Sorry to be stubborn... And this time? The flashplayer-mozilla from debian-multimedia has always worked for me on both both i686 and newer amd64 boxes, including old boxes with just usb audio device. The amd64 unstable version of flashplayer-mozilla from debian multimedia depends upon some ia32 libraries as of current unstable... Right now 1:10.1.53.64-0.0 (i686) or 2:10.1.53.64-0.0 (amd64)... I don't have any other flash player supplier installed, just in case... BTW, alsamixer only shows to me PCM and Auto Gain Control, and that doesn't seem to be a problem... Hope you find what's inhibiting flash to work on your box... And again, sorry to suggest something you already discarded given your experience... -- Javier. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
