I have no sound whatsoever. This has been the case for some time, but I've been unable to find the problem and Google hasn't been much help either. There's lots of mentions of 64bit systems running into this, but both of my machines are running in 32bit mode (one is AMD64 desktop, the other is a Intel Centrino laptop). Does anyone have some ideas as to what I'm missing here? I'm kinda desperate at this point as I'm about to go on a very long tour through Europe and I won't have time to troubleshoot this sorta thing then. Did you run alsaconf, and redo your mixer settings? What sound card do you have? It should be a thing that JustWorks(tm), in my case I had no configuration to do whatsoever. alan -- Optimists say the glass is half full, Pessimists say the glass is half empty, Developers say wtf is the glass twice as big as it needs to be?

Interestingly enough, running aos firefox results in a command not found error, and even more interestingly, /dev/dsp doesn't exist for me. I'm not really sure how mplayer and amarok can work without it, but it does. Any explanations from you thoughtful folks? Given that I use alsa, is this likely the problem I'm having with no sound in Flash? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Sound doesn't work in Flash
Indeed, it the daemon should be running in order to the sound to work (did in my case), see if there is an option for a more verbose output or something like that. 2007/9/5, Daniel [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Here's what I have: KDE (Konqueror Firefox) Sound works in mplayer Sound works in amarok I'm using alsa I'm not using arts I'm not using esd My USE flags include gstreamer Flash video works Flash audio is completely silent Here's what I've tried: # emerge netscape-flash $ rm -r ~/.mozilla (and other firefox-ish or macromedia dirs) Restarting the box Creating a new user and starting a KDE session as that user On September 5, 2007 03:04:23 pm Rafael Barrera Oro wrote: I had a similar problem, sound began working when i emerged the enlightened sound daemon I just tried that with no success.
