[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.

Hello,
My sound card has stopped working it was working fine but suddenly the sound quality started to faint and finally it stopped working i have tried the following methods:
Realtek is default audio
Control Panel/ Sound & Audio Devices/ Audio tab/ Sound Playback click on down arrow and check that the correct audio is selected. Typically the problem will be they something like "modem line 0 playback" might have been substituted for the proper audio device.( Didn't Worked)
Chipset Utility - install ( Did'n't Worked Aswell)
Start / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Component Services / a separate window will open in left pane click Services(Local) from the tree / Scroll down to Windows Audio service / if the service is Disabled or Manual right click > select Properties > under Startup Type change to Automatic > click Apply / click Start > OK Reboot. (Worked) But First The Quality Was Not As It Was Before And Then Sound Card Stopped Working Again.
Try a System File Check
go to Run - type "sfc /scannow" No Success.
I have installed windows again but no success. :(

Flash stopped working in Firefox

Hi there,
I have
- Flash player (11.2.202.235)
- Firefox (13.0, as of this morning)
- (64 bit) Windows 7 Professional
Flash no longer works (in IE or Firefox, fine in Chrome) - I don't know if this happened as the result of an update. I have tried uninstalling Flash (and Firefox), deleting the contents of the various Flash-related folders, and re-installing, but to no avail. After installing Flash player again, this page:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/completion/aih/?exitcode=0
briefly shows some Flash once, but if I return to it this no longer works, there's just a blank space that's eventually replaced with a banner ad.
Anyone got any tips as to how to get this running again?
Thanks,
Toby

I am still having this issue. Those flash sites mentioned above, I've found that, just as said, one works while the other does not. However, that site that it does work on seems to be the exception, not the rule. It's the only flash I've found that does work.
Also, unlike some of these people, I know EXACTLY when my flash stopped working. I was streaming the DOTA 2 competitions online when the update box came up, encouraging me to update. I put it off for an hour or two, then ran the suggested update, right at the beginning of a match I was very interested in. Well, at the end of the update, Adobe wanted me to reset Firefox, so I did. When I went back to the site, I could no longer stream. I'm fairly computer oriented, growing up in a geek home, so it didn't take me more then 5 minutes to figure out the source of the issue. Upon checking flash on a few other sites, I knew the problem was universal.
I immediately uninstalled 11.3 it and reinstalled the previous version, 11.2.200.235. The flash then worked perfectly again and all was well. This was the 8th I believe.
Well, like an idiot, while doing something else, the update suggestion came up about an hour ago and I allowed it to update. I assumed that this previous issue had been universal, so naturally this was a new update that wouldn't have to problem. Oh, how wrong I was. Exactly the same problem has returned. In an effort to correct the problem, as I did before, I tried to resort to a previous version of flash. However, since a few days have past, I can no longer FIND that version. And I am not a happy camper.
I want to that site, where the one flash works, and disabled the accelloration thing in the settings (it should be noted that, for the before mentioned site where flash won't load, you CAN'T right click to get to settings, because there is just a white, empty screen. Right clicking doesn't do anything). I then looked for anything else that might be a problem (for example, I gave the system unlimited data storage).
Also, I am running Firefox 13, just as I was BEFORE your flash update. It was working just fine. Yes, I am sure of that.
No, I don't have any issues with my physical memory space, I have plenty, so that sure isn't the issue either.
Please, figure out what the heck your update screwed up in Firefox and fix it. In the meantime, please send me a copy of the 11.2.200.235 update, so I can actually function again. I know 11.3 has security hole fixes (yes, I read up on it). Screw the "fixes," I just want to be able to use my internet again! I have things I need to get done. Thank you for your product, we are all very grateful for it. However, it is a major problem for me when it stops working suddenly. In the meantime, I have to use Chrome, which I don't prefer, as all my settings are in Firefox.
Thank you for your time, as well as your quick reply.

Flash stopped working on 10.8

As soon as I DL'd mountain lion, flash stopped working. Every time I DL the new flash player, I can't find it anywhere and no dialogue box pops up. I've made sure everything is "enabled" in privacy settings etc. Please help
Thanks

Try using the FlashPlayer uninstaller first. You can find it on Adobe's website. Then install the latest version of FlashPlayer also downloadable from Adobe's website.

[SOLVED] Sound in Flash

Hi,
I got a problem with Flash in Firefox, everytime i start my computer and start a Flash video i have sound in it. But if
I want to start Teamspeak or VLC or any other programm which also have sound output, they crash or even dont start.
And if i close my Firefox or just the Flash-Video i am able to start the other programs and use them, but if i want to watch a flash movie or clip
the sound dont work anymore....
I think its a problem caused by me using PulseAudio, because this is only happening since i installed PulseAudio and got it working for all my
other applications.
I hope you can help me. And i allready searched for my problem but nothing helped me -.- .
Edit:
OK, I fixed the whole thing with a reboot... -.- And I don't know which trick from my tried finaly did it and fixed my problem... -.-

My sound buttons keep stopping working and when I click onto a video it doesn't even have the little slider that you use to turn the volume up. What is wrong with my phone?

My sound buttons on my iPhone 4S keep stopping working, even wen I use the switch to turn my phone on loud it comes up and as soon as I hit a volume button it disappears! Also when I am on a video on Facebook etc the volume slider isn't there?

You need to re install OSX. If you have the dmg file downloaded via torrentz this is how you can create a bootable external HD or Flash drive (8 GB+)

[SOLVED]Kmail imcoming notification stopped working

Hi!
I have up-to-date system. My notification theme is colibri. Until few hours ago incoming notification worked but after i changed my plasma-theme to caledonia it stopped working. I doubt it that this is a reason because i changed the theme back to Air and incoming notification still didn't work. Any clues?
EDIT: I didn't do anything but now out of a sudden it has started to working. I am really confused now. I will tag the question as SOLVED.

Thank you for the version info. I'd recommend an upgrade to 6.12, although it's not likely to be the problem in this particular case.
What is your Sound Effects device in System Preferences > Sound? Many Skype sounds are alerts and use the Sound Effects channel instead of the general output channel. If the device is set to something which won't play, or the alert volume is set too low, you will not hear Skype alerts, just as you won't hear Finder alerts such as moving a file to the trash.

[SOLVED] Audio over HDMI stopped working? (Intel/i915)

My audio over HDMI was working fine until recently and I can't figure out what's stopped it from working... My configs haven't changed and aplay -D plughw:0,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav gives no errors, but no sound can be heard. There are no errors/messages in dmesg either.
My graphics card uses the Intel i915 chipset (Asus laptop).
Config stuff:
/etc/asound.conf:
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 3
ctl.!default {

Any ideas?

Yeah I checked and everything is fine... this is really weird!
I've tested audio over HDMI on windows, so I know it's not the cable/HDMI port. I've looked through my pacman.log (I tend to update daily) and the only thing I can see which could affect it is a kernel update and intel-dri. I tried downgrading those and re-tested, to no avail.
I also installed pulseaudio and pulseaudio-alsa before it stopped working. This could have broken it, but I've since uninstalled them and replaced /etc/asound.conf with my original, so that rules those out; unless there is something else that pulse could have broken?
Cheers

SOLVED: W510 Wired Network Stops working

I had a problem with a W510 I ordered with Windows 7 32 bit. At random times, the exclamation point icon would appear over the network icon in the system tray, and the network adapter would no longer be recognized. I could use the built in Windows facilities to reset the adapter, but it would quickly fail again. The only cure was to restart the machine, which was annoying. Wireless networking was not affected - just the wired Ethernet connection.
I downloaded the latest drivers from the Lenovo site and that did not fix it. I have had numerous Thinkpads over the past 12 years and have NEVER had any sort of hardware fault before, so I doubted that it was a hardware fault. Therefore I wiped the machine clean and installed 64 Bit Windows 7 instead.
The first problem I had after installing Win7 x64 was that the internal USB controller was not recognized by Windows. Therefore, USB devices (i.e. my thumb drive with all the x64 Lenovo drivers on) were no longer recognized. Therefore, I burned the x64 drivers to a CD and used that instead.
All the devices including the USB controller then came to life, and it looks like the problem has been completely solved.
I post this, in case anybody else has such a problem.

I just started seeing this issue with my pen silo. The Wacom tablet component has completely stopped working, and I'm seeing "USB device not recognized" every time I insert and draw out the pen. My guess is that all the peripheral components in the tablet are connected to the motherboard via crappy silver trace ribbon cables, and they're susceptible to the tiniest amount of flex, heat, and disruption.
Since the USB device is, at least in my case, still operating well enough to report that it is having trouble, I'm guessing that the issue is transient, but that doesn't fix my problem - and probably won't fix yours. I'd recommend getting a refund.
Here's how to see if the device is reporting a problem:
1) Wait until you see the "USB device not recognized" message again.
2) CTRL+X -> Device Manager
3) Other Devices -> double-click "Unknown device"
4) Go to "Details" tab
5) Select "DevNode status" from the drop-down; the Value pane will have DN_HAS_PROBLEM on one of the lines.
6) Select "Problem code" from the drop-down; the Value pane will likely show "0000002B", or Microsoft USB problem code 43 in decimal.

Flash stops working after 10 - 15 minutes.

Hi Everyone,
I've been having some weird problems with my new laptop and flash. I am currently running Windows 7 Pro. 32-bit, IE 8, AVG antivirus (with resident shield disabled), Windows Defender. I start my computer and go into IE and everything seems to be working fine. Then, flash player appears to randomly stop working (whether I've been using it or not) after about 15 minutes.
The really weird part is that sites like youtube still work for about another hour, but ALL sites with small, generic flash video (e.g. failblog.org) just say "loading" and leave the video length at 0:00.
I've tried everything I can think of to fix this. I've gone back down from 32-bit, done a clean install of windows with only drivers, gone back to IE from Chrome and I cannot find a solution to this problem. Any help that anyone can provide would be so greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

What Flash Player version?
Can you try to change some of the settings at http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html, e.g. increase storage settings?

HELP! flash stops working when I want to import a sequence of images to stage

Please! I need help asap! I downloaded Flash CS5 and I am using it as a trial and every time I want to import a sequence of images to stage the program stops working and closes without saving. I need to do this projecto for the day after tomorrow and Flash is just not working right. This project is a stop motion animation.
I will deeply appreciate any help, since I just don't know what else to do!
Laura.

I cannot individually cause it's a stop motion animation...like 200 pictures (this part, the whole of it is like 1000), it would take me a lot of time. I tried doing it in parts, but when I get to frame number 100 more or less the program just shuts down...I really really don't know what else to try.

Flash stopped working and won't reinstall, same error everytime.

Nothing even changed. Just bam, stopped working. Got it to work once, second time it failed. Uninstalled the program I installed that was "not compatible with this version of windows" cleaned the registry, and restored to an earlier point...
The problem is when I try to reinstall/repair/update the flash player from Adobe it fails every single effin' time D:

You can find the latest Flash player for Firefox on this page.
*http://www.adobe.com/special/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
For Firefox on 64 bit Windows, you need the 32 bit Flash version version because Firefox is a 32 bit application.

PSE 13 solves "Error: Licensing has stopped working" on MAC OS X 10.10.2?

After some years using my reliable PS8 I've got this nasty message and I am unable to work since then.
I've been working on solving the "Error: Licensing has stopped working" on MAC OS X 10.10.2 for a while without success.
Does PSE 13 solves the problem? I just want to be sure that if I buy the new version it is going to work or if I am going to lose another US$ 99 on a piece of software that requires more "MAC OS X" expertise than I have.
Any help, clue or piece of advice is welcome.

Thank you, but it is exactly the paper I've been trying to follow.... I can't go through solution 2 because I got an error when using “sudo python “.
After trying for some days I am thinking about buying the newest version (PSE 13), I just want to be sure I am not going to have the same error.... ;-)

I have an iPhone 4s. After upgrading to iOS 6 (and 6.0.1) my sound occasionally just stops working and I have to power off/on to get it back working again. Anyone else having this issue?

My sounds occasionally stops working after upgrading to iOS 6. Is anyone else having sound issues with iOS 6 or greater?

I am having this same issue on my iPhone 4. The most recent update to iOS 6.1 didn't fix it either. Has anyone found a fix for this problem? It doesn't happen often, maybe every third day or so but requires power off, power on to bring the sound back.
