Flash sound not working
I have a computer running Slackware 9.1, and I quite like it. Fast and clean. But theres a slight piece of problem, it being that when I play a Flash animation from the internet or somewhere else I get no sound.
What should I do? I know this isn't a crucial thing but I still happend to find it irritating. |
Welcome to LQ!
Do you have your speakers plugin? Do you hear sound any other time? Like when you play .mp3's Do you have your mixer settings set correctly. try: alsamixer and after you have them the way you want: alsactl store |
Well...
I think that if my osund wouldn't have worked at all I wouldn't have talked about Flash sound :D Heh. Anyhow... Everything else works just perfectly... In the sound area. Except the Flash sound... So if anybody else has similiar problem... |
what desktop are u using? if KDE, then try disabling arts sound server. if gnome , then disable esound.
|
Neither. I use Enlightenment. And I have tested this sound problem in every possible Window Manager, from GNOME and KDE to TWM and IceWM. And none works.
Besides, how do I disable those sound systems anyhow? |
chmod a+rw /dev/dsp
should fix it. must be root of course. hope this helps |
Weh. A step further. I guess. The sound works now. Kind of... But it ripples or... What word could I use... Well it's awful... Unbearable. Everything else is still working fine... What should I do now?

not sure if it's relevant, but i had a permissions/segmenting issue with RealPlayer8 and Firestarter AND the Flash sound missing. I did a reinstall of slack 9.1 ontop of the existing install, with no formatting of partitions or name changing, and changed my /home/miranda to root group, with disk,sys,mem,wheel thrown in, did a VERSION=current with EXCLUDE=gstreamer on swaret.
caveat: i am a newbie with a large axe, and i may not really know what i'm whacking with it. but somewhere in there i did something right. a quick test is www.joecartoon.com. luck -O. |
