[SOLVED] No sound with Chromium, libpepflashplayer problem.

Question

Hi,
I had problem with no sound in Chromium when using the flashplayer, but it all worked in Firefox.
The problem was the chromium-pepper-flash player that I used as described in the Wiki.
with that player I get following message when starting Chromium:
ALSA lib setup.c:565:(add_elem) Cannot obtain info for CTL elem (MIXER,'Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack',0,0,0): No such file or directory
But if I use:
Shockwave Flash
Version:    11.2 r202
Location:    /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
Type:    NPAPI
I got sound ok, unfortunately the player crach much more often, something that was the reason I changed to  chromium-pepper-flash player
Any ides why I do not get sound in Chromium with chromium-pepper-flash player?
Best regards.
Christer

Answer 1

To share my findings.
The problem was a the settings in asound.conf.
My old "asound.conf."
# conver alsa API over jack API
# use it with
# % aplay foo.wav
# use this as default
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave { pcm "jack" }
ctl.mixer0 {
type hw
card 1
# pcm type jack
pcm.jack {
type jack
playback_ports {
0 system:playback_1
1 system:playback_2
capture_ports {
0 system:capture_1
1 system:capture_2
Left since I was playing around wirh PureData and Jack.
All my outher audio apps like mpd, xbmc worked just finde with this one but not libpepflashplayer.
My new asound.conf
# use this as default
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 0
ctl.mixer0 {
type hw
card 0
With the new one also libpepflashplayer works OK.
Using libflashplayer was a very bad option for me because it crash so often. libpepflashplayer much more stable for me.
All the best.
