Skype blocks sound in flash

After I run skype I am unable to get sound out of flash (youtube, gmail chat notifications, etc).
I recently decided to branch out from my simple openbox setup and I'm still a bit lost in kde. I've read multiple threads and have tried both phonon-mplayer and phonon-xine, currently using alsa. Any ideas?

Is it the case of http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/All … Play_Sound or it's just Skype misbehaving?

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.

[SOLVED] Skype notification sound breaks sound in totem

The problem is as follows:
When skype plays his notification sound, sound volume in totem is going down to zero. When skype notification sound is finished, totem volume is back. I can distinctly see this process in the last tab of gnome sound settings.
I use the following softwate:
# pacman -Qqs alsa
alsa-lib
alsa-plugins
alsa-utils
gnome-alsamixer
lib32-alsa-lib
lib32-alsa-plugins
pulseaudio-alsa
# pacman -Qqs gstreamer
clutter-gst
gnome-video-effects
gstreamer0.10
gstreamer0.10-bad
gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins
gstreamer0.10-base
gstreamer0.10-base-plugins
gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
gstreamer0.10-good
gstreamer0.10-good-plugins
gstreamer0.10-ugly
gstreamer0.10-ugly-plugins
perl-gstreamer
totem
# pacman -Qqs pulse
lib32-libpulse
libao
libcanberra-pulse
libpulse
pulseaudio
pulseaudio-alsa
I have no extra configurations for any of this packages. All packages are up to date.
The problem is only between skype and totem. Skype doesnt conflict with gmusicbrowser, flash players.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have actually the same problem, but apparently pulseaudio has changed since the last solution above because my file /etc/pulse/default.pa is not the same.
There is no longer module-cork-music-on-phone module, and load-module module-role-cork is already commented out.
Does someone have the same issue? Is there another solution?
Thanks in advance!

[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 Player, using Ubuntu 10.04

As the title says, there is no sound in Flash Player.
I have:
flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound 0.0.svn2431-3

flashplugin-installer
I also have gnash, klash, swfdec and some others.
Could you help me?

I switched to OSS, and it got fixed.

No sound in Flash applications like Youtube and Zynga-Frontierville. (Win7, ff 5.1, AdobeFlash 10.3.181.34)

I get no sound in Flash applications like Youtube and Zynga-Frontierville. Video is fine.

I'm not sure how related is this with the thing that happened to me but here it goes.
A while ago I couldn't have two applications that can use the audio channels at the same time. For instance, if I had a paused movie with VLC I could play a video on YouTube but with no sound. Is that your case? Or it doesn't work at all?

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

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:

If you are having a problem specifically with Adobe Flash Player, you need to contact Adobe.

Skype blocks Account after sign into Skype Manager

After years of using skype without a problem and being happy with it, following happened:
1) my account "kpaessler" was blocked a few hours after I signed into Skype manager. Both the skype account and the Manager was blocked. The answer to my inquiry was that Skype suspects incorrect use of the account.
So far no refund on credits (about 60EUR) and dial in number.
2) To get things going, I used another Skype account of mine "nuessering" to sign into Manager again. Could purchase a 3 months dial in number. Some hours later the Manager was blocked. The Skype account seems to work for skype to skype but Skype blocked the possibility to purchase a Skype in number or to by credit.
The purchase of the dial in number of the second account was refunded.
Both accounts are connected with same e-mail adress of mine.
What is going on? Has Manager a big problem?
My "kpaessler" acount has all my adresses and the dial and most important the call forwarding. This is very important to me.
How to get my this account back to be unblocked?
Thank you for any help.

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!

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.

Skype ring sound comes from earpiece

Hi everyone,
On my Nexus 5, when the phone is locked, skype ringing sound comes through the earpiece instead of the loud speaker. Most of the times I am missing calls because of this. Any solution for this?
Skype Version: 5.0.0.52727

Hi, I had the same problem and now i fixed it.
I am using Sony M2 aqua with sony smartwatch that means my bluetooth is always on. You should change the mood of Bluetooth from your skype. When you are calling someone from skype (when it is ringing), Bluetooth icon will appear right beside of camera and mic icons. Then you should tap it and change the icon to out load mood icon. It will work out again and you can hear call from speaker on the bottom. I crosschecked with receive and dealing calls while Bluetooth was off, it was working too.

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.

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
