 |
|
Hi,
I was using ALSA for a long time - audio in Flash worked.
After I switched to pulseaudio+ALSA (needed Skype) - audio in Flash worked.
Now I unmerged pulseaudio and I'm using apulse for Skype. Audio in Flash doesn't work.
I have this in my .asoundrc:
| Code: |
defaults.pcm.!card PCH
defaults.pcm.!device 0
|
which corresponds to my aplay -L output.
What am I doing wrong?
Flash in firefox works perfectly.

Hi SemmZemm,
If PCH is the naming on your first soundcard, you probably don't need that .asoundrc as the defaults in /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf will just default to hw:0,0.
Have you tried disabling Chrome's pepperflash and instead using the system installed flash plugin firefox is using?
Suggestion: using lsof grepping chrome and see what it's using from alsa (asound) and pulse. I'm not a pulse user, but having tsched=0 in /etc/pulse/* has caused issues for others before.
Google-chrome binary may be still trying to use pulse library routines (libpulse.so.0). |

It was my last resort. At the beginning I had no .asoundrc

I tried to disable pepperflash but I don't know how to enable system flash plugin. Isn't it because it's npapi. Chrome doesn't support npapi anymore, only ppapi

Indeed, it uses both libasound.so and libpulse.so. Last one is installed with media-sound/apulse-0.1.2 which I need for skype.
Is there a way to force chrome use ALSA instead of apulse? |

chromium.. I like too much some proprietary chrome stuff.
But thank you for the idea with hexedit. It works now. Works for me as temporary workaround. I hope it will be fixed in the future versions.
Thank you a lot! |

You're welcome.  Although I was hoping to offer a better option than a hack. Maybe mark the topic solved as others may well benefit from this and/or find a better workaround. |

I'm not even sure it's a bug. Chrome tries to use pulse by default. I have apulse which is reduced version of pulse, installed just to support skype. It's possible that it doesn't support everything chrome needs. |

| well, I guess it is because I never had pulseaudio installed, and since I installed apulse (for the same reasons) sound doesn't work at all in google-chrome, and works just fine with everything else (skype, firefox, vlc,,...). I suggest to change the subject as it appears to be a apulse bug and to report it to apulse devs (they at least will identify the problem...) |

| Eh, maybe. One dev responded with the same suggestion I had to disable pulseaudio flag on chromium. But they overlooked anyone using the google-chrome blob depending on it (for those who don't wish the build chromium route). I think a better upstream solution (that Google most likely won't do) is a command line switch to disable pulseaudio use. |
