 Posted: Sun Mar 28, 2010 1:18 pm Post subject: Flash 10 64bit - No Audio |
 |
|
| Flash 10 is not working right. The 64bit version of the plugin seems to lack sound. It doesn't provide any errors or anything, it just doesn't work. As for the 32bit version, it seems youtube no longer recognizes it through nspluginwrapper for some bizarre reason. Flash has worked fine in the past. Please help? |

| Update: Downgraded to Flash 9. nspluginwrapper works again, but still no sound with flash. |

Nothing there helps.
EDIT: Interestingly, Audio has also stopped working in VLC, but not in Totem. |

BTW, nspluginwrapper is no longer needed for flash.
- Which version of adobe-flash are you running ?
- On what system (x86, x86_64)
- post your /etc/asound.conf and/or $HOME/.asoundrc |

Fixed the problem with VLC. It was unrelated.
For Flash:
Currently using 64bit Flash 10.0.45.2
x86_64
Neither of those configuration files exist.
Sound worked in flash until yesterday.
Downgrading to flash 9 with nspluginwrapper did not fix the sound issue. |

=> Even if you think having found no help in the link I indicated above; Do follow the indications I made in my posts.
Unless you get pulseaudio, you will not get any sound from flash without asound.conf or .asoundrc as described in this thread. |

I've been experiencing the same issue on two different MythTV frontends. I'm curious, how are you outputting audio and what video driver are you using?

| I am using the Nvidia drivers, and I am using Pulseaudio for sound. |

There goes one idea then. My desktop uses Nvidia and Pulse for the sound daemon and it works there. I was hoping to find a link to the ATI OSS drivers.

I should add the steps I took on my desktop if that helps you any.
I added the following line to my /etc/pulse/default.pa
| Code: | | load-module module-always-sink |
I also emerged the alsa-plugins package with the pulseaudio USE flag set. I'm honestly not sure which it was any more that made it work on the desktop, but I haven't had any issues with the latest nVidia drivers, PulseAudio and flash with that set. My other two is a different story.

Your solution killed pulseaudio. After undoing it, I found that now flash has gotten worse, freezing up firefox when leaving the page on top of no sound.
It now gives this error: | Code: | ALSA lib pcm.c:2171:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib64/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_jack.so

Well tristanm, do you have any actual real need of pulseaudio ?
The last message you posted means that you are trying to use jack.
pulseaudio is useless. There is a thread around, I cannot manage to re-find it, in which at least two gentoo devs rightly assert that they never found anything they could not achieve without pulse.
=>
1/ remove pulse ! (daemon & use flag & emerge newuse world)
2/ follow the indications given above. |

| Didn't help. In fact, it killed audio completely. Pulseaudio is gone. Config file as suggested is made. Still no sound in flash and now Firefox freezes when I leave a page with flash, even after removing my old profile. |

Right, so :
1/ Your system is now pulseaudio free ? : and your world rebuilt without the pulseaudio use flag.
2/ Which version of asound.conf did you put from the other thread ? The first one or the second one (The one with jack)
If you put the second one, then jackd needs to be launched prior to any other sound app.
To make things simpler, I would suggest that you first do not bother with jack and try to adapt the first version of asound.conf to your hardware.

No. According to the other thread, only one thing can use sound at a time in that set up.

You are absolutely right.
In this mode, flash captures the device ! |
I had sound working previously without flash capturing my sound card. It worked for two years before an update to flash killed it. |

| Having blown off the idea of setting up my audio system in such a way that would allow flash to hijack my sound card, I have reinstalled pulseaudio and sound is now working again. Even in flash. The only problem is that when I connect my headphones, it doesn't mute the speakers. I will look into this more. |
