Information about Audio Problems in Kde and Firefox

Hello every body.
I’m using openSUSE 11.1 with KDE 4.2.2 and I’m never able to have audio working in a kde application and firefox at the same time.
Say, if I got firefox open with a flash video and I try to open amarok, I get a notification that audio in amarok is disabled.

Is this a widespread issue or is this a problem on my pc? Also ehat’s the remedy?

Install a supoorted Version of openSUSE, I would recomment openSUSE 13.1.

openSUSE 11.1 has reached end of life:

Trouble is your OS is out of support thus you should really update.
