No sound in web applikations

English Multimedia
#1

I have installed Firefox 3 and suddenly the sound in video an other sound
sources on the web, have ceased to make the proper sound. There isn’t any
sound at all. From Amarok the sound is fine. How can this problem be fixed?
Is there a place were the sound can be turned on and of for Firefox?

I installed firefox-3.0 and sound works fine with web applications.

But I don’t think its possible to answer your question with a specific reply, as you did not explain how you obtained sound from web applications before. (ie what plugins ?? ).

In my case, I use mplayer/mplayerplug-in combination. It works great with firefox3. So does flash-player. I have a 32-bit system on openSUSE-10.3, and a recent 32-bit install on openSUSE-11.0.

I get sound from or via Flash. It worked earlier but now it’s silent.

Hmmm 64-bit openSUSE-10.3 and problems with flash with firefox-3.0.

64-bit …

Me thinks this could be related to your using a 64-bit opensuse and have a mix of 32-bit applications? … Sorry, I don’t have a 64-bit PC, so someone familiar with those peculiarities needs to chime in.

Good luck!

I found the problem. The soundcard I use mostly was set as the secondary
soundcard. When I changed this, the problem was solved. Thanx for the help
anyway.

Congratulations on sorting this. Thanks for sharing your solution.

Please, out of curiousity, where did yo change the second card reference?

  • in your desktop manager (gnome/kde/other)?
  • with yast ?
  • in your /etc/modprobe.d/sound file?

Sounds exactly like a problem I had with both 10.3 and 11.0. I reported this and it was solved with a workaround:
