VLC and flash audio

It seems that one or the other seems to lock onto ALSA.

If I play a youtube video first, and keep the browser tab open, VLC won't play any audio. Same thing vice versa. I often watch shows and browse forums, sometimes pause the show and watch the quick video, but it's difficult with this issue. It's probably a quick fix, but I can't find anything.

Re: VLC and flash audio

Are you using only ALSA to play sound?
Do you have any mixers installed? It can be, if there no mixer available in the system.
install it, all look there:

jasuramme, thank you, but this question was asked years ago. The user who asked it hasn't logged in since 2011. Closing as per our policy.
