[SOLVED] PulseAudio with Flash Issues

Hey everyone! It's my first time posting on the Arch Linux forums and I'm excited to be a part of the community I made the switch from Ubuntu after becoming frustrated with the way things were heading (I will spare you from my rant). Installation was a bit more involved than I expected but it was a rewarding experience and I had a lot of fun setting everything up; and I am pleased with the results. I have one last issue that I wasn't able to solve by using the excellent wiki... I have set up PulseAudio and it seems to not like it when I have Rhythmbox open and Chromium running a flash video at the same time. PulseAudio stops playing audio when I have a song playing on Rhythmbox and I pause it to watch a flash video (youtube, colbertnation.com, etc). The result is no audio being played from the flash video and if I resume playback from Rhythmbox, no audio is played. The only ways I can get audio to work again is by closing all applications that play audio (Chromium, Rhythmbox, etc), restarting PulseAudio by running "killall pulseaudio && pulseaudio" (I'm not sure if this is the proper way to do this) and then playing and then opening an audio file from the file browser, or rebooting the computer. I have looked through the wiki and the forums and I was not able to find anything that would help solve this problem. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Yes I did boast.
Okay so I looked around the forums a bit and tried blacklisting snd_pcm_oss in rc.conf, but I did not have any success. It seems to me that is not a chromium problem but a flashplugin problem... I haven't had much time to try the other suggestions in different threads, but I will post again when I do. Thanks for the help

[SOLVED]youtube and flash issue

So, I've got a flash issue that only happens on youtube. It looks like this:
It happens every time I open a browser (on both firefox and chrome) and goes away after refreshing the page, but its kinda annoying to refresh the page every time I wanna watch a video. Also when switching to fullscreen the video stays in software video rendering when it should switch to accelerated rendering so I get around 10 fps making the video unwatchable (this doesnt happen with windows on the same hardware).
Other flash websites like vimeo work fine and I can watch vimeo HD videos in fullscreen without any issue.
This started happening when youtube introduced the new black look of their player (it was all fine and dandy before), and its bothering me ever since so I'm now using flashvideoreplacer extension for firefox but I still want flash to work properly so I can use chrome again.
I'm using 64-bit arch, flashplugin from extra (getting the same effect with any other flashplugin from AUR) and EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode is set to 1 in /etc/adobe/mms.conf
Oh and I've tried this on Ubuntu live cd and controls work fine but accelerated video still doesnt work.
Any help would be appreciated.
SOLVED:Graphic problem is resolved after installing new version of flashplugin, but still no HW acceleration.

[SOLVED] Steam windows flashing, issues with overlay

I made a short video to demonstrate the problem here.
I am using the catalyst drivers (from Vi0L0's AUR), xorg 1.13
A similar issue occurs with smplayer and the video showing through other windows.
Any ideas? Thanks!
**EDIT**
So I re-read the catalyst install guide and it looks like xorg 1.14 is now supported. Deleted the reference to the 1.13 repository, installed, and it seems to be working. RTFM works!

Once you install xcompmgr you'll need to do two things:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-nvidia-composite-hotfix.conf
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
~/.xinitrc
...snip...
# Workaround For Hardware Accelerated Video Glitching On NVidia
hsetroot -solid "#000000" # Stops The Gray Background
xcompmgr -n &
# Start My Window Manager Of Choice
exec my_window_manager
Notes:
xcompmgr's -a flag is not entirely reliable and prone to kill rendering on a direct draw movement event (Eg the Steam info slide box or dragging an image in a browser.)
The hsetroot utility and line is only needed if you get a gray background/boarder when you start xcompmgr.
nvidia-settings by default disables composite features in it's XOrg config save. If you've used nvidia-settings and saved it's output (Eg. 20-nvidia.conf) you either need to change the extensions section to re-enable this, or just add this section in it's own high numbered config to override it. The latter is documented so that this fix is a module, reminding of its removal when/if this problem is fixed upstream.
Edit: I had it crash again while I was using no flags. I think I've now fixed it with the -n to enable transparency. Just know your millage may vary.
I'd go ahead and mark as solved if it works for you too Speedy Consoles.
If you're using lxdm, you should append this to
~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart
@hsetroot -solid "#000000"
@xcompmgr -n

I am having a very fustrating issue with flash

I am running flash in IE8 on a win 7 laptop with flash version 10.1 plugin. i can install it and it will run for a while. but once i restart my system or close my browser and start it up again.. it starts to crash. then the problem will migrate to my other browsers.( firefox and chrome) this has started happening since i upgraded to 10.1 from 9. whatever. and i cannot just re-install it to get it working again.. i have to shutdown all browsers. uninstall flash through the control panel reboot , then install , reboot then it MAY work. any help would be very appricated. the biggest culprit is facebooks flash app cityville. It is the one that is really causing this issue.

Hello BaoBae, Since no one knows what problem you had, since you didn't start a thread, it's difficult to offer your solution to others. Especially when you don't know what their problem is:-) There is no one fix.
Why go thru everything you have posted here, when the problem may be a simple turning off the hardware acceleration feature? This is just one example. Or how about an addon in the browser and disabling it and that is the solution?
Offering a solution before knowing the problem is having the cart before the horse and really isn't helpful.
You most likely know what your problem was, but no one else does that you are giving your solution to on the threads here.
If this solution solved whatever issue you were having, that's great. But it won't be for everyone, nor should it be.
Finding out the problem and then the solution is always the order:-)
Thanks,

Issue loading videos with flash.

Hi, how are you all doing? Maybe someone knows how to fix this .. flash sometimes (like once a day) instead of playing youtube videos or anything with flash right away (like usual) it waits until the whole video loads till playing it and the loading sing is the only thing i see. The only way I have right now to solve this issue is restarting the computer and it goes back to normal.
what could be?
I have flash 11,0,1,152 on windows xp sp3 and the issues goes on and every explorer (I've tried mozilla, opera, google chrome and IE.. and the same happens). but I use google chrome.

Try running the Bunny stage video here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/stagevideo.html
If it starts buffering, it means your graphics driver is probably not up to the job. An update might fix the problem.
You could maybe try running the videos in HTML5 instead of Flash to see if that makes any difference. To join, click the link underneath the buttons at: http://www.youtube.com/html5 (no forms to fill in). Go to the same site to leave the trial.

Are there known issues concerning double clicking in FF? We found bug 542068. Most of the issue we found have to do with Flash. Does it affect other applications (JSP/Javascript) too?

Are there known issues concerning double clicking in FF? We found bug 542068. Most of the issue we found have to do with Flash. Does it affect other applications (JSP/Javascript) too?

If there is a pattern of the application working up to Firefox 3.6.3 and not working starting with Firefox 3.6.4, there could be a problem with trying to communicate events between firefox.exe (which hosts pages) and plugin-container.exe (which hosts some plugins). You can tweak your settings to force plugins to run in firefox.exe to see whether this is the problem. This article has some background information on that:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
''Do you know if there are problems with Firefox 3.6 when you double click in a JSP/JAVA/Javascript application?''
No, I don't know. Obviously I can't read every post here, but I haven't read about it before.
Is it a stupid question to ask: why does that matter?? To fix the application to work in Firefox 3.6 and above, we need to see a page that works on other browsers and fails in Firefox. It doesn't need to be the whole application, just enough to demonstrate the problem so that if we solve it, then you can apply that learning back to your application.

Sollution to Firefox 3.6.8 issues with Flash 10.1.53.64 !!

Sollution to Firefox 3.6.8 issues with Flash 10.1.53.64 !!
Had the well known problem after upgrading to 3.6.8.
Found that many people had the same problem also.
After investigating A LOT about this one i've found that if you set, in about:config, the parameter " dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll " to FALSE it solves the problem !!
So...
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll == false

While I have not contacted Adobe, I am sure the answer will be don't use Firefox 3.6.8. ( The compliment to the answer you gave. It not Firefox that has the problem but Adobe.)
Since the only solution that I have seen is to disable the key reason to use Firefox 3.6.8 (crash protection) then the problem would appear to be in how Firefox as done the crash protection.

Soundcloud issue with Flash Player

OS: Windows 7 64 bit
Flash Version: 17.0.0.169
Browser: All browsers (IE, Firefox and Chrome)
When using Soundcloud (www.soundcloud.com), all content will fail to play. It does this consistently in a set of steps:
1. Click play. The content will attempt to play and then begin "loading" indefinitely
2. Click the play button again to pause. The content pauses and displays the normal "play" arrow. Site functions as normal
3. Hit play again. The play button will freeze in a deeper orange, as if it is being held down. At this point, regardless of the browser, further interaction with the site is impossible. Attempting to close the tab results in all tabs crashing and reloading on whichever browser was used.
The only consistent solution I've found to this problem is updating Flash, regardless of the fact that I am currently on the most recent version. After an update, the site works perfectly normally. This issue will happen randomly and persist across browsers and computer restarts until flash is "updated". I can only assume the problem is with flash.
EDIT: It is also worth noting that the problem is not exclusive to Soundcloud. While the issue with Soundcloud is persisting, Pandora will also fail to load content. While it is possible to interact with the site, the album covers that normally denote songs will not slide into the center of the screen or play music. This issue parallels the other and is also only solved with the reinstall of flash.
All other sites, such as Youtube, Vimeo and other flash-users work normally, even while the issue persists.

Hi REH,
You've reached the Adobe AIR forums, but I'd like to help you with this problem. I think the fastest way to go about this would be to do a desktop sharing session. Would you be willing to do that? If so, please contact me directly at [email protected]
Thanks,
Chris

Issues with Flash Pro CS5 on Mac

Hi,
I recently bought a MacBookPro 15", 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 and CS5 Creative Suite. Built in Intel HD Graphics and NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M.
Hi have some issues with Flash Pro:
- when objects on the stage are quite big (for example a 800x3000 movie clip), it start showing strange colors and wrong position, however when double clicking the movie clip to edit it, it looks correct. Also no problem when publishing. See images attached, the first one is correct, the second one shows the problem, when editing the mc in the 2nd image i get the third image that is correct.
Correct:
Wrong:
After entering editing mode:
- after a while, when making a change in the stage or in the time line (deleting frames for example), it doesn't show it immediately, but i need to refresh the page. This happens more when opening many fla in the same time. Closing and restarting Flash fixes it, for a while.
- after a while it doesn't show when selecting an object, the object looks like is not selected, however i can see that it is in the properties panel. This happens more when opening many fla in the same time. Closing and restarting Flash fixes it, for a while.
Hi have been using CS3 and CS4 with less powerful computers before (always mac) and i never encountered these issues.
Removing preferences and Application support files didn't help. I also updated Flash to v. 11.0.1, but no joy.
Does anyone know what's the problem?
Thanks a lot.
Mike

Based on some searching and testing, it seems that if you redirect ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash CS5 to a location on the local hard drive, rather than the network account storage, the problem ceases.
I hope this helps anyone else who may run into this problem.
Take care,
Branden

Having issues with Flash in Opera

I have been having issues getting videos to work in my browser. I use Opera and it will not load anything Flash related. It gives me an error telling me to install the latest version of flash despite the fact that i have the latest version. If i load IE it loads videos with no issues. I have tried searching to find an answer to this issue with no succes. Seems like it may be a problem with Opera but i cant find anything related. I run AVG antivirus and the scan is clean. I also ran Malwarebytes which came up clean as well so i dont believe it to be a virus or anything of the sort. Any help would be appreciated.

Issues with flash and other adobe products.

Ok, so i've been using flash player for quite a number of years now aswell as other products like acrobat reader when i used windows, over the years flash player has developed into a totally inneffecient and almost unusable product. on top of the security issues of past with flash player and especially acrobat reader, with remote code execution vulnerabilities, i have, as have thousands of others noticed a very large decrease in performance with flash.
i should note that a year or two ago, i could play HD flash content no problem, both 720 and 1080 resolutions, full screen without any issue. i would expect it to take up a decent portion of cpu cycles, which it did, i use to be able to run flash content at 720 with about 30 - 50% cpu usage. now it seems with flash 10 my AMD Athlon 4000+ struggles to play even 720 videos. My cpu is by no means a top performer, it is however capable of handling somewhere in the region of a billion instructions per second. for video content to require that amount of data to be handled is rediculous.
HD content played back on my local machine using a different codec, my cpu barely even uses 5 - 10% cpu time, not only that, these videos have roughly about the same compression rates as flash videos. i just don't understand how flash can require so much resources without taking into account innefficient and bloated code.
today i tried to access a web page that required flash content to display images, it was not a video, but an image database, going from one page to the next took somewhere in the region of 20 - 30 seconds, while my cpu maxed out at 100% and firefox stopped responding, which is totally unnacceptable.
it wouldn't normally be a problem if there were good alternatives, but there aren't any, im stuck with this piece of crap software if i want to view any flash content. the only real alternative is to upgrade, which i am not prepared to do if the next version of flash is just going to push those boundries even further for features i don't need.
my proposal is to:
1. rewrite the code with effeciency rather than new features in mind, if that means getting able programmers in, then so be it.
2. make flash modulous, where the basic package provides capabilties to play flash content and separate plugins to provide for all the individual unnecessary features that are not required for basic flash content. surely you can build a package that provides all those plugins for regular users and a basic package + optional plugins for those who know what they want or need.
it really makes no sense why such a large corporation with all this experience to provide a product that quite simply.. sucks, well it does actually, either your programmers are incapable of creating a stable, efficient product or you are purposly trying to push hardware upgrades onto people. lets not forget that flash content is huge business on the web, adobe flash player has a strangle hold on that market, it would be naive to think that hardware vendors have not approached adobe with specifications to further make the money wheel go round.
sort it out, because i for one, am in the process of completely removing my dependancy on adobe flash, if the right product comes along, others will do to, in droves. it's a bubble that is going to burst and there is no way back when you have millions of lines of quite frankly, amateurish code.

Eric,
The GTX 650 would be priced slightly higher than the GT 640 - and then, the OP would have to "settle" for only 1GB of graphics RAM instead of 2GB. The GTX 650 is currently not available with 2GB of RAM.
Both the GT 640 and the GTX 650 are based on the same GPU - the GK107, with 384 CUDA cores. The two major differences are that the GK107 on the GTX 650 is clocked higher than the one on the GT 640, and that the GTX 650 has almost triple the memory bandwidth of the GT 640 (80 GB/s versus 28.8 GB/s).

Issues with Flash - Firefox 7.0.1 on Windows 7 & Firefox 3.6.23 on Mac OS 10.4

I'm having an issue with Firefox vs Flash, and having scoured the web haven't found an answer, so any help appreciated.
I work on a Flash website which uses URLLoader to load XML - previously working perfectly until Firefox and Flash updated to versions:
FF 7.0.1 & Flash 11,0,1,152 (Windows 7 v6.1)
FF 3.6.23 & Flash 10,3,183,10 (Mac OS 10.4.11)
Data load produces IOError, but not in Safari, IE, Chrome, Opera. Where to start!? Is this a Firefox or Flash issue?

*BUMP* Does anyone have any ideas? Or has anyone managed to fix this problem for themselves?

Adobe flash issues with both IE6 and Firefox

I just installed adobe flash 9 on my win2k computer. When I
try to go to www.yourminis.com I get two different results, in IE6
I start to get a web page, but then IE freezes. In Firefox, I get a
big blue quicktime Q the blinks a bit, then a question mark
superimposes over the Q and nothing else happens.
I also cannot view this page under Firefox in Freespire
Linux, but there, it tells me I don't have a new enough version of
Flash Player, but I downloaded and installed the newest version
available for Linux, and I tried both the normal automatic install
and the manual install (which was a pain in the butt because
Freespire has no admin log in, and you have to do all your copying
of files from a command line using the sudo command...)
Why is this happening? I even have an issue with flash and
the yahoo home page, in IE6 it works fine, but in Firefox, where
you normally see the yahoo logo at the top of the page, instead you
see the big blue Quicktime Q and then the question mark, and the
yahoo logo never comes up (this isn't a big issue, I don't need to
see the animated yahoo logo, but since Firefox is doing the same
thing on www.yourminis as it is with the Yahoo logo animation, I
thought it might be significant)
I even disabled ALL file types in Quicktime's settings except
Quicktime Movies format, because QT won';t LET me disable that one.
Still having the same problems.
Oh, and all this is happening under Administrative User, with
full priveledges in Win2k, so don't tell me I need to be admin or
something like that.

This should be the about:crashes page.
If you have submitted crash reports then please post the IDs of one or more crash reports that have this format:
*bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
You can find the IDs of the submitted crash reports on the about:crashes page.
*You can open the about:crashes page via the location bar, like you open a website.
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Mozilla_Crash_Reporter
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Mozilla+Crash+Reporter
You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Having Major Issues with Flash Player

Using IE 8, 64 bit, flash player 11.4.402.287
Having major issue with flash player! can not play a lot of games on FB. Games tell me that i need to update my Flash Player, PC says I have the latest version installed already.Ok, thought i would uninstall/reinstall...no go. Will not uninstall, says I need to close IE...which none are open. This issue has been going on for weeks now. I have done everything the help said to do and still not working. I need HELP!

im using the recent adobe flash player
windows XP, internet explorer, 10.045.2, 32bit
im not sure how this works, but im sure all that is correct:)
if you need additional infomation, just let me know

Safari not working (Flash issue) but FireFox is... is there an issue with Safari?

When I access Connect in Safari I am asked to upgrade my Flash player - it is up to date... Firefox works just fine. Does anyone else have Safari access or Flash issues?

Connect version 8 requires that Adobe Flash 10.1 be installed. I would suggest that you uninstall Flash and then reinstall from here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#ostype=m,prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,
Adobe Connect is built to use the Adobe Flash player and it works great on Mac OSX. I suspect your Flash instance is corrupt and needs replacement. I use Safari all day long with Adobe Connect 7.5 and 8.
