No sound in Flash after Rhythmbox

(I am fully aware there are over 9000 threads about Sound in Flash, however, many of them are 64-bit issues, or they aren't similar enough to my issue to work.)
Running 32-bit Arch on a Sony Viao VGN-CR507E (Sound card is Intel, along with 90% of other hardware)
Using Alsa & Pulseaudio. For some reason, I seem to need both. Just -Syu'ed.
Have installed: (pacman -Qe | grep -i pulse; pacman -Qe | grep -i alsa)
alsa-oss 1.0.17-2
alsa-plugins 1.0.24-3
alsa-utils 1.0.24.2-3
pulseaudio 1.1-1
pulseaudio-alsa 1-2
If I play a Flash video in any browser before loading and playing music with Rhythmbox, sound works just fine.
If I listen to music using Rhythmbox first, Flash's sound is nonexistent, and no combination of mixer settings lets sound play.
This seems to possibly be a Rhythmbox issue, as Flash's sound works fine after using Audacious.
A flash video played in VLC seems to be unaffected by this.
(I'm switching to Audacious as a temporary fix until this is truly solved.)

I assume you already did this? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pu … #GStreamer

No sound in Flash after resuming from suspend

After I resume from a suspend or sleep there is no sound in Flash and there is no networking.
The only way is to restart my browser to reestablish the sound.
Is there a solution for this problem?
Thanks.

This does not happen with Firefox in Ubuntu, as an example. So something must be wrong somewhere.
I can confirm this happens to me in Arch with Firefox 4.0b7 and Chromium 7.0.517.44. I noticed that after resuming from suspend, not only sound (in Flash) is missing, but Flash is behaving weirdly (YouTube video plays much faster) and CPU usage goes crazy without doing any particular action.

No sound in flash after resume from suspend (linux debian)

Using 10.0.r42, iceweael and linux 2.6.32 kernel.
If I close the lid on my HP laptop which causes it to suspend, and the resume from suspend, other audio playing programs work, but I cant get any sound from iceweasel/flash until I kill all instances of iceweasel and restart the web browser.
Is this a bug that is tied to flash?

What a coincidence, mine is also from scratch.
Good question about how sound is handled. ldd libflashplayer.so doen't give an answer.
So somehow xulrunner can catch the sound.
Libxpcom is linked to libasound. components/libmozgnome.so to libesd in my case.
Maybe you can try fuser /dev/snd/* to identify which process is locking the device.

Sometimes no sound in flash videos after boot?

Sometimes after I boot up the machine, I get no sound in flash videos. First I didn't know why it was happening, but as I read a few articles here on forum, I found out it was because of my USB webcam (logitech) - alsa was messing something up and didn't know how to handle sound drivers well (so they say). So one of the suggestions I found was to force the (in my case) snd_hda_intel module load before snd_usb_audio module during the boot process. I thought it worked, but after a while the same problem appeared again. If I just unplug the webcam from my computer, sound works perfectly on each boot, but I don't want to get down and insart the cam everytime I need it... Anyone have any suggestions what I should try to fix this? If I need to provide more information - please tell, and I'll provide it, just say which and how.
thanks

Oh God, this again.

Save it as missing.reg (Make sure you include the Windows
Regestry Editor Version 5.00 line) and then double click on the
saved file to import it into your regestry and hey presto, you now
get sound of flash content. You may have to reedit your sound
scheme when you have finnished but at least flash content now works
properly.
Now, I can't hear sound at all and my computer refuses to
play CD's, iTunes, Windows Media Player, etc. Under 'sounds and
audio devices', it says that it can't find the location of my audio
codecs, legacy audio drivers, media control devices, legacy video
capture devices, and video codecs. Someone please help!! I'm going
crazy!!!

oh i forgot to say that i have windows xp and my browser is
firefox.

No sound in firefox after upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04

no sound in firefox after upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04. Youtube and Vimeo are both affected. Have sound in Banshee and MPlayer.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After latest upgrade to 10.04

Sorry, can't help you much with Ubuntu issues, I am a new Ubuntu user myself; except that you have two versions of Flash appearing in your Plugins Installed listing. Not sure if it will solve that particular problem, but you need to delete the Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124 version.

No Sound with Flash 10

Hi,
I'm back with a new problem. On a Gateway laptop running Windows XP, I have no sound with Flash. Sounds are coming through on Media player and with web sites home page. When I play a you tube vid or email vid there is no sound? ????
Thanks for your help.

I did the ten step codec cleaning, I think you posted that originally if not
I'll dig up the link, sorry I'm at work. After that I ran malwarebytes (no
malware), then I accessed the audio properties under the control panel and
monkeyed with them, they'd been changed to modem#0 from my normal semantec
harware. I changed that and rebooted and everything was seemingly okay.
However, the little speaker icon had disappeared from the tray about the
same time my audio problems had started and has never returned so there may
be deeper issues.
Here<http://www.codecguide.com/fix_for_flash_sound_problems.htm> is
the codec link I was referring to. Hope this helps. D

Crackling/substandard sound in flash videos (YouTube etc) regardless of video quality setting.

Hi all,
I hope you can help! Apologies if this is in the wrong forum, I'm struggling to find the best place to put this.
1. a summary of your issue
Crackling/substandard sound in flash videos (YouTube etc) regardless of video quality setting.
2. the type of computer you use—Mac or PC?
Desktop PC.
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, all updates installed.
3. steps you've already taken to troubleshoot
The problem occurs after installing Adobe Flash Player 15 Plugin to any browser (I mainly use FireFox). It's listed as Adobe Flash Player 15 ActiveX when I installed it for Internet Explorer.
Before installing it, I can hear the videos fine but I am limited to a maximum of 720p quality on YouTube.
I removed my sound and graphics drivers, after restart Windows 7 decides it will install them again but as the generic/universal ones. No change.
I've heard that because I have the Windows Aero theme activated, I need to disable hardware acceleration - tried this in various ways:
a) Generic PnP monitor Troubleshoot tab - Change Settings button is greyed out (whether or not I have the real/generic/universal graphics drivers installed). Can't find a way through nVidia control panel to do this either.
b) Disabled hardware acceleration in FireFox - no change.
c) Found on your forum here that I can go to a page which will check my Flash version, in theory I could right-click it, hit Settings and disable hardware acceleration there - no "Settings" option in right-click menu. Seems the page has changed.
I can't seem to find a way to interface with Flash directly to disable hardware accelerattion - if this is indeed the solution.
Regardless of Windows Aero theme, I've got it on basic theme now and still the same problem.
I recently reformatted and re-installed my PC, it was working fine before I did this (maybe I had an old Flash release installed?).
I'm at my wit's end... please help!

Sorry, it's all sorted now. After re-installing the sound drivers, decided to tinker with the settings one by one. I had my Creative sound card in Game Mode, thus it was assuming 2.1 speakers aka headphones. Put it in Entertainment Mode and it recognised all the 5.1 speakers for flash videos. Doh!

No Sound in Flash Player for PC

I have a PC and I have a problem with Flash Player 8. When I

someone help me please?

No sound in flash videos

I would like to say that I am not a native speaker and English is my second language.
Well, back to the topic. Sometimes safari stop playing sounds in flash videos. Its annoying because the only solution I found is to quit safari, start garage band, quit garage band and start safari again. After some research I found out that there is something wrong with sound frequency in preferences. Is there a permanent solution for this?

MIDI setup is set correct.
I did restart my computer. I know how to fix the issue. But I am sick of neverending Garage Band solving. Is there any pernament solution?

[solved] Sound in flash stopped working (alsa, x86_64, rate)

Why?
Sound in flash stopped working (alsa, firefox, x86_64). Tried flashplugin-prerelease from archlinuxfr: nothing different.
Everything worked before I rebooted. I changed nothing else since last reboot. Can't figure out what happened.
Updates among other things:
firefox, xulrunner (firefox I did restart - the new one had sound in flash before I rebooted)
openal, lib32openal (don't think that has anything to do with it?)
libsndfile (that's something entirely different, too, right?)
And a lot of others that don't look related... no Idea how many really, I haven't rebooted in quite a while. Maybe there even was a kernel update since last reboot. Or two.
edit: Also some interactive flash stuff that did work before has stopped working now.
edit2: Chromium doesn't have sound in flash either. Tried recompiling firefox / switching to AUR/firefox-pgo: no change. Everywhere else, sound is working fine. Also, several flash games I tried get stuck / freeze after intro.
Thx!

Couldn't find any changes there:
I LC_ALL=C aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****

Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: AD198x Digital [AD198x Digital]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
I tried the multilib version and the x86_64 prerelease. Both did work perfectly fine before I rebooted (I tried which one works better recently and couldn't see any real difference). Didn't have trouble with flash for months before this reboot.
I found a few modules I was unfamilliar with were loaded:
snd_seq_os snd_seq_dummy snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq snd_seq_device
... and removed them with rmmod. No change. (I should have restarted alsa at that point I guess just to make sure, those weren't the problem?)
Then I changed the rate in asound.conf to 41000 and restarted alsa - now everything works again! Strangely, no more freezes too (those were reliable).
I remember having had problems with flash not having sound unless I set the rate to 41000 about a year ago. After some updates, I tried again and all rates supported by my sound-card seemed to work. My guess would be regression in whatever fixed that problem... but I don't know.
I'll leave that "unsolved" until I manage to figure out what it really was about.

No Sound with Flash Player 10

Hi,
I started having this problem last week. A lot of sites with embedded video players play without sound for me (youtube, etc.). This doesn't happen every time and I've found that it happens most often when I set the video to play in HD(720). Sometimes I'll hear sharp sreeches or cherps instead of sound. Sometimes, after waiting 5 mins and trying to play the video over and over, it will suddenly start working.
I'm running in Winodows XP s.p. 3 32 bit and my broswer is firefox, though I don't believe it works in chrome either.
What I've tried:
Reinstalling firefox
Reinstalling flash player 10
Changing my speakers settings to 2/2.1 speakers.
Installing flash player 9
I've had the most success unintalling flash player 10 and installing flash player 9. All my sound issues are fixed! However, now I cannot play video at all on some sites, because they require flash player 10!
I'll looked on the internet, but noone seems to know how to fix this, please help.

No Sound with Flash Player 9 on ubuntu 7.10

I hear no sound when I play back flash clips on my ubuntu 32
bit 7.10, using Flash Player 9.0 r48. I downgraded to version 7 and
had sound, only to find that the 7 version has a known bug where
audio/video get unsynchronized after some time. Now I am back using
current 9.0 r48, and have no sound at all.
Any hint?

Thanks for your responses twiistedkaos & mouse256. I launched firefox from the command line, but no error messages were received when viewing flash content. Also, I do not have additional flash support installed (only the latest flash plugin from the extra repository).
I am loading modules snd_emu10k1 and snd_pcm_oss in rc.conf. If I remove (do not load) snd_emu10k1, then I get sound from flash, but no sound from media or games. When I load snd_emu10k1, then I have sound in media and games, but no sound from flash.
This has turned out to be an alsa configuration issue. My flash 9 sound is fine now.

No Sound with Flash Player 9

Hello,
After installing Flash Player 9 (extra/flashplugin 9.0.31.0-1), I get no sound when viewing flash content. I have verified this against multiple web sites. I can view the flash video with no problems.
The sound on my previous flash version was fine. Also, the sound on my other applications (multimedia and games) still works fine. My alsa configuration has not changed (to the best of my knowledge).
Any help would be appreciated!
