No sound in flash....(firefox)

it seems I have no sound with flash. though flash does work and so does my sound (I tested it with the front and center thing)
I think I know what the issue is however. See the sound card I use is my pci card but by default the pc uses my integraded sound (which doesnt work....) so I set my pci card load by default and everything works fine but flash...I think that is becuase flash loads the intel (integaded) drivers....
I had this issue before when I was new to linux in ubuntu and I solved it be reinstalling only the drivers for my ens1370 card (the pci card) and then everything worked fine but I cant seem to recreate that in arch
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449
I followed that guide in ubuntu. Specifly that parts on making the pci card the default in modprobe.d
and uninstalling the default drivers and reinstalling the divers for my pci card...
also I Looked at alsa in the wiki and nothing there seemed to be related reinstalling drivers..

Welcome to forums.
Since ALSA is a kernel module now, there's no installing drivers anymore. One way to get rid of your on-board sound card now is to blacklist the modules that it used in the MODULES array in /etc/rc.conf.

[SOLVED] No sound (with flash)

Hello.
I have no sound with flash. It does work elsewhere.
I am using ALSA.
My flash should output audio correctly according to wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fl … d_in_Flash

Orrrr it's because the flash plugin uses OSS.
run `aoss firefox` and be happy.
OSS does still work or at least the alsa backwards compatibility layer that emulates the old interfaces, right? did i miss anything?
for newer versions of flash (like version 9) simply install firefox in wine and let it install the plugin. that usually works great!

No sound in flash-related videos since I updated my browser and flash.

I updated my browser and flash. Before this I had no problems whatsoever with sound in flash videos. I was watching them just fine and then I installed the updates, and all of a sudden flash vids play fine, but have no volume. I tried adjusting the mixer volume on my system tray and nothing. I don't want to go uninstalling and reinstalling and losing years of settings because somebody couldn't code flash properly.
HELP!!!!!!!
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== Today when I updated Firefox to version 3.6.4 and got the flash update of version 10.1.53.64

Hello C.
Hopefully this support article is what you need:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+the+Flash+plugin
If you are having a problem specifically with Adobe Flash Player, you need to contact Adobe.

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!

Why not my laptop can't to pronounce the sound,but flash player can?

VLC plugs directly into pulseaudio, while the firefox flash plugin uses ALSA to play sound. Do you have the pulseaudio-alsa package installed?
I have had a similar problem before. Sound would occasionally be controlled by ALSA and occasionally be controlled by pulse (the pulseaudio-alsa package did nothing). As far as symptoms, sometimes other applications would not produce sound while a flash video was playing and vice versa. Ultimately, I just removed everything pulse/ALSA-related, deleted (and backed up) my configuration files, and installed all related packages anew. It works now. I still don't really know what the problem was.

Almost no sound in flash

Hi
I've spend the last couple of days, almost nonstop searching the web for a solution for this. Tryed possible solution i found, but no luck so far.
I got perfect sound in any application, game, media player etc. But neither in internet explorer nor firefox when viewing online videos (youtube, xfire etc) do i get much sound.
At first i thought there was no sound at all, but when i crank up the speaker system to max i can hear a little (but if i do anything else with sound i get blasted away).
I've tryed registy fixes, checking if files where there, installing K-lite codec pack to fix regestry issues, uninstalled flash lots of times, rebooted before reinstalling, clearing temp internet files folder etc. Nothing helps.
I got the feeling that some stupid website somehow has changed a setting somewhere for flash, making sound almost unhearable, but i dunno how i can fix this.
As said, i searched and tryed all, but im lost now.
win xp pro (auto updating)
firefox (auto updating)
ie (guess its uptodate from windows updates, only use it if something doesnt work in FF)
onboard realtek hd sound card.
but as said, everywhere else its fine, just not playing sound in flash based videos.
noticed this first like 3-4 weeks ago, but figuered the videos i tryed to watch where broken or had no sound. Now i know its just my flash that has no volume set somehow.
oh, ofcourse i checked everysingle soundcard volume controler and mute box already.
any help will be appriciated.
- Bohs

since noone here cares, i've been trying everything in my powers to get this solved, and i might be a step closer, yet very far away, as i can not fix whats wrong.
What seems to be wrong is the DirectSound, atleast when i enter dxdiag and test sound there, its extremly silent too, i tryed changing all acceleration features to see if that helps, both in dxdiag and my sound options, that only makes everything worse.
however my DirectMusic works fine in normal volume.
But since microsoft is so ****** up on "there stuff", i can not even uninstall and reinstall directx .. i found two fixes on the net that should do this and thereby reinstall whatever is default with XP, but they just totally fock up your system, and you cant do anything without system restore. You can not even choose it from the XP installation cd ...
i got the latest (9.0c 4.09.0000.0904) version, so i can not update it with a newer ... how do i fix this? its just weird to me that no other application nor game is affected by this - only flash - they all use directx (well Prototype is a little affected, but that seems to be a game problem according to there forums http://forums.activision.com/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=1788 ).
and please dont tell me to update my audio drivers, cause there aint any newer aviable, and i have tryed reinstalling them several times.

No sound in flash. Sound working otherwise.

Hey all, suilenroc here. With the recent advent of some high-quality Creative Drivers for my X-Fi card, I've been able to enjoy some great audio from my Exaile media player. However, sound from flash in firefox is still not forthcoming. Does anyone know how to fix this? And does anyone know how to install flash-10? For some reason, I just can't figure out how to uninstall flash 9 and install the latest version.
Thanks! -suilenroc

Okay, let's switch this up. Suilenroc's brother here. For the sake of convenience, just call me Suilenroc.
So I've been using Linux for about a year now, I used to use Gentoo and moved to Arch. My bro got a creative X-Fi card a while back when we was on windows, and now switched full time to Linux because of the new sound drivers. What I just can't figure out though, if how to get the sound working on his firefox installation. I don't know whether it's a firefox issue or a flash issue, specifically.
I've install the x-fi drivers, and am using ALSA for them, obviously. My brother doesn't know which VERSION of Arch he's using, x86 or x86_64, but it is, most definitely, arch.
Now, I don't, myself, remember the pacman command for installing flash 10 either, and I can't seem to find it via google. From what my brother told me, he installed nspluginwrapper and nspluginwrapper-flash, and linked it to his firefox by following a tutorial. This got flash VIDEO to work, but the audio is not being output through the x-fi card or the x-fi drivers.
Sorry for the earlier posts, I'll be taking over on this issue from here. (I've told the little guy to not get me involved unless he absolutely cannot figure the problem out himself. Well, now's one of those times. Thanks for bearing with him earlier, you can deal with me now. I know a bit more than he does when it comes to Linux.)

No Sound In Flash Applications

Hello.
So, about 3 month ago or later, adobe had announced the new version of ADOBE FLASH PLAYER, i think it was 10.1. When i updated my flash player to version 10.1, my sound in my browser (im using MOZILLA FIREFOX) had gone. I cant hear any sound in youtube, i cant hear any sound in flash games, but video goes normal. I have searching reason for a long time. I have found many sollutions, and i have tryed all of them on my pc. Im a power user in computer, im not a begginer, but i cant solve this problem. Now i got Windows XP, SP3, and installed adobe flash player of version 10.1.82.76. Maybe some one can help me???

Hi eidnolb,
You are certainly right about resolving audio issues.
Actually you pointed me in the right direction when you told NoviceGG to go to administrative tools. While in the control panel I decided to check out QT first. I am not a big fan of QT and rarely use it but others in my house like to use iTunes for their iPods and QT comes bundled in the download. At any rate, iTunes was updated and along with it came an update for QT. I think someone downloaded an .flv file and when they played it with QT it set the streaming video default to QT. At least that is what I believe happened, although I am not 100% certain. I don't think QT was automatically set as the default streaming video player when it was downloaded but that is a possibility also.
I had no audio for any streaming video in any browser, FF, Chrome, and IE. Video was fine in all three.
Somehow QT gets it's own Control Panel category. Which is actually only QT preferences. Seven tabs across the top: Register; Audio; Browser; Update; Streaming; File Types; Advanced.
The first tab I clicked was the Audio tab. But that is more of a device manager and you can select bit rate, channels, and size (8 bit, 16 bit, or 24 bit). I realized that wasn't it then went to the Streaming tab and that deals with connection speeds, delays, and an instant-on option. Not it either. So I hit the File types tab and it reads; 'Select the file types for which you want QuickTime player to be the
default player.' Top box; Streaming-Streaming movies was checked. These are expandable boxes (with the + to show more specific file types). Seven expandable boxes to check or uncheck:
Streaming-Streaming movies;
Video-Video only and video with audio file formats;
Audio-Audio only file formats;
MPEG-MPEG system, video and audiofiles;
MP3-MPEG Layer III movies and streams;
Images-Simage files
Miscellaneous-Miscellaneous file formats
I unchecked the top box the tested it and that was it. I thank you very much for pointing to the control panel. You are a very helpful member of the forum.
I actually just now joined so I could share my discovery with NoviceGG.
I hope this helps you out with your knowledge base a little eidnolb.
Thanks again!

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.

[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!

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 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!

No sound with Flash Player under OSS in Linux

Flash 9 & Flash10 under OSS 4.1 with Opera or Firefox.
No sound at all on any flash using website. Websites such as
the BBC that have some content in RealAudio or Windows Media
formats work absolutely fine for non-Adobe content but Flash player
content produces no sound.
All other audio software works flawlessly - Skype, Real
Player, Mplayer, Kaffeine, Wine, Games (ETQW, Doom3 etc), Helix,
RhythmBox, Rosegarden.
Whatever the fault is, it's an Adobe fault - fix it.

Ditto with me. No sound with Flash Player in both IE and
Firefox. Sound works with other applications.

No sound with Flash 11.3 - Sound card conflict?

After updating to Flash 11.3 (11.3.300.257) on a Dell desktop on April 10 there was no sound in Firefox, Chrome or Safari. There was sound in Internet Explorer (IE9). I think I have determined that the source of my sound problems was some kind of conflict between Flash 11.3, my sound card and the three browsers above. My sound card is a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE.
If audio was output through the Dell's built-in sound there was sound with Flash 11.3. If audio was output through the sound card there was no sound with Flash 11.3.
I also have an HP notebook computer (no sound card; HP says current notebooks use built-in sound) running Windows 7 (64). I downloaded Flash 11.3 from: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ on April 16 and have sound on Firefox, IE9, Chrome and Safari.
There have, however, been two crashes reported on Firefox.
On two computers my experience has been that if audio is being output through the computer's built-in sound that sound works all right in Flash 11.3 .
If you are having problems with sound in Flash 11.3 please describe the problems, system information and details about any sound card you are using.
Maybe the good people at Adobe will provide some guidance about what information they would like to see here.

Here are more details in case these might help users or the Adobe team.
Prior to updating to Flash 11.3 I had 11.2 on Windows Vista (32) on a Dell E510 desktop with external speakers connected to the sound card. There were never any problems with sound with Flash 11.2 or previous versions. Drivers on the sound card are up to date.
I filed a bug report about the sound issues on April 11, number 3210981.
Also, there are 15 crash reports on my Firefox browser from April 10 to 14 (accessed by typing "about:crashes" in the address bar) .
I reverted to Flash 10.3 on April 14 and there was sound in IE, Firefox and Safari. There was no sound in Chrome which had automatically updated to Flash 11.3
On April 17 I did an experiment.
When external speakers were connected to the Sound Blaster Audigy sound card (and the sound control panel was set to "Speakers SB Audigy") there was no sound in Chrome (Flash 11.3).
When the speakers were connected to the computer's built-in sound output (and the sound control panel was set to the computer's built-in audio, "Speakers SigmaTel...") there was sound in Chrome (Flash 11.3). Note: restart may be required for changes in the sound control panel to take effect.
There was sound in Firefox with Flash 10.3 with either configuration.
Finally, I physically removed the sound card and connected the speakers to the computer's built-in output. (I probably didn't need to physically remove the sound card but I wanted to anyway.) I updated to Flash 11.3 and now I have sound in Firefox, IE9, Chrome and Safari.
It remains to be seen if there will still be crashes on Firefox.

No sound with Flash Player (on line only) on Vista

No sound with Flash Player on both IE and Firefox online
only, on Vista.
On local hard disk, all is OK.
The firefox "about:cache" command on the mp3 file info says :
Data size: 0 and in IE it's the same
Thanks

Ditto with me. No sound with Flash Player in both IE and
Firefox. Sound works with other applications.

No sound in flash....(firefox)
