Genus, Da Fox, etc: I'm getting the same intermittent sound issues. For me, it seems like about half a second of sound gets stuck in an infinite loop. Video components continue on normally. I think I first noticed this yesterday (I manually installed Flash 9 last Wednesday - no ebuild). This seems to crop up most often when I do something CPU intensive, such as starting an emerge or even an equery operation. Running on AMD64 here. Something is definitely amiss! |

I installed this beta version and worked fine. However, on the latest portage update there were alsa-lib, alsa-headers and alsa-utils packages for upgrading to their 1.0.13 versions, and I couldn't hear anything if some other application was using the sound device. So I downgraded again to 1.0.11 to get it working as it should, but was wondering if any other one has experienced the same problem, just in case those packages (or any of them) didn't compile correctly. I'm on AMD64 and KDE (without arts).
Greetings.

I had this when ALSA 1.0.13 went stable on x86 and upgraded in my 32-bit chroot, but not in the "real" root, so the driver was still on 1.0.11. I think this would also happen if you're using the in-kernel ALSA driver and you're on a version that doesn't have 1.0.13 yet (I think 2.6.17 has 1.0.11). AIUI 2.6.18 has ALSA 1.0.13, so try upgrading the libs etc when you upgrade the kernel (I think 2.6.18 will be going stable soon, that's why 1.0.13 was stabled). |

I also upgraded to alsa-lib-1.0.13 and alsa-headers-1.0.13, but I did not experience any problems, everything is exactly as it was before

I tried upgrading again and still happens, but only when running a flash site, I can hear sound at the same time with xine, audacious and mplayer for example. But if I open a flash site straight afterwards, then there's no sound for flash. If the flash site is the first to use the sound device, then there's no sound for anything else.
I'll wait for stable 2.6.18 gentoo-sources and then I'll upgrade those packages, many thanks for your answers!.

Hi,
I also tried installing flash9 and but it seems that youtube and others won't work with opera. if i try with firefox, it does...
running i get:
| Code: |
...
opera: [plugin path ] #001: /opt/opera/lib/opera/plugins
opera: Search operapluginwrapper: [Ok] /opt/opera/lib/opera/plugins/operapluginwrapper
(process:26715): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:2240: initialization assertion failed, use IA__g_type_init() prior to this function
(process:26715): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_clipboard_get_for_display: assertion `GDK_IS_DISPLAY (display)' failed
Adobe FlashPlayer: gtk_clipboard_get(GDK_SELECTION_PRIMARY); failed. Trying to call gtk_init(0,0);
The program '<unknown>' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
(Details: serial 3140 error_code 3 request_code 2 minor_code 0)
...

anyone out there with similar problems? |

well, that isn't the problem. even for example youtube works (though not with perfect sound sync and not in fullscreen).
but when i update to flash9... it is detected perfectly in the options and on the adobe page. but if i want to use it, it gives me the error mentioned above and the space where it should be displayed goes grey...
so now i went back to flash7, but would be happy if anyone had a hint... |

I'm using Opera 9.02. And now finally I disabled this f****ing Flash-Plugin.
With netscape-flash 7 opera was getting very slow when loading the flash plugin. This didn't improve with with Version Flash version 9.x.
But now terribly this flash thing breaks my opera. Sometimes my opera freezes and gives me a 98% CPU usage. Only solution: killall opera and restart opera. It's not reproduceable. It appears sometimes after starting opera for some secondes sometimes it never appears in 2 hours. But it sucks really because it happens most when I'm writing an email or fill in something.
And if I need Flash, I'll start Firefox. Because even with the newest Flash plugin not every Flash video is working in opera. Youtube worked for me, google-video did not. On other pages it worked sometimes.
So what's the problem? Is it opera or is it netscape-flash? But when I think about it for a while Flash basically sucks. |

|
|
I too am having trouble with sound in flash, but a slightly different set of circumstances. First, I am on amd64, but using the mozilla-firefox-bin package. When I first installed netscape-flash 9 it worked great. Then I removed XMMS from my system (as it's being yanked from portage), still had sound (though I never restarted firefox to see if it still worked). Rebooted as I was being lazy and needed the new nVidia driver. And now no sound with flash, regardless of site or video duration.
Any ideas, is removing XMMS tied to my lack of sound in flash? |

I had the same experience. No sound with alsa-lib/headers/utils versions 1.0.13. Downgrading to versions 1.0.12 and Flash 9 has sound!
edit: So, I ditched ALSA that's bundled with the kernel, upgraded everything to 1.0.13 and Flash 9 works just fine.
I'm on x86 btw so this might not apply to you any... bleh.

waaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,
Opera seems to adapt windows traditions. I'm beginning to hate opera.
I tried to deactivate flash in opera. So I deleted the link of the flash-plugin from /opt/netscape/plugins to /opt/opera/lib/opera/plugins.
I changed the search path for the plugins in opera (Tools->Preferences->Advanced->Content->Plugin-Options). Also I changed all the mime-types with flash from "Using the plugin" to "Ask what to do". I searched in my home directory for any flash configuration (cd ~/.opera, grep -i flash $(find .) ) and edited all config files (opera6.ini) I found.
And for what? After restarting opera, this nasty piece of code shows me again every flash commercial, it added by itself the path to /opt/netscape/plugins and restored every flash mime type. And for thanking my efforts, opera crashed after a short while because of this terrible f***cking nasty horrible flash plugin.
If I want this behaviour that the system is automatically undoing my settings then I will install Windows (TM).
How can I force opera to do what _I_ want? |

I think I have the excact same problem! It starts out nice, and then suddenly the sound stops and the video stops shortly after that. If I skip a little the video will play for a few seconds and stop again, no sound. This is really weird!

not sure if it is a alsa problem i just know that restarting alsa and everything its attached too fixes the problem temporarly. and the only reason i know that is because one of the times it froze up it also stopped my music player and i had to restart alsa to get sound back.
btw they updated the linux beta on the 18th so if your still running on the version from the 10th then you might want to get the newest version.

Yeah exactly the same issue here. Stupid flash :/. I just wish there wasn't so much interesting stuff made for the damn thing.

When this happens, do you have any other movies loaded in other tabs/windows/browsers? |

Not always. However loading up firefox and going straight to a flash video seems to lower the chance of the video/sound pause issue. I'm not really sure how to go about working out what the issue is. With a bit of persistence I can eventually see the whole clip, but not without some measure of frustration hehe.
