[SOLVED] No sound in Flash Plugins - Xonar D2X

There is no sound at all when I play any flash content, but my sound works for other applications no problem.

• I'm running Google Chrome's built-in flash plugin

• I'm running Pulse Audio with ALSA. I have installed pulseaudio and pulseaudio-alsa

• I'm using Google Chrome's stable version from the AUR: google-chrome

• My system is 64-bit

• The Pulse Audio server is running fine

• My sound card is an Asus Xonar D2X

• I have the following kernel modules loaded that are associated with sound:

lsmod output

snd_virtuoso           33542  2 
snd_oxygen_lib         29893  1 snd_virtuoso

soundcore               5450  1 snd

• Here is a list of my active sound devices if of interest:

aplay -l output

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: D2X [Xonar D2X], device 0: Multichannel [Multichannel]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: D2X [Xonar D2X], device 1: Digital [Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

I have tried using the flash plugin in the official repositories: flashplugin .
There was no change.

I am out of ideas to attempt, what can I do to fix it?

Re: [SOLVED] No sound in Flash Plugins - Xonar D2X

Okay, my sound now magically works for flash.  I initially had not restarted my pc after installing the above mentioned pulseaudio packages.  I didn't think it necessary, not even sure if it is the restart that fixed it, but problem solved. 

Though i did change my .asound.rc from

pcm.!default {
    type plug
    slave {
        pcm "hw:0,0"
   }
}
ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
}

to

pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
}
ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
}

Not sure if that did anything
