I’m not sure if this question should go to FF, KDE or here. I have no sound in Firefox as long as I have the flashplayer plug-in installed.
This started a couple of days ago in FF 9 and I have since upgraded to FF 10.
I am running Suse 12.1, 64 bit system with a KDE 4.7.2 (4.7.2) “release 5” desktop.
Strangely, as long as I don’t have the plug-in enabled I get sound and video in YouTube. ( I thought YouTube was all flash stuff? ) However, all flash media, news clips and flash effects, such as product zooms on other web pages are disabled.
If I enable the flashplayer plug in I get the flash media, video and effects everywhere, but no sound anywhere including YouTube which still plays video as before but without sound.
This just happens in FireFox. Opera, Chrome and Konqueror work fine.
It is most likely an issue with how your sound card is configured in openSUSE. Also, I install Totem (normally associated with GNOME) in KDE and disable all competing Firefox plug ins when a Totem version exists. For more on sound card setup, see this:
Are you using pulse audio ? Is there any chance you have pulse audio tuned incorrectly? If you have pulse audio enabled, you could try install pulse audio volume control (pavucontrol) and then tune that appropriately. I provided some guidance here on pavucontrol use in a blog entry : Pulseaudio Basics for openSUSE with pavucontrol - Blogs - openSUSE Forums

WOW!! you are right! super.
to get into html 5, scroll all the way down the page and click on “Try
Something New”, then scroll down, find the big <HTML5> button and click
on the “Try it out”, read and click … hmmmmmm, i already clicked and
not i can’t see what to click…to make the switch…but, it is near the
end of the writing there…then enjoy!!
but, my little atom with on board intel graphics can’t serve up full
screen video smoothly, but the audio is perfect…
