The problem is a little more complicated. Case 1. Default installation & asound.conf from bug #198453
a) Flash audio will play, but still hogs the sound card and does not show on the PulseAudio Volume Control applet. Checking .xsession-errors after flash playback shows the following line: ALSA lib pcm.c:2106:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so b) mplayer with forced ALSA output - does not work. $ mplayer -ao alsa /usr/share/example-content/ubuntu\ Sax.ogg (snip) [AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm.c:2106:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so [AO_ALSA] Playback open error: No such file or directory Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound. Audio: no sound Video: no video (snip) Case 2. Default installation, libasound2-plugins & asound.conf from bug #198453 a) Flash does not produce audio output. Checking .xsession-errors does not show the error in Case 1. b) mplayer with forced ALSA output - audio works, no error messages. $ mplayer -ao alsa /usr/share/example-content/ubuntu\ Sax.ogg (snip) AO: [alsa] 44100Hz 2ch s16le (2 bytes per sample) Video: no video Starting playback... (snip) Conclusion: the proposal in bug #198453 *requires* libasound2-plugins package to be installed, helps with some applications but it still does not fix Flash, unfortunately. -- firefox crashes on flash contents https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192888 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
