[Klug-general] Flash player sound [NOT-SOLVED]

[nic dan]

Nathan, 
I don't know if you still have this problem
On the Puppy forum many people have been reporting different problems, including browser crashes with Flashplayer v9
Solution was to install v10.1
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
However it seems to be causing a plugin/lib problem to Opera users, but firefox/seamonkey are ok, though some had to update, too
There is a memory monitor component for memory usage, too

OK I have

alsa
alsa-firmware
alsa-oss
alsa-plugins
alsa-utils
libesd0
libpulse-mainloop-glib0
libpulse0
libxine1-pulse

There is an alsa-plugins-pulse but yast says it would cause a conflict with KDE-pure if I install it, mmm OK then doesn't sound good.



I'm not really sure I need to install anything as Flash sound works fine when I run firefox as root, it's got to be a permissions thing, hasn't it?

Konqueror has the same problem too.  

When a flash video is playing npviewer.bin is taking up about 30% CPU time, running under my user.

According to the description of the debian pulseaudio package:



"PulseAudio... is a drop in replacement for the ESD sound server with

much better latency, mixing/re-sampling quality and overall

architecture."



And in Debian there's a pulseaudio-esound-compat package.



Maybe you should try installing PulseAudio to replace as much ESD/esound

stuff as possible.



I'm only going down this track, because while googling to get an idea

about the problem you've got, one person seemed to solve the problem by

installing an ALSA-esd package as I previously suggested.



Unfortunately I'm not at all familiar with Suse.
