No sound in Flash 9 Firefox 1.5.0.7

Stormscape · 11-02-2006, 07:09 PM

Well I just installed Flash 9 on my computer, using the tar or whatever it was from whoever owns Flash now. Everything was done correctly, it works, but no flash videos have sound. It's completely silent. I've checked alsamixer and there's nothing at 0 except microphone. Anybody have any suggestions?

I'd like to know where you got Flash Player v9. AFAIK only the v7 version is available for Linux and I just checked the web site at adobe.com.

The beta of flash 9 for linux has been available for a little while now. See here.

Stormscape, try turning off any sound server you have running. In KDE you can do this from the control panel, in Gnome there's usually a sound option in the preferences or administration menu where you can turn off sound servers.

We've also had a thread in the Linux-News section for some time. Try running Firefox with this command

Code:

aoss firefox

, that worked for me.
