Sound does work for everything else, just not flash. I can cat a .au file to /dev/dsp and it works (as root, or a user, since I am in the audio group). I can also play music CDs with XFreeCD with no problem. When I run a flash program, however, the speakers are silent. Well, almost silent -- if I turn the volume all the way up I can hear some buzzing and clicking in the background, but nothing more.
I had not been running alsa when I last posted, but I installed it yesterday, after I did an apt-get upgrade and got the new (7.0.25) version of flash. The results are the same, however.
I am running:
2.4.24-1-k7 kernel (debian stock kernel) Mozilla Firefox 0.8 Opera 7.50 flashplugin-nonfree 7.0.25-4 alsa-base 1.0.5a-1 alsa-utils 1.0.5a-1 libasound2 1.0.5a-1
I am NOT running arts. I do NOT use KDE, or gnome. I use fvwm2 as my window manager.
I Can 'cat /dev/dsp' without any errors about the file being busy.
Since I am in the audio group and can 'cat' files to /dev/dsp all the suggestions about changing permissions do not apply and do not help.
Does anyone have any other suggestions as to what will get me sound in flash? I would like for my daughter to be able to play flash games on nick.com, but without sound they arn't real useful.
