Sound and Flash

Hi everyone,
I've running a trial version of Flash 8 and I need an answer
ASAP, if you please. I was working on a Flash animation on Mac
10.4. and added an event sound to my scene. However, I found that
the clip was too short. So I downloaded Audacity from Source Forge.
It editted the clip wonderfully, but after using that program, all
sounds in Flash stopped working, not just locally, but on Web sites
as well. All other sound works. So I deleted Audacity, removed the
preferences, and rebooted the machine. Still no Flash sound. I
removed the Flash player, rebooted the machine again and reloaded
Flash player. Still no sound.
I really need to work on my final project in Flash, and I
only have 9 more days until the trial is up. Any help in this
matter would be very welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Tricia Lupien

Actually, I found the answer to my own problem. If this
happens to you, play some sounds from GarageBand. It clears the
Audacity problem right up, and sound is back to normal.
Thanks anyhow,
Tricia

Browser Issues (Sound and Flash)

Hello!
Recently, I've had a few issues regarding Firefox on Arch-Linux with FluxBox, using ALSA sound drivers. Here is the problem:
Everything sound related works fine, but after having Firefox (or any browser for that matter) open for a while, eventually any sound played through the browser will stop working. The only sound it emits is a moment of the actual audio, but it just repeats over and over for a few moments. This continues to happen until I kill the browser and restart it. Then, everything works fine.
And another browser related issue I'm having.. When I'm using Pandora or watching flash videos, the UI for the browser-integrated player does not respond. I cannot pause, stop, fastforward, rewind etc.
I wish I knew more about the issue to supply you with more pertinent information. If you need to know anything just ask and I'll get it for you. I would greatly appreciate any advice!
Thank you.

Hmm, well I did a couple things and the problem has yet to reoccur. I left the browser open all night, played audio from other programs and left the browser open. I can still play videos and audio from Firefox. Here is what I did:
In terminal, I first updated everything:
pacman -Syu
And then, I installed the 'gstreamer0.10-plugins' package:
pacman -S gstreamer0.10-plugins
Then I just rebooted and everything seems fine now!
I don't know why the above has appeared to fix this particular issue. I was actually doing it to fix another problem I was having (iPod wasn't playing) and it seemed to fix both. However, the UI of flash videos still won't respond to being paused, fast-forwarded, stopped, etc. for me.
I hope it helps you.
Peace!

Clicking sound and flashing question mark folder

This morning I started getting a repetitive clicking sound from the left of the machine. I wasn't using it at the time.
This stopped, and I tried closing apps: got the spinning beach ball. Let it run for a while, then tried force quit, which didn't work - the "Force Quit" window didn't appear. So, did a power off by pressing the power button.
At start up got a gray screen, the clicking noise, and then the folder icon with flashing question mark. Tried another start, got the chimes and blue screen and the clicking noise this time, then the gray and question mark.
My guess is I've got a bad hard drive: should I keep trying to start up so I can try to back up if I get a good start (last backed up a week ago) or is it doing more damage to keep trying?
Is it worth trying to run Disk First Aid or Tech Tool since it seems to be hardware related?

If it's clicking, it's probably failing. Try things in Apple doc.#58042 on Flashing? mark.
If the drive still spins, You could try the free demo of DataRescuell .
If the demo "sees" your stuff, you can purchase the full version to rescue the bigger files. Don't use the drive, till you get this program, if the demo works. Best chance of recovery. Otherwise Data Rescue companies will charge you a fortune! Everyone needs to have at least one backup of their system.

6220 classic GPS, camera sound and flash off

Hello,
How do I do the following (if possible)on the 6220 classic:
1.) Use GPS without going online (i've tried everything doesn't seem to work)?
2.) Turn off the shutter sound when using camera?
3.) Turn off automatic flash (it keeps switching back on)?
Thank you for any response.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thank you for your response!
Exactly, it has never locked into position. It searches for satelites but doesnt find them (even if I turn off A-GPS).
Question: Could you explain what you meant with WLAN as an access point, since the phone doesnt come with WiFi?
My positioning server is set on 'automatic'
Accespoint: 'obligatory' (or similar, transl. from swedish)
Serveraddress: 'something with ...3gpnetwork.org'*
* sorry, dont want to give it out completly, could be a specifik user setting from my mobile operator.
Thank you

EMac won't start and 3 beep sound and light flash

My eMac suddenly got problem these days.
Last night, eMac can boot and login. Suddenly, the monitor cant display property. Then, i enforced to power off. Later, trying restart it. eMac cannot start up and breeze 3 beep sound and flash power light.
I checked support forum. It claimed that "3 beep - no good banks". Actually, i dont understand what it is. What i can i do??

KY18,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The three beeps mentioned in Power On Self-Test Beep Definition means that during the startup test of RAM, the Mac detected that there are DIMMs physically in one or both sockets, but that neither DIMM is functioning electrically.
It's unlikely but possible that one RAM DIMM may have suddenly failed catastropicaly, far more unlikey if you have two DIMMs installed. A more plausible scenario, considering your mention of display problems, would be if the eMac were plugged directly into a wall outlet, or into a low-cost surge protector whose MOV hardware had degraded and failed (the status LEDs on low-end surge protectors are essentially worthless). If there was a power surge while you were using the computer, that could have blown out the RAM (and potentially damaged other hardware as well). Surch brownouts or surges are usually evident in the effect on room lights, clocks, and other elctronic devices plugged into the power outlets.
As a longshot, you can try pulling the RAM DIMMs and then reseating them in the slots, making certain that the thumb clips holding the DIMMs have snapped fully into place after reseating them. Check the RAM installation instructions at eMac - Do-It-Yourself.

IPod screen goes blank and flashes - help!

I recently got this ipod from the Apple store because my previous one broke. They gave me the ipod and right when I plugged it in, the screen turned an offwhite color, made a quiet buzzing sound and flashed. After a week of this it mysteriously started working so I didn't put much thought into it, I was just happy my iPod worked. Then after a month or two, it randomly started doing the same thing. No matter if I plug it in or not, the screen flashes a blank off white page. It's extremely frustrating. Since the Apple store is far away I didn't get to take my ipod in until a few days ago and when they plugged it in, guess what? It worked. The guy said the battery was just low. So I brought my iPod home and when I'm not using it, I have it plugged into my wall charger. This morning, I woke up and the screen was blank again! I don't know what could of caused this. Apple won't fix it so maybe you can help?

It is also possible that your iPod has entered one of its "Sleep" modes. When it hasn't been used in a while, it goes through a couple of stages of this to preserve the battery's charge.
Try pressing the iPod's center button to wake it from sleep.
If this fails, start with a reset of the iPod (hold Menu & center buttons) and work your way through the rest of the 5 R's.

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 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.

Sound and video are choppy since installing Flash Player 11.3

I'm having a problem here! Since I updated Adobe Flash Player 11.3, the audio and video are all choppy when I play Adobe Flash game apps in Facebook! Even when I disabled hardware acceleration, the sound and video are STILL choppy! Even I watch a YouTube video and the sound and video are a bit choppy! There's DEFINITELY some sound issues in Flash Player 11.3! I'm using Firefox 13 in Windows XP SP3. I'm wondering if you have any answers for the sound issues in FP 11.3.

I went through an annoying password reset process to post on here, haha, I was experiencing this issue and managed to resolve it for a flash animation I was making that was going to be sent out; thus fixing it for myself wouldn't change things for others. I know this is old, but if anyone is in this position, I hope it helps.
I was using Swish Max for my scenario.
Under the Export Settings, I found that by default it was using SWF Version: SWF8 - when it had the option to go up to SWF10. I changed it to 10, and set the hardware acceleration to Level 1 - Direct.
I exported, and it still didn't work. The music was choppy as heck and terribly inconsistent with speed. I even created a preloader, which appeared to work but didn't resolve my issue.
FINALLY, I kept it at version 10, and found that it had an option that said "Preload Content: Disabled." I set that to "At Preload Frame" and though I had a loading animation setup to do the preloading, I still placed a preloadcontent keyframe at frame 1. Then I set Hardware acceleration to Level 2-GPU and exported.
IT WORKED. The terrible, seemingly non-fixable audio cracking lag was gone and it worked flawlessly.
Hope this helps someone, I originally found this when I was trying to find a fix for the issue.

No sound with Flash and flash players..

I've just installed Flash 8 and the player for my intel based
mac and the sound worked for a few hours, I could hear sound both
in the fla and swf, but then suddenly it didn't work and there is
no sound with Flash at all, not through a browser or anything (all
other file types and sound in general work on machine). Very
frustrating, any ideas of what can cause it? I've reinstalled Flash
and no luck so far and it's HOT and sweaty in Oslo..

can anyone help i have no sound in windows but i have sound in games fine

IMac won't turn on. Only a clicking sound and a grey folder with flashing question mark.

iMac won't turn on. Only a clicking sound and a grey folder with flashing question mark.
Help.

Your iMac is actually turning ON as proven by the grey folder with the flashing question mark.
The flashing question mark indicates that your system is unable to find a bootable volume. The clicking sound that you hear is probably coming from your hard drive while it tries to recalibrate. I suspect your hard drive has failed.
What model imac do you have? If it's under warranty I suggest taking it in for service. Hopefully you've been maintaining a regular backup of your data as all users should. I lost my data once and it was a valuable lesson. I back up regularily now.
If your iMac came with install disks then you can boot from them, choose your language when asked, then pull down the Utilities menu to launch the Disk Utility application. The Disk Utility application will allow you to verify whether your hard drive has an issue. Usually a clicking sound, assuming it's coming from the hard drive, is a sign of a bad hard drive.
If your system has Lion installed then you can hold down the Command and R keys when you restart the system, then launch the Disk Utility application from the menu that appears.

Flash crashes sound and prevents sound from being used on the entire computer

Hi everyone,
I have been using firefox all my life and have been running into the following issue recently.
Whenever I play flash games (such as chess.com), after a minute or two the sound stops working. At first I thought it was just the website, but I would navigate to a youtube video that used flash and it would crash after 1 second. I then tried to play a song locally and it said that I was out of memory, which I doubt since I have 16gb of RAM. I tried running chess.com on IE (sadly) and everything worked fine.
I am starting to run out of ideas. I have reinstalled firefox and flash. Any debugging information that I can provide, just let me know how to get it for you.
Some info about my computer/setup:
Windows 7
Firefox 34.0.5
Shockwave Flash 16.0.0.235
Thanks
Update:
I am now experiencing similar issues on my Windows 8.1 box. This might be caused from a windows update. Will update if I find out more

It's related to your video card drivers. You can tell Flash to not use hardware acceleration. This might solve the issue. You also might want to make sure you're running the latest available drivers for your hardware.

Momentary pause in Sound when using Flash Player AND Flash CS4

Hello,
When ever I play something in Adobe Flash Player (a flash movie, for example) and there is an absence of sound, the flash player will momentarily pause (for about 1 second) RIGHT BEFORE an incoming sound is made.
Imagine in the movie someone swings a hammer towards a plank. The animation will pause RIGHT BEFORE the hammer makes an impact and thus creates the hitting sound. The sound and animation will time up correctly, but there is that brief pause before, as if the internet browser, or flash player, or my sound card has to 'load' something before executing the sound.
I tried experimenting with my sound output via the bottom-right hand control properties on the desktop, and when I choose "Digital Output Device (SPDIF)" and disable my "SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC," there is absolutely NO sound at all, yet there is also NO lag prior to where a sound would play in the movie. This leads me to believe it may be a problem with my sound card.
As I said before, if the Flash player is playing a continuous sound, a background song, for instance, there is no momentary pause when the introduction of new sounds happens.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the player - no luck. Obviously i'm currently running the player at the newest version.
OS: Windows Vista Home Basic
RAM: 2G
Processor: Genuine Intel CPU 1.6 GHz
Sound: SigmaTel High Definition
Browser: FireFox

No sound with Flash and Win7

I updated Flash yesterday to the newest version. My computer speakers work fine. I get no sound with flash video. So far I have tried most things listed. Still no sound. My flash video sound worked fine four days ago before the update. I was not able to reinstall an older version of Flash. My computer with XP has Flash sound. Is this going to get fixed?

Easiest is to do a System Restore to a date before the update.

HELP! Uploading AS3 Game to server, no sound and Spacebar doesn´t work HELP!

Hello, relatively new to AS3 and flash, this is the first time i am publishing anything. We are trying to upload our simple flashgame to our webserver, the game works perfectly fine locally save for one thing. We get an error regarding TLF which says it wont stream or something. So when it gets online, no sounds play and spacebar doesn't work, left and right arrow does work. We have three TLF text fields that are used to update score, lives and show you final score. If i turn these into classical text they stop working.
Things we have tried: Changing default linkage from RLS to Merged into code, changing the text boxes to classical text(they then stop working), made sure the paths are correct(all files are in the same directory including the .swz file)
This is the code from the soundclass:
package
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    import flash.media.Sound;
    import flash.media.SoundChannel;
    import flash.events.*;
    public class MySound
        private var bgSound:Sound;
        private var fireSound:Sound;
        private var waterSound:Sound;
        private var earthSound:Sound;
        private var lightSound:Sound;
        private var soundChannel:SoundChannel;
        public function MySound()
            soundChannel = new SoundChannel();
            bgSound = new Sound();
            var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("BackgroundSound.mp3");
            bgSound.load(req);
            //fire
            fireSound = new Sound();
            var req2:URLRequest = new URLRequest("soundFire.mp3");
            fireSound.load(req2);
            // water
            waterSound = new Sound();
            var req3:URLRequest = new URLRequest("soundWater.mp3");
            waterSound.load(req3);
            // earth
            earthSound = new Sound();
            var req4:URLRequest = new URLRequest("soundEarth.mp3");
            earthSound.load(req4);
            // light
            lightSound = new Sound();
            var req5:URLRequest = new URLRequest("soundLight.mp3");
            lightSound.load(req5);
        public function playBgSound()
            soundChannel = bgSound.play(0, 999999);
        public function stopBgSound()
            soundChannel.stop();
        public function playFireSound()
            fireSound.play();
        public function playWaterSound()
            waterSound.play();
        public function playEarthSound()
            earthSound.play();
        public function playLightSound()
            lightSound.play();
I can somewhat get that sound can bugg out, but why does spacebar stop functioning? ANy help is greatly appreciated as this has to be delivered in twelve hours(published online) for a school assignment.

Also might add publishing it locally in my own browser everything works, as does ofcourse playing it in flash itself. Changing from RLS to merged into code stops the error from coming, but doesn´t fix the problem on the server.
