No Sound in Flash on firefox, konq or opera [solved]
I have tried everything that I could find on this, and have had no luck. Can someone please help me!
I have sound for everything else except flash movies (like youtube.com) in any browser.
I run firefox from a konsole window and get these errors when I go to youtube.com:
Code:
which: no soundwrapper in (/opt/kde3/bin:/home/dtomba/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib64/jvm/jre/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin:/usr/lib/qt3/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/sbin)

Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8
I have removed and install firefox, flash and alsa (and yes I do have alsa-oss installed).
What can I check or do to get the soundwrapper working?
Thanks.
EDIT:the problem has been fixed. Scroll down for the fix

Reason: solved
Nobody seems to have a coherent and working answer to this problem.
Installing either the "flashplugin-nonfree" or the "official" player manually from adobe does not work for me. It's not like I am running any new or obscure hardware. My browsers say the plugin is installed and enabled.. so why no sound?
I have tried every possible fix suggested and still nothing. The only thing not tried is setting my internet connection half duplex every time I want to look at a flash site, which as this machine is a gatewey for other machines isn't satisfactory.
You would have thought that somebody would have come up with a certain working fix for this problem which has been with us across the last 4 stable releases of debian.. The silence on this issue just seems to show that nobody really cares if we have fully working debian systems.. All anybody seems to want to do is argue about "free" or "non-free" while the rest of us are left hanging in limbo with non working plugins. This really isn't good enough for that "stable" release.
I know what I'm doing with debian, but this needs a proper dev to get down and dirty with this problem and fix it once and for all. Until then how can debian be taken as a serious desktop replacement~?
This didn't start out as a debian thread. This is actually in SUSE. I have no working flash in firefox. I have no error messages except for this on in the OP. In fact I have gotten some of the error fixed (I have no clue how). Here is the new error I get with firefox and flash sites:
Code:
which: no soundwrapper in (/opt/kde3/bin:/home/dtomba/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib64/jvm/jre/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin:/usr/lib/qt3/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/sbin)

64-bit. Did all of those. It would appear that the nspluginwrapper 0.9.91.5 (and 4) has a problem with flash. The blog said it should be fixed with 91.6, due soon.
Hello! I have this problem too. I don't know what to do and google nothing writes.. It's same error in first post...
cybertaz, have you solved this problem?
Can you give more information on your system please.
Do you have sound with everything other than flash?
What version of flash are you using?
What version of linux are you using? 32 or 64-bit?
What sound card do you have?
What desktop manager (KDE, GNOME)?
Is this a laptop or desktop?
In order to get the help required, as much information as you can supply is required.
yes
I have sound in other applications
Flash version I don't remember certain
System openSUSE10.3 x86_64
Sound card is Realtek ALC662 is integrated on motherboard, desktop PC
KDE 3.5
Sound card works normally (amarok plays, audacity records). When youtube movie plays not sound in firefox, opera, konqueror. But movie is doing.
When firefox start in console after click youtobe video appears same lines like in first post.
Opera in console writes similar lines...
Might wrong installation of java to give this effect? There were some errors.
Java wasn't the issue for me. All I did was re-install ALSA, libsound(all that were listed) and KDEmultimedia. Use YaST and do a search for those, click on the versions tab at the bottom of the YaST window and choose the same version that is listed for the DVD. You have to do that last step or newer versions could get installed, depending on the repos you have setup.
yes! it's working!!! I've reinstalled all those packets and flash player. Flash did error (can't download http://...) and I turned off external repositaries so it's installed from DVD. And sound appeared.
Thank you for help
