fwiw, both my flash and pepperflash plugin/addons are up to day
But that doesn't mean they are working as designed. Most of my sound
problems come from *flash* not properly releasing the device when
finished.
ps auxw | grep flash
next time your sound device isn't responding properly, then kill -9 the
PID of the flash process.
Here it's usually Seamonkey or Chrome that hung up.
HTH
Hey, Rinaldi, if I
[daniel@localhost ~]$ ps auxw | grep flash
I get
daniel 11700 0.0 0.0 12160 668 pts/2 D+ 19:31 0:00 grep
--color flash [daniel@localhost ~]$
That appears to be the PID of the grep process.
(Note: the flash following color is in a pretty pink colour!)
I didn't think I had Flash installed! But just checked SM Add-ons
Manager an it's showing I have "YouTube Flash Video Player 36.0
installed!! Is this working in place of normal Flash??
I'm confused. You say earlier that you have flash and pepperflash
installed.
Should my sound be working, or not??
According to the output of the grep command there is nothing using flash
in any capacity so I'd say it is something other than an addon if your
sound was not working when you made the post.
To see what is using your sound system you might try:
sudo fuser -v/dev/snd/*
This should provide (depending on your system's file structure)
something like:
$ sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
USER PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/controlC0: rinaldi 1468 F.... kded4 rinaldi 1656 F....
kmix
/dev/snd/controlC1: rinaldi 1468 F.... kded4 rinaldi 1656 F....
kmix
/dev/snd/seq: root 1208 F.... timidity
Here that is normal output showing no problems. See what yours looks like.
Sound problems can be fun to solve. Especially when it is sometimes
working and sometimes not. That it works sometimes leads me to believe
is is just a hung process. The problem is finding which one.
Thanks for responding, Ranaldi, but, as suggested elsewhere, I'll start
another thread ..... maybe when Mageia V5 is released in the near future
... if sound still fails (intermittently) then!!
