          Firefox can open and play flash files, but there is no sound - but the problem only exists under KDE. Performing the same operation under a different GUI environment like Fluxbox finds everything working OK. I am using the flashplayer-mozilla plugin.
 
 
I was bitten yesterday by  the artsd bug in KDE, but followed the helpful suggestions in the forum and rolled libasound back to its previous version:
 
 
http://kanotix.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t ... sound.html
 
 
Now system sounds work again. Sound applications like amarok work fine. But flash files opened inside Firefox do not play sound - but only, again, under KDE.
 
 
Anyone else experiencing this problem, and have suggestions of a fix? Thanks! |

          Hi!
 
 
I had the same problem. Removing the mozilla .plugin folder (for you maybe remove the plugin first) and
 
 
Code: 
apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
 
 
 
fixed it for me. |

          | Works here too! I removed the 'apt-pinning' and allowed libasound to upgrade to the latest version, and all is well now. Thanks! |
