    The "solution" is for Adobe to fix their stuff. Like maybe an updater that checks for updates more frequently, and not hide their updater user preferences where users don't know where they are and be able to set it for more a frequent update check cycle. ''[Firefox "checks" every time Firefox is launched, as does Chrome]''. Or fix the code in Flash that leads to it being so exploitable, and not have to do 5 separate security fixes in as little as a 2 month time span. ''Flash went almost 2 years prior to Dec 2014 without Mozilla needing to blocklist it, and when Mozilla did first blocklist it in Dec it was / is a soft-block where the user can still use it by using Allow per Flash presentation.''
    My advice is to grab the Extended Support Release - Flash Player 13.0.0.269 from here - https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html - over 3/4 down that page. IMO the best version for WinXP users, as the later versions have features for Vista and later versions of Windows - won't work on WinXP or may cause problems on WinXP.

  • Can anyone tell me how can I watch any video on Firefox without Adobe Flash Plugin?

    OK I don't know but the latest version of flash player really frustrated me. I don't like Chrome been my entire life Firefox user, but I will have to switch over since I can't stand adobe flash plugin. I uninstalled it and after reboot Firefox automatically plays videos in youtube but does not do the same thing in dailymotion or vimeo or other websites. Is there a solution? Please help me i like Firefox a whole lot.

    ''I don't have problems playing videos but with the new version I cant cycle through tabs with Ctrl+(Shift)+Tab once I click something inside the flash, even if I click outside the flash. The key functions vanish (tab-key cycles inside the flash through pause, volume, full screen button etc.) and the only way to change tab is with the mouse, which I don't like.''
    Hi Raynover, was this with the Flash plugin or with native HTML5 video support? I think plugins have always captured keyboard input once you activate them, but I haven't tested with native HTML5 video.
