Hi, I upgraded to 11.1 32bit system on my desktop computer, and now sound doesn't work on sites with streaming audio such as youtube or news websites when I use Firefox. The sound works normally otherwise. I have used the one click multimedia installation from opensuse-community for installation of players and codecs. I have kde 3.5 installed. Would anyone be able to help me figure out why this isn't working?

I'm assuming that the video plays fine, right? Just out of curiosity - do you have a secondary media player such as Amarok loaded already? I have found in the past - that you can't play both. I just tested in 11.1 on my other laptop and am able to have both loaded. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes, the video plays fine, just no sound on youtube. On other streaming audio sites with embedded player, there is no video of course but the indications that the stream is downloading and should be playing are correct.

No, nothing else is playing or loaded up on the desktop.

I had similar problem when I installed 11.1. I was all ready to mail the list when I checked the volume control in the flash component on the page and found that the volume was set to 0 for some reason. Fresh install onto disk, preserving the old /home partition. I can't see a reason for that, but it was an easy fix.

I already checked that, and checked kmixer, and tried alsa conf before I posted. I am certainly not above missing the obvious, but in this case that wasn't the problem. Strangest of all, the sound just started to work.

Check your plugins, it should be a shockwave flash there. Or try check if libflashplayer.so is there on /usr/lib/browser-plugins/ HTH regards, medwinz -- G.

It sound strange, but yes it happened before. Try remove that libflashsupport (use yast). And reboot your computer. Then there will an update with version 10.0 r15.

I just tried a youtube site again without changing anything, before I did the action you described above. All of a sudden the sound started working. It hasn't worked since I installed 11.1 yesterday, go figure.

I tried to reboot the computer after updating libflashsupport, then the sound was gone again. When it did work a little while ago I would get a loud 60hz pop from the audio before it would start to play. Either way it didn't really work right. I deleted libflashsupport in yast and rebooted the computer, now the sound plays fine. No pop, good audio. I hope it works the next time I reboot! Thanks!
