I have this problem with all of three of the flash players. Here is my bug post. Someone decided that my problem is the same as this bug, but on this bug page people are only discussing nonfree and also not the other related issues. Gosh, and how many people besides me listen to music while browsing the web? I never noticed how many pages have embedded flash video until this problem.
Bug #229214 Sound in flash only works if I have no other programs running sound output. For example, I can have VLC, Rhythmbox and Totem Movie Player all running with all having sound output, but there will be no sound output from flash videos. If I close all other sound output programs and restart Firefox, then flash will have sound. However, nothing else will output sound until I close Firefox, even if I close the flash tab and have no pages open. Usually I have to end the Firefox process after closing the window. I have used three of the different flash players and always the same result. I completely uninstall the flash players in Synaptic and install through dialog box in Firefox. -- Sound stops working in Firefox once other applications (Pidgin, Rhythmbox) have played sound https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/183917 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
