Description Sebastien ROHAUT 2008-12-03 20:32:06 UTC

Hi,

I don't have sound with flash plugin (Firefox, KDE3, just alsa, not pulseaudio). If I activate PulseAudio, I've sound, but crappy.

And with or without sound, with or without pulseaudio, video is accelerated by factor two (more or less) and choppy...

I removed flash 10, libflashsupport and co, and reinstalled Flash 9 from the older 11.0 non-oss factory. It works perfectly.

Any help ?

Looks like a problem of new flash...

Comment 2 Dirk Mueller 2008-12-05 08:28:51 UTC

which architecture ? x86 or x86_64? which beta/rc of openSUSE?

Comment 3 Sebastien ROHAUT 2008-12-05 10:08:59 UTC

I's on openSUSE 11.1RC1, on the two architectures :

-Laptop, Centrino, x86
-Desktop, Core2 Duo, x8-64

Same problem.

Comment 4 Dirk Mueller 2009-01-06 21:33:08 UTC

it works for me without libflashsupport being installed. can you confirm?

Comment 5 Matthias Hopf 2009-01-17 15:00:06 UTC

Have the same issue at home.
Removal of libflashsupport didn't help.

Comment 6 Forgotten User l5QCzUHucG 2009-01-30 16:06:04 UTC

Just a me, too...

I have OpenSuse 11.1(32-bit), KDE 3.5 with Flash 10 installed with a Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] AC'97 Sound Controller (rev a0). Pulseausio is switched off.

When watching a music video on Youtube, I sometimes (not always) don't have sound although Amarok and KDE happily play music/system sounds.

If I do an rcalsasound restart and then restart firefox, sound in firefox is restored.

I first noticed this when I switched to a different user using "user switching". Without fail, flash in firefox would not produce any sound unless I did an rcalsasound restart and restarted firefox. 

Switching back to the original user, would then require the same treatment in that user session.

Cheers,
 Steve

Info was provide, there are other pulseaudio stutter bugs, so I'll leave this bug to handle the alsa/flash issue.

Comment 8 Forgotten User l5QCzUHucG 2009-02-12 22:34:15 UTC

My workaround for this issue was to completely remove pulseaudio and everything works perfectly now.

Comment 9 Dirk Mueller 2009-02-13 11:21:57 UTC

I don't use pulseaudio, and it works just fine without pulse.
