[opensuse-factory] No audio on YouTube
I just tried watching video from YouTube with Firefox. While I get video, there is no audio. I also can't play .MP3s. What's missing that prevents playing audio? I have 12.1 RC1 installed on a ThinkPad E520. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

It should have to be there anyway.

For some reason it's now working. No idea why. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
James: I was seeing this in Konqueror 4.7.2 and I fixed it by changing view mode from KHTML to Webkit . I was not getting Video either just a black box. Not sure if you can do that in Firefox. On Tuesday, October 25, 2011 11:08:12 AM James Knott wrote:

Webkit in Konq is the default on a new install (since RC1, I think).

Will: The above comment to James was on 11.4. I will check my 12.1 rc 1 to see what is default. Thanks for your information. Russ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Should be the same with the other 4.7.2 packages we provide. If your kwebkitpart package is 1.2.0git20111013 or newer it has the higher initialPreference value that weights it above khtml. Possibly KR47 has not yet updated links to it.

It seems existing installations are also automatically switched to webkit - at least on my system (which is zypper dup'ed since some releases) Konqueror uses webkit now. The bad news is that Konqueror with webkit seems to be quite unstable - I got several crashes since about RC1, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=726198 Regards, Christian Boltz -- Naja, zumindest war Maxtor "weitsichtig": mit einer 48bit-Adressierung kann man 134217728 GB (128 Petabyte) ansprechen, das sollte eigentlich fuer ein paar Jaehrchen reichen, oder? ;)) [David Haller in suse-linux] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

The most likely case is you are using PA as the default backend while you didn't installed alsa-plugins-pulse (or didn't set up for it). Then FireFox will access the sound via ALSA-native way and it blocks PA, or vice versa.
