I have a strange problem. Every movie I watch on youtube has only colors in different hues of red, as if you watch black-white movies but now black-red movies. It only occurs on youtube, other sites such as dailymotion work ok. It also happens in every browser I tried (opera-firefox-chrome, though konqueror seems not to be able to open the movies).
Before this, I already had some problems such as needing to reload the page before the movie started playing, image freezing in the middle of the movie (so needed to reload)… So I think there must be something wrong with my flash installation.
Uninstalled it this morning and installed the lates flash beta (10.2) but the problem stays the same. Also by installing gnash through yast2 I didn’t got any improvements.
So, has anyone a solution? Maybe trying to uninstall every flash capable player and install it afresh? Or maybe st else?
Unfortunately I have all of your problems too with my opensuse.
On ubuntu forum (I don’t trust always them but it’s more popular so the replies could be faster) they say that maybe it’s a problem that depends on the last update of adobe flash player… I think that’s the same in opensuse.
I hope that a new update will arrive soon.
I quote your post, waiting for a solution.
I think I’ve found a solution. Try right-click on a movie, select settings and uncheck the box next to ‘hardware acceleration’. It seems like after doing this, the movies are back in normal colors (found this on a linux mint forum)
For me it’s not possible select “settings” after right-click, so I have unchecked “hardware acceleration” going to another website. I write here the link for people that have the same problem:
Right-click → settings → uncheck “hardware acceleation” here
Thank You both sonicboy and sim0ne. Had the same problem and your solution works. As for sim0ne the settings was grayed out for me as well but following the link provided by sim0ne this was no longer the case. Unchecked hardware acceleration according to sonicboy’s advice and it works great.
I’m in the wilderness on this problem, too. Tried everything from upgrading to uninstalling/reinstalling to downgrading and I got no sound. Not even website sound from goofy sites. I’ll keep monitoring, but wish these things could be tested better before Adobe blesses us with another death-grade.

but but but…this thread has nothing to do with sound problems in
Flash…
but there are about a million threads on sound problems in Flash…
do you system sounds work?
did you try opening the kmix or alsa-mixer (which you have) and
turning up the “PCM” ??

Hi
I just joined this forum to share my solution to the flash problem. I did as follow and now I have no troubles with flash.
First I have to mention that I’m on OS 11.4 64bit and using latest Nvidia blob (I use beta 270.30 but latest stable worked as well).
Uninstall the Flash player package with yast or zypper.
