This is getting very frustrating. As I've said, sound works as user "ernie" in all apps except flash.I have sound in flash as root, so the plugin is there.
# find / libflashplayer* 2> /dev/null | grep libflashplayer /home/ernie/Desktop/install_flash_player_9_linux/libflashplayer.so /home/ernie/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so /home/ernie/.netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins/libflashplayer.so /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so # ls -l /home/ernie/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 ernie users 7040080 Mar 23 22:02 /home/ernie/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so I have device permissions set up properly unless libflashplayer.so uses some device I don't know about. /dev/sound/* are all root:audio and "ernie" is in the audio group. I guess this is obvious because all other audio apps work fine as "ernie". I've been racking my brain and searching for info, but I can't get this working. Please, someone help me out here.
