Swfdec - Aug 2008 - [Bug 17015] New: no sound playing in Firefox

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17015

           Summary: no sound playing in Firefox
           Product: swfdec
           Version: 0.6.0
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: plugin
        AssignedTo: swfdec at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: okeefe at cybermesa.com
         QAContact: swfdec at lists.freedesktop.org


When trying to play any youtube video I get no sound.
Version is 0.6.0 and the plugin is:
    File name: libswfdecmozilla.so
    Shockwave Flash 9.0 r100

I'm running Ubuntu 8.04  on a TiBook PowerPC. I have tried different sound
servers but the only one that plays for any other app is OSS so maybe that's
the problem.
I installed both swfdec-gnome and swfdec-mozilla  from the Ubuntu repositories
so I can't give much configuration info.

This looks like an issue with pulseaudio, could you please take a look at
"Alsa
Configuration" in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio and see if after the
changes you have a working setup?

I tried the pulse audioroute on the wiki and only got some audio in stand alone
apps. Still nothing in Firefox with any media plugin, including swfdec. The
pulse configuration finally crashed my sound for everything so I disabled it
after several hours.

This could be the firefox dsp thing under Known Issues in the same wiki page.

Could you please check that you have a mp3 decoder for gstreamer, which means
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly or gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3? you should see a
missing decoder message if you run firefox from the console.

thanks for the reply.
this has morphed into a more serious issue. I do have the plugins needed but in
trying to get pulseaudio working I now have no sound at all, including after
uninstalling pulseaudio. I have tried going back to alsa config as before but
only occasional and intermitent sound. I realize that this is not a swfdec
issue though the embedded viewer may be.

I'm closing this, once you have a working audio setup feel free to reopen /
file a new bug if you have issues.
