I finally got flash working acceptable again... :) It seems that some changes I had made to /etc/pulse/default.pa CREATED the problems with flash playback...
I discovered that playing other video files (in VLC / Gnome Player (Mplayer) etc.) were also slow/sluggish... I had kept the original /etc/pulse/default.ca file as /etc/pulse/default.ca.org so I just tried copying it back and restarting PulseAudio and it now works as it should... :) I was loading audio drivers statically instead of letting hal-detect do the job and that seemed (for me) to cause the problem... This is the part of /etc/pulse/default.ca that I had EDITED: ### Load audio drivers statically (it's probably better to not load ### these drivers manually, but instead use module-hal-detect -- ### see below -- for doing this automatically) load-module module-alsa-sink load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:1,0 load-module module-oss device="/dev/dsp" sink_name=output source_name=input load-module module-oss-mmap device="/dev/dsp" sink_name=output source_name=input load-module module-null-sink load-module module-pipe-sink ### Automatically load driver modules depending on the hardware available #.ifexists module-hal-detect.so #load-module module-hal-detect tsched=0 #.else ### Alternatively use the static hardware detection module (for systems that ### lack HAL support) #load-module module-detect #.endif And this is the same part of the DEFAULT /etc/pulse/default.ca file (THIS IS HOW IT "SHOULD" LOOK LIKE): ### see below -- for doing this automatically) #load-module module-alsa-sink #load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:1,0 #load-module module-oss device="/dev/dsp" sink_name=output source_name=input #load-module module-oss-mmap device="/dev/dsp" sink_name=output source_name=input #load-module module-null-sink #load-module module-pipe-sink ### Automatically load driver modules depending on the hardware available .ifexists module-hal-detect.so load-module module-hal-detect tsched=0 .else ### Alternatively use the static hardware detection module (for systems that ### lack HAL support) load-module module-detect .endif PLEASE DON'T BEGIN EDITING /etc/pulse/default.ca if You haven't done that before... I'm only posting this for people who MIGHT have made the same changes to that file... -- flash plugin 10 is extremely slow ! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286673 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
