sound in flash not working for me Slackware 64 14.0
Dear slackers,
Sound in flash is not working for me.
I installed full slackware64 14.0
I installed flash plugin from SBo git current.
Sound in kde phonon (test) works.
Ted videos in chromium (installed using Slackwiki) start playing with sound but stop after some 10 -20 seconds.
I did a # alsactl init
All flash video have no sound
A cd plays ok with sound
Using xfce and installed mixer plugin showing 3 cards(?)
Code:
lsmod | grep snd
snd_seq_dummy 1455 0
snd_seq_oss 29048 0
snd_seq_midi_event 5620 1 snd_seq_oss
snd_seq 51265 5 snd_seq_midi_event,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_dummy

soundcore 5474 5 snd
#alsacntl init
Code:
alsactl init
Found hardware: "HDA-Intel" "ATI R6xx HDMI" "HDA:1002aa01,00aa0100,00100200" "0x1025" "0x059f"
Hardware is initialized using a generic method
Any idea I could try otherwise?
I made also a file in /etc/modprobe.d named sound.conf containing
Code:
options snd-hda-intel model=auto
to no avail.
Any ideas are welcome!
Thank you
Marcel Geijsberts

Check device and subdevice
I had a similar problem. Run "aplay -l" which should give you a list of available devices and subdevices.
I found a file /etc/asound.conf (of which I do not know who created it...) and there the entries defaults.pcm.ctl.card and defaults.pcm.card are followed by defaults.pcm.device and defaults.pcm.subdevice. Checking these with the output of aplay -l showed that the device and subdevice numbers were not the correct ones, which leads to a failure of "pure alsa". (I hope to remember these thing correctly. In the present machine which is always updated to current, I have no /etc/asound.conf. So, this is from memory...)
Phonon in KDE chooses the devices directly, and therefore does not rely on that mechanism. Which is why the KDE apps work alright.
Obviously, this is just a possibility. But in the fresh install we had exactly these problems...
Good luck
Franz

This is what I experienced with 13.37 and found a solution, I do not remember where 
Create a text file .asoundrc in your account and copy-paste following in it:
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
} |

If it's a laptop, can it be the speakers don't work, but if you plug in a pair of headphones those work?
I'm saying this because there's a kernel bug around that mute internal speakers that seems fixed in yesterday kernel updates...
And I say "seems" because I'm affected too by this bug but I've not yet time to try the new kernel releases.
EDIT: just FYI, I have the speakers muted on this laptop also with the latest kernels 
the bug is described here

@ponce : It is indeed a laptop but your suggestions did not change a thing unfortunately
@grave_violin : I created the file .asoundrc in my home dir /home/mg but no sound either unfortunately
@ fsauer : your suggestion looks promising but I do no know how to exactly to implement it:
aplay -l gives
Code:
aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: Generic_1 [HD-Audio Generic], device 0: ALC269VB Analog [ALC269VB Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
I did not have an asound.conf in /etc
I found :
Code:
bash-4.2# cd /etc
bash-4.2# ls -R | grep asound
asound.state
which contains
Code:

This looks to me the settings of my mixer widget in xfce4
I guess I have to create some config file that gives the correct order of the devices but do not yet know how. I guess that it has to do with udev and the way first sound devices are recognized.
Maybe I should try another kernel?
I know that sound worked under sabayon 9 on this laptop which I exchanged gladly for slackware 14.
Any ideas suggestions are much appreciated.

sound in flash not working....
I found out that my son had created the /etc/asound.conf before I used it. This explains why I didn't know where it came from. 
He created it after reading:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php...ult_sound_card
Maybe the .asoundrc (see post by grave_violin) could be useful for you. As your card 0 is the hdmi one, you should modify the .asoundrc accordingly ("card 1" instead of "card 0").
As you use the default device 0 anyways, this should be ok.
If you want to use the HDMI sound, you have to configure card 0, device 3 subdevice 0, which is exactly what we had to do
Good luck!

Solved
Dear fsauer and others, who helped me. It turns indeed out that the solution provided by fsauer is indeed the correct one.
I will take some time to write down the different steps that were tried and finally lead to the solution. Then maybe an entry at the doc project. At least since rc3 or Slackware 14 rc4 we have had no sound.
This is great if your kids are playing games on your laptop but in the end quite annoying. Thank YOU

I think you need to buy one for fsauer also.
