No Sound in Flash?


I've upgraded my openSUSE 11.1 64bit using esound to 11.2 64bit recently and the result was no sound in flash (e.g., YouTube and other streamed video) but everywhere else it worked. I've googled around a bit but didn't find anything that would work for me. So I tried to switch to pulseaudio but the result was still the same.

It took me some time but finally I found out that flash-player was installed in 32bit version but there were no 32bit libraries for pulseaudio installed. After I installed them and did the windows-like reboot, sound in flash suddenly started working.

i had the same problem as have most people i guess in openSUSE KDE i guess... all you have to do is to turn up PCM in KMIX since its muted by default.

As I wrote before, none of the solutions I found worked for me. And also turning PCM in Kmix up didn't help. That's actually why I wrote this blog entry.

Anyway, thanks :) ;)

Thanks,

I had the right rpms installed but I found that I have some old libraries under /home/username/.mozilla/plugins

removing them solved my problem.

thanks again.
