No sound on flash videos on the internet after suspend and hibernate

I have this:

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller

Everytime I resume from suspend or hibernate with firefox open alongside with fully loaded flash videos, playing the videos doesn't produce any sound anymore.  I need to restart firefox in order to make it work again..:(
Any ideas?

Thanks for the help in advance

Re: No sound on flash videos on the internet after suspend and hibernate

Uhm, i have the same problem here but was to lazy until now to research it.
I still am very lazy, but i found this thread:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=41352

Maybe you could try that out and see if it fits?

My sound card:
05:03.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy (rev 04)

Ubuntu has some bugs filed relating to this. Maybe its not distro specific.

Not sure when the problem started though...

Firefox 3.0.9

Re: No sound on flash videos on the internet after suspend and hibernate

I'm also having this problem.  Xfmedia plays audio just fine before and after suspend/resume, but pandora.com and hulu.com in firefox do not.  Also noticed that CPU usage skyrockets when trying to restart audio/video after resume in pandora/hulu.  In hulu, video restarts, but audio does not. 

Interestingly, CPU usage also spikes if I restart audio in Xfmedia after resume, but the CPU hog is firefox not Xfmedia and Xfmedia audio plays just fine.  Have to close the hulu or pandora tab to get the CPU usage back to normal.  Wondering if it's just a bug in flash for linux.

Also got the same results with Epiphany and Konqueror.

konqueror doesn't show up as it's own package in pacman, but here's the version info from the browser:

Re: No sound on flash videos on the internet after suspend and hibernate

I'm having the same problem here on a thinkpad. Anyone managed to solve this?

I've tried following this,
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=72297

It works for other sounds but not flash.

Thanks in advance!

Re: No sound on flash videos on the internet after suspend and hibernate

Same problem here, it's pretty darn infuriating. Doesn't happen on every suspend, but after waking from many suspends flash is both glitchy and audio is dead.
Also! (related?)
I use MPD and have noticed that sometimes when I start MPD after wake up, Firefox's cpu usage spikes to like "116%" according to top, which is confusing. The computer is noticibly slowed down when this happens, so it's not just a bug in top.
Restarting firefox fixes this and fixes dead audio in flash video.
Affected packages: flashplugin 10.0.45.2-1, mpd 0.15.9-5, firefox 3.6.3-1

Hope this helps. Is there a bug report submitted somewhere?

Re: No sound on flash videos on the internet after suspend and hibernate

Problem still here.

But one quick way to get rid of it without restarting firefox is to go to the plugins panel, disable and reenable the flash plugin.
At this point, the pages with flash with 'reload' proper.

Any new approaches?

I'm affected by this bug on 64bit and Firefox too.
