Greg,

That same thread talks about getting an older version of flash player 9 from 
the Adobe archives 
(http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=2). 
I found that the library in the tarball flashplayer9r115_linux.tar.gz didn't 
have the colour problem. Placed in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ after removing any 
flash-plugin RPM.

Subject: Re: [SunRay-Users] Redhat Enterprise 5.1 and sound

Yes sound is now working for MP3's and Flash (followed the Flash steps as 
well).  However, the Gnome system sounds (login, logout, error messages, etc) 
do not work.  I don't think our users would care, but just weird......

Now if only there was a fix for the Flash color smurfing....

As per Bob Doolittle's request I have added what I did to solve my sound issues 
to the Wiki:

> Gnome complains there's no audio device/mixer
Yes. I still have that too. But it doesn't matter. The volume applet works 
nontheless. And also the volume controls in applications such as Amarok or 
Exaile work OK.


> To do this I had to remove Redhat's gstreamer-plugins-good (file conflict)
I didn't have to do that. But this might depend on the distro. I used both RHEL 
5.2 and CentOS 5.2 and the appropriate repos for these releases. Might be that 
there are minor differences between 5.1 and 5.2

Did you install any MP3 player? Does the sound work in there?

Regards,
DJM.

I found the thread, no problem...  My question is, what solution to follow to 
fix the issue.  I installed the repos and did a yum install of 
gstreamer-plugins-ugly/bad..  To do this I had to remove Redhat's 
gstreamer-plugins-good (file conflict).  I rebooted not I can't even attempt to 
use sound.  Gnome complains there's no audio device/mixer.  Or is the fox to do 
the rpm source of esd removing ALSA?

How aware is Sun of this issue?  Does anyone know if they are working on a 
proper fix?  We were hoping to roll SunRay's out in lieu of desktops for some 
users, but not having proper sound would make this a much harder sell.

I know sound is broken in Flash so I don't bother.

As someone already pointed out: Use the archive's search engine and search for 
this thread from February 4:


" [SOLVED] -- Re: SRSS 4.1 on RHEL 5.2 and CentOS 5.2: DTU's play no sound "
It's all explained in there. And yes, now even Flash works tip top (as per 
explanation in one of the last postings in that thread).

I can now use my DTU's to listen to shoutcast MP3 radio stations (e.g. with 
programs such as Exaile) and use web sites such as Last.FM (thanks to sound in 
Flash working now). Very nice stuff! :)


Regards,
DJM.
