[SOLVED] Sound in flash players don't work with openSuse

felipejnc · 07-23-2010, 03:40 PM

Hello!

I'm working with openSuse 11.3 and my audio card is an ati hd 3650 (RV365).

I use HDMI for audio and video output and the audio works fine with amarok, banshee, kaffeine and system sound events, but in browsers like Firefox or Opera, the flash players don't emmit sound, only video.

I tried reinstalling flashplayer, alsa and pulse but nothing happen....

Previously i was working with Ubuntu 10.4 and everithing worked fine, but I prefer much more Suse.

I hope anybody can help me!!!

P.S. Sorry my bad english.

Hi, Welcome to LQ!

LQ has a fantastic search function that may save you time waiting for an answer to a popular question.

With over 3 million posts to search it's possible the answer has been given.

I'm not sure, But on My Mandriva system I have both the i386 and x86_64 versions installed, (rpm --force --nodeps )even though they conflict (reported), but it works fine.

Now I think it's important to try the web-page with konqueror, not just firefox.

There may be other plugins for konqueror.

I used to run a script to put the libflashplayer.so file where programs will look for it. Exaample, netscape, firefox/plugins (for /home/<user>, /root/, and /usr/lib, /usr/lib64.

example scripts...

libflashplayer-script

Code:

#! /bin/zsh
echo "Flash Player 10.0"
echo "/home/glenn/bin/libflashplayer-script"
echo "smart reinstall nspluginwrapper nspluginwrapper-i386"
/home/glenn/bin/reinstall-flash.sh
#sudo sh 
sudo sh /home/glenn/bin/libflashplayer-script64bit.sh
sudo sh /home/glenn/bin/libflashplayer-script32bit.sh

sudo updatedb

locate libflashplayer.so

echo "done"
date && whoami

I hope this helps you, Adobe are not interested in the 5% of users who use Linux.

the good news is that html5 is coming, and should get rid of Flash on the internet

If your sound works ok with other software like xmms or mplayer and so one than it must be the flashplayer. I had some problems with the adobe flash player installed from repos too. So I've downloaded the libflashplayer.so library from internet and copyed into /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins and everything works ok now. Ofcourse I've didn't had sound problems but maybe this will work for you too. You can download it from here http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Inter...ux-42958.shtml , maybe it will resolve your problem too

Thanks for the replys. I've installed the flashplayer version from the Adobe's page and from the page that "Tux Rules" gave me in the previous post (i.e., i uninstalled the flash player version from the suse repository), but that didn't help me. I have the same problem, i can see videos in flash but no sound. I tried in konkeror too, but wasn't successful.

Any other ideas? Only in flash i have the problems. Amarok, banshee, Kaffene, MPlayer, totem, etc, work fine.

Thanks!

I think have found a solution... I don't remember how i found these page (or which forum had the link) but this is the page: http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSe...SAApplications)

I belive tha flash was redirectioning the audio output to alsa and not to pulse, therefore i wasn't unable to listen any audio. The configuration files of alsa can be /etc/asound.conf or in /etc/asound.state which is my case.

Regrards and i hope that these helps anybody.

P.S. Sorry about my bad english.

In such situations , Many problems arises from the Installing a new software then another problem had been occurs lots of media players and Linux players. I've installed the flash player new version from the Adobe's page but that is also not access or running very well then I have the same problem, I can see videos in flash players but no sound.I wasn't unable to listen any audio.

I also have a solution (a different one) to this problem, my flash sound was sent to PCM channel which was muted, so I simply added PCM to kmix and upped the volume and now it works.
