Flash audio in Slackware
If I log in as user1 in fluxbox I get no audio for flash plugins in firefox. If I log in as user2 in KDE I get sound but it is delayed and stutters. If I log in to either fluxbox or KDE as root I get perfect audio in flash in firefox.
I have changed permissions on /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.6/plugins folder to be: drwxrwxrwx root users and both of my users are members of users. In KDE I added "artsdsp" before the firefox command. Without this I had no sound. I also adjusted the sound system auto suspend to 2 seconds and have tried selecting Run with the highest possible priority but to no avail. I am running Slackware 10.2 kernel 2.4.31 Why does flash audio work flawlessly as root but not as users? All other audio works fine for users, just not flash. :( Any suggestions? |
Fixed it with:
chmod 666 /dev/dsp0 :) Also, in KDE I removed the artsdsp before firefox and it now works smooth. |
Hi!
I have had also to disable sound system in KDE. |
You should add your your users to the 'audio' group, or change the group ownership of /dev/dsp0 to users, rather than use chmod 666.

:newbie: :) can you pls explain why is that better? what's wrong with 'chmod' ?

Please explain... thanks |
I think that my Firefox icon was executing the command "artsdsp firefox" and I just changed it to "firefox" (without the quotes of course):)

In other words, your solution worked but I wouldn't recommend opening permissions as a general approach to administering your box. |
