Flash playing too fast

N

nackpere

I have the latest version of Flash from ports installed on 8.2-Release. While Flash videos load, after a few seconds they begin playing very fast at 2x-4x regular speed. This happens with every website I've visited, and in both Firefox and Opera. Any ideas on how to fix this?
 
Is your sound working independent of flash? I have a problem that sounds similar. Unloading and reloading the sound module from the kernel after each reboot is a workaround.

% sudo kldunload snd_hda
% sudo kldload snd_hda

Note, you will have to supply your sound module.
 
I currently have the sound modules built into my kernel, but I supposed I could load them as modules instead and see if that helps.
 
Problem Solved

I figured out the problem. I have an nVidia card and FreeBSD defaults to using the sound chip on the card instead of the one on the motherboard, as seen in this excerpt from dmesg:

Code: 
pcm0: <HDA NVidia (Unknown) PCM #0 DisplayPort> at cad 0 nid 1 on hdac0
pcm1: <HDA NVidia (Unknown) PCM #0 DisplayPort> at cad 1 nid 1 on hdac0
pcm2: <HDA NVidia (Unknown) PCM #0 DisplayPort> at cad 2 nid 1 on hdac0
pcm3: <HDA NVidia (Unknown) PCM #0 DisplayPort> at cad 3 nid 1 on hdac0
hdac1: HDA Codec #0: Realtek ALC662
pcm4: <HDA Realtek ALC662 PCM #0 Analog> at cad 0 nid 1 on hdac1
pcm5: <HDA Realtek ALC662 PCM #1 Digital> at cad 0 nid 1 on hdac1

So what I had to do was change the default sound unit in /boot/loader.conf to the one on the motherboard by adding the following line:

Code: 
hw.snd.default_unit="4"

And now everything plays at normal speed.
