[SOLVED]flash repo no sound

I can not seem to get sound to work with flash, video plays fine.
I have searched the forums for a fix and I have not come across one that has worked.
Sound does work with Amarok.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

This is a laptop with built in audio, so no external device.
Just in case: if you use oss4, you need flashpluginsupport-oss
Installed libflashsupport for oss support but no dice.
What config file does flash use to find sound devices or exactly how does flash no what device to use.

  • Importing flash files (with sound!) can it be done?

    Hi!
    I sucessfully importing a flash file but im not sure if the sound has imported with it, does anyone know if I can import a flash file with sounds or do I have to import the sound seperatly?
    Helen

    Helen,
    After Effects can import .SWF files but unfortunately it does not recognize the audio in a .SWF file.
    If it helps, AE can import .FLV files and it WILL recognize the audio in them.

    Hi,
    I successfully solved problem with no sound at all (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=31960), but still have no sound in my headphones. When I plug them in, laptop speakers get muted, but headphones play no sound. I'm using KMix to control volume.

    Hi,
    what you mean by that "sense" word? Or what it means... Theres that yellow led above... It's turned on, I double checked all of that. Plugging headphones in just mutes speakers. Whats going on? I need to use skype and without headphones its bit annoying... Could it be something with snd_hda_intel module's model option?
    If only certain aspects of your hardware work, e.g. the headphones but not line out, then you can try passing the model argument:
    modprobe snd_hda_intel model=asus
    I've got exactly the opposite .

  • [SOLVED] FLASH and Mplayer automatic fasforward playing with no sound

    Hi,
    This has been the second time it happened.
    When I was playing some video at the background with SMplayer. All in a sudden, the playing stopped. I closed and restarted it:
    last time: the video  fast-forwarded automatically without any sound, same problem with VLC;  [the problem got "fixed" only after I rebooted my host Window 7; restarting the archlinux guest didn't help.]
    this time: VLC (there was an update in between) can play at a normal speed, but still no sound; as for smplayer, no sound, fastforwading automatically.
    And, in both times, flash in firefox fast-forwarded automatically with no sound.
    I have Archlinux/Xfce4 in virtualbox hosted by Windows 7. I have been using it for about one month. The problem occurred in last two days.
    Thanks,

  • [Solved] Flash No Sound In Browser

    Hi All,
    Having problems getting audio from any flash video. I am currently running 64 bit arch (3.5.4-1-ARCH). I have ALSA installed and working. I listen to Amarok for radio and mplayer to watch movies.
    I have my .asoundrc with this
    pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
    ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
    Output of aplay -l
    **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****

    Subdevices: 1/1
    Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
    In Phonon all the devices are set to the sound card and verified testing (via test button). Still sounds doesn't work with any flash application in Chromium or FF. Upon running either of them from the command line I don't see any error.
    I was afraid that another program grabbed the sound devices so I rebooted the desktop and first thing opened is FF and still no sound. YES I did make sure every thing is unmutted (fell for that in the past   )
    Also to add I am running Xmonad as windows manager so no Gnome or KDE desktop.
    Update: Updated arch and still no change. Seems like Flash to using wrong sounds device but I don't know how else to force other than asoundrc
    Any ideas?

    I can try a couple of reboot and reinstall flash plugin but it looks like they never quite fixed it nor found the cause. The problem just doesn't add up. Will post back with results.
    Update: Reinstalling flash/rebooting several times didn't fix anything

  • [solved] 2 sounddevices - no sound in flash or no microphone

    I have installed an USB-Soundcard and an USB-Webcam. The problem is, if the webcam is pluged in. The system recognize the soundcard as second device.
    **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
    card 0: Camera [Camera], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
    Subdevices: 1/1
    Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
    card 1: Device [Kenwood Audio Device], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
    Subdevices: 1/1
    Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
    So,if i try to watch for example videos on YouTube i don´t have sound, an this error-message in the terminal:
    ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:864:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
    If i start the system without the camera plugged-in i have sound. So i created an "/etc/asound.conf" as explained in the wiki, and modified it.
    #/etc/asound.conf start:
    pcm.!default {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "dmixer"
    pcm.dsp0 {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "dmixer"
    pcm.dmixer {
    type dmix
    ipc_key 1024
    slave {
    pcm "hw:1,0"
    period_time 0
    period_size 1024
    buffer_size 8192
    rate 44100
    bindings {
    0 0
    1 1
    ctl.dmixer {
    type hw
    card 1
    #end.
    After doing this i had sound. But the microphone doesn´t work anymore, and i get the following error-message.
    ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:803:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) The dmix plugin supports only playback stream
    Does anyone has an idea how to fix this? Maybe its possible to set the the second card as standart-output or to change the order: Soundcard = Card 0 /  Webcam = Card1.
    Last edited by stonerl (2007-05-30 06:51:40)

    To set the order of my two soundcards I've added to modprobe.conf those lines:
    alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
    alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1
    alias snd-card-1 snd-intel8x0
    alias sound-slot-1 snd-intel8x0
    options snd-emu10k1 index=0
    options snd-intel8x0 index=1

  • [SOLVED] Flash conflicts with pulse

    A while ago, I posted this:
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=102976
    Basically, I couldn't play movies in totem or listen to music with rhythmbox or banshee. At the moment I thought it was simply a pulseaudio problem or misconfiguration, but it "fixed" itself so I closed that topic. However, I started experiencing this again, and now I know the reason. Flash doesn't play along well with pulse. I can't play simultaneosly sound with flash and anything else, and when I listen something with flash, I cant listen sound (or watch videos) anywhere else until I close the browser.
    Googling this, I found out that I need libflashsupport-pulse, which is present in AUR, but I can't install it because it requires flashplugin, which I haven't been able to find.
    I have nspluginwrapper-flash from AUR to provide flash.
    Anyone has this same issue? How can I solve it?
    Cheers!

    Everything you need to get flash working properly is in the repos, make sure you have the following packages installed (you will need to activate the multilib repo):
    pulseaudio, lib32-pulseaudio, alsa-lib, lib32-alsa-lib, alsa-plugins and lib32-alsa-plugins.
    Try using this /etc/asound.conf
    pcm.!default {
    type pulse
    ctl.!default {
    type pulse
    and everything should work fine, at least it works for me™.

  • QuickTime/Flash (*.swf) - no sound

    QuickTime Pro 7.1.6, Flash Player 9UB
    New problem. Everything copacetic until in middle of class, *.swf file embedded in Keynote presentation had no sound. Visual ok, but no sound when playing *.swf files. Even if just open *.swf file in QT, visual ok, sound missing. Same files will play fine in other applications, but not in QT. Everything works on non-Intel computers.
    Must have sound as use flash files extensively (embedded in Keynote presentations) for classroom. Please help. Monday morning is coming up quick time.
    BTW have installed Perian 1.0 to no avail.
    drdillo

    Problem solved in wee hours last night. Had accidentally deleted <com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist>. Hadn't discovered effect until middle of class, because hadn't rebooted until then.
    BTW, only time I use *.swf files is in Keynote. If the "Open with:" section of the Get Info panels is set to have all the flash files open in QT and then, in System Preferences/QT/Advanced, the "Enable Flash" property is checked everything works (now) fine.
    Thanks, folks. I'm set for Monday!

    I fixed it like this. I was sure the problem was not in hardware acceleration but in firefox since flash was working in opera. You can also try this and enable ha again
    The problem is in crash reporting in 3.6. More info on
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins#Disabling_crash_protection
    type about:config and change value from true into false for all dom.ipc.plugins values starting from this
    dom.ipc.plugins.enabled;false
    after that change value from 45 into -1 in
    dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs
    Problem solved. Thanks for the feedback!
    p.s
    Actually firefox keeps crashing when I enter this. Bummer..

  • [SOLVED]New Build, no sound, Alsa unable to open slave

    I've been happily using Arch on an old laptop I had lying around for 4/5  months, alongside ARM on my Raspberry Pi for a year or so. Being more than happy with it I decided to sell my 2011 i5 iMac, build a pc and hopefully learn something along the way. I mention this as it's my first build and the issue may be hardware realted, or more likely my assembly of the hardware, I've updated my sig to reflect the new parts.
    The first decision I made two days ago upon putting the system together. I had two plugs, one for HD audio, another for Realtek audio, I went with the HD option. The other variable that is new to me is an audio option in the Gigabyte uefi/bios for audio which has options for enabled, disabled & auto - I've tried all three. I thought at first going with HD option may have meant sound only via hdmi, I'm using an old vga monitor, but after a little reading it seems the HD option should work with the standard audio out's on the motherboard & case too.
    I've got a 3.5mm jack plugged into the line out on the back of the motherboard going to a phono connection on my stereo, I've also tried the headphone out on the front of the case, Zalman Z9.
    I've installed alsa-plugins and alsa-utils. Upon running speaker-test, or speaker-test -c 2 I'm getting:
    speaker-test -c 2
    speaker-test 1.0.27.2

    The above is all without any .asoundrc in my home directory or anything in /etc.modprobe.d/*.conf
    From the wiki I've tried putting
    options snd slots=snd_mia,snd_hda_intel
    options snd_mia index=0
    options snd_hda_intel index=1
    in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, and tried reversing the 1 and 0, both 0's, both 1's to no avail.
    I've tried a few variations in .asoundrc based on the wiki example with no luck.
    I'm lost, this is the first time I've had sound issues with linux and I'm really not sure if it's rooted in the hardware, my first attempt at building a pc or a simple alsa config issue.
    Googling for unable to open slave in alsa seems to bring up mainly conflicting programm issues whic I don't think is my issue as I have no sound at all.
    *edit*
    perhaps this should be in newbie corner? my linux sound knowledge is definitely newbie status.

    Solved, not sure where I was going wrong in my initial attempts but a simple .asoundrc has my speakers singing. Could have sworn this was tried to death in the first half hour or so, oh well.
    On the plus side I spent my lunch hour today getting a rough idea of sound on linux and alsa preparing for a fight with my new build, ten minutes after booting up the new machine on my return home & all is well.

  • How do I stop Flash from changing sound volume?

    I've got a sound in WAV format embedded in a FLA file which I intend to export into a SWC and instanciate in code.
    The sound is too loud! So I made it quieter by running "amplify" in Audition (I also tried Audacity) and setting it to something like -10db.
    The new sound is much quieter when I play it in Audition or windows media player, but when I embed it in a FLA and play it in the little previewer, it's as loud as the original. Same goes when I export it to the SWC. I thought I was going mad for awhile until I realized Flash must automatically normalize all sounds to a particular volume. But I can't find any references to this or any setting that stops it. Is this new in CC? Is it a bug?
    I thought I remember "Use Original Settings" being one of the choices for compression in CS6 but it seems to be gone. File size isn't an issue in this case, so is there some way to ask Flash not to mess with my wav files at all?
    Here are my two sounds and a fla showing them off:
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11786661/flash_normalizing_sound.zip

    Thanks for verifying that I'm not losing my mind Rob. I've reported the bug. This is only a test sound, so hopefully my sound engineer can fix the issue before production. If not I can build the swc using CS6, or as a final resort set the volume in the code.
    I have other quiet sounds that don't get mangled by Flash. As a test I opened those working sounds and this broken one in Audition and normalized them all to 0db. The working sounds seemed unchanged, but the broken one became loud. I don't understand why this is, but I assume Flash CC is doing something similar.

  • [Solved] Can't get sound to work proper

    Hey
    I use KDE4 with KMix. I have 5.1 Optical sound.
    When I enter Audio Setup in KMix and test the "hw: 0,1" option I get playback.
    But I haven't gottten any sound except that. Tried a video in MPlayer and Youtube video in Firefox.
    I'm still abit new to Arch and linux.
    Also tried adding
    ctl.equal {
    type equal;
    pcm.plugequal {
    type equal;
    # Modify the line below if you do not
    # want to use sound card 0.
    #slave.pcm "plughw:0,0";
    #by default we want to play from more sources at time:
    slave.pcm "plug:dmix";
    #pcm.equal {
    # Or if you want the equalizer to be your
    # default soundcard comment the following
    # line and uncomment the above line.
    pcm.!default {
    type plug;
    slave.pcm plugequal;
    pcm.eq {
    type ladspa
    # The output from the EQ can either go direct to a hardware device
    # (if you have a hardware mixer, e.g. SBLive/Audigy) or it can go
    # to the software mixer shown here.
    #slave.pcm "plughw:0,0"
    slave.pcm "plug:dmix"
    # Sometimes you may need to specify the path to the plugins,
    # especially if you have just installed them. Once you have logged
    # out/restarted this should not be necessary, but if you get errors
    # about being unable to find plugins, try uncommenting this.
    #path "/usr/lib/ladspa"
    plugins [
    label mbeq
    id 1197
    input {
    #this setting is here by example, edit to your own taste

    # your audio programs will break/crash if something has gone wrong.
    pcm.!default {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "eq"
    # Redirect the OSS emulation through the EQ too (when programs are running through "aoss")

    Did what you said. PCM was the only one muted.
    Oddly, I recently started having the opposite problem.  KDE startup and other systems sounds have stopped playing.  All my other sound (mplayer, flash, etc) work fine.  I can play the startup sound fine when opening it via dolphin.  It just doesn't play on startup, or any other system sound.  I know this happened after a recent update but I am not sure what or when caused it.  Startup sound isn't that important to me but fixing it is.  No luck so far.

  • Adobe Flash keeps crashing, sound doesn't work (speakers work fine) - done everything I can to fix, nothing works

    Yesterday I noticed on grooveshark (a site where you can stream music), it wasn't loading. everytime I would try and load it, the plugin shockwave flash would crash - sometimes, the site would load, but when i'd stream a song, no sound would play. Youtube videos can't play as well - the page freezes up before the video can load anything. I've tried downloading shockwave flash on mozilla to see if it's just a problem for chrome, but it's my entire computer. Nothing involving sound/adobe flash is working properly. I've spent hours researching on how to fix it - delete caches, disable hardware acceleration, etc. Nothing seems to be working. does anyone have any tips on what I can do to fix this?

    Thanks; it started working after I reboot twice anyways though (which is weird, but oh well I guess).  Hopefully it stays working this time (the funny thing is the sound never previously worked until I'd installed festival/done that muting and unmuting thing).  At least, it never played the startup sound for KDE (other sounds seemed to work, at a time anyways).
    I hate when problems just fix themselves, cuz then if you ever have them again you don't know what to do.
