No Sound with Flash Player 9

Hello,

After installing Flash Player 9 (extra/flashplugin 9.0.31.0-1), I get no sound when viewing flash content.  I have verified this against multiple web sites.  I can view the flash video with no problems.

The sound on my previous flash version was fine.  Also, the sound on my other applications (multimedia and games) still works fine.  My alsa configuration has not changed (to the best of my knowledge).

Any help would be appreciated!

Sound is fine here, trying running firefox via command line and view a flash website to see if it spits out any errors.

Did you maybe install libflashsupport?
The OSS support from libflashsupport will override the default build-in alsa from the normal flash player, and normally fall back if no oss if available. That might cause a problem.

Re: No Sound with Flash Player 9

Thanks for your responses twiistedkaos & mouse256.  I launched firefox from the command line, but no error messages were received when viewing flash content.  Also, I do not have additional flash support installed (only the latest flash plugin from the extra repository).

I am loading modules snd_emu10k1 and snd_pcm_oss in rc.conf.  If I remove (do not load) snd_emu10k1, then I get sound from flash, but no sound from media or games.  When I load snd_emu10k1, then I have sound in media and games, but no sound from flash.

This has turned out to be an alsa configuration issue.  My flash 9 sound is fine now.
