Flash Jerky, Sound missing

J

I installed flash following the handbook. I put the lines
Code: 
OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f10
OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=f10
in my /etc/make.conf file before I started the process.

At first I had sound, but that no longer works. When I play videos they're jerky and sometimes just stop after several seconds. I rebooted FreeBSd and tried to play a youtube video and it was jerky and no sound.

I downloaded the video and it plays fine in Totem Movie Player, with sound.

XMMS plays streams fine as well.

I've searched through the forums and googled and from what I can tell, the videos should be playing without a problem.

I just installed FreeBSD with just Full Binaries, doc and Kernel sources. Then I updated ports (it said I was current) and installed everything from ports using portmaster.

uname -a:
Code: 
FreeBSD techno.027esc.net 8.0-RELEASE 
FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE #0: Tue Dec 29 06:25:46 PST 2009
/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/TRANCE  i386
 
I switched from gnome to the kde desktop. I got smooth video but no sound. I can play a streamed station in xmms, so I know my sound system is working.
 
Thank you for responding...

I followed the stapes in the handbook:
6.2.3 Firefox and Macromedia® Flash™ Plugin

"The next step is to install the www/linux-f10-flashplugin10 port. This will install Flash 10.X, ..."

AFAIK I installed Flash 10,X. Is there a way to check to be sure?

Thank you.

Code: 
techno# pkg_info | grep flash
swfdec-gnome-2.26.0_1 Gtk flash player and thumbnailer
techno#

I don't think that is the correct version. [CMD="techno# portmaster -D /usr/ports/www/linux-f10-flashplugin10"]resulted in:[/CMD]

Code: 
=> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/flashplugin/10.0r32/.
fetch: ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/flashplugin/10.0r32/install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
=> Couldn't fetch it - please try to retrieve this
=> port manually into /usr/ports/distfiles/flashplugin/10.0r32 and try again.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/www/linux-f10-flashplugin10.

===>>> make failed for www/linux-f10-flashplugin10
===>>> Aborting update

I looked at the ports and it looks like the current version is:
linux-f10-flashplugin-10.0r42.

So my next step it to update the ports and then rerun portmaster?

I need to go to work, so I'll do this tomorrow when I get home.

Thank you again.
