No sound in flashplayer video

jewsofeast · Apr 11, 2011

Hi,

I installed www/linux-flashplugin10 but I don't get any sound from flash. I've already checked the forums for similar threads but I can't find anything suitable.

Here are my stats for libflashsupport -

Code:

FreeBSD-82# /usr/compat/linux/bin/sh /usr/compat/linux/usr/bin/ldd /usr/compat/linux/usr/lib/libflashsupport.so

Can someone please help?

Sound works in other applications? If you run firefox from a terminal, and go to a flash page, does it give you any errors on the terminal?

adamk:

Sound works on system.

I get this error on youtube -

Code:

*** NSPlugin Viewer  *** WARNING: unhandled variable 18 (<unknown variable>) in NPN_GetValue()

Best,

jewsofeast · Apr 11, 2011

I don't get the above error after changing

Code:

dom.ipc.plugins.enabled;true

in 'about:config'

jewsofeast · Apr 12, 2011

Can someone please help me sort this out.

Thanks,

dave

davidgurvich · Apr 12, 2011

You're going to need to provide more information. Which version of FreeBSD are you running? Have you started the linuxulator and mounted the linux proc system? Does sound work on your system at all?

jewsofeast · Apr 12, 2011

Hi,

I have already answered that the sound works on my box. I am running FreeBSD-8.2-amd64. I've configured everything as per the handbook & linproc is mounted.

best,

dave

davidgurvich · Apr 12, 2011

Do you have a lib32 directory? I think 32-bit compatibility is part of GENERIC.

jewsofeast · Apr 12, 2011

Yeah, I got /usr/local/lib32 & /usr/lib32.

davidgurvich · Apr 12, 2011

Should be working, check for typos in /etc/fstab, rc.conf, and loader.conf. Have you updated the linux_base from something else and is compat.linux.osrelease: 2.6.16? I actually use the nspluginwrapper-devel port. I don't think that's the problem though.

Have you tried removing the flashplayer, nspluginwrapper, linux_base and reinstalling? Before reinstalling update the ports tree.

jewsofeast · Apr 12, 2011

I guess I can do that but I don't want compat in /.

adamk · Apr 12, 2011

Have you tried flash video from multiple websites?

Adam

jewsofeast · Apr 13, 2011

Yes, I did. The sound in flash doesn't work at all.

davidgurvich · Apr 13, 2011

You don't install the linux compat files in slash, that's just a symbolic link.

jewsofeast · Apr 14, 2011

To my knowledge they install there by default.

davidgurvich · Apr 14, 2011

On my system [cmd=]ls -ld /compat[/cmd] shows /compat to be a symlink. I'm not sure when /compat became a symlink but certainly for 8.X and above.

jewsofeast · Apr 16, 2011

I reinstalled flashplayer, nspluginwrapper & linux_base but it still doesn't work. In addition, I installed it on other machine but there is no sound in it as well.

jewsofeast · May 27, 2011

The sound in flashplayer is fixed by adding

Code:

hw.snd.default_unit=1
hw.snd.compat_linux_mmap=1

to /etc/sysctl.conf. I changed output device preference to /dev/dsp1 in phonon.

Acetilene · May 4, 2013

Hi guys! I'm in the same conditions... I'm using Flash Player 10.1 on FreeBSD 9.1 (32 bit) but I have no sound on any browser. Obviously I have already checked if the sound works correctly in other applications. I can't use the latest Flash Player version because it makes the browser crash (it happened on this machine with Linux too) but with an older version I never had any problems until now... For installing the plugin I have followed these steps:

First I have removed the Flash Player 11 version, then I have downloaded the 10.1 version (Linux-32) and I have moved libflashplayer.so to /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins, then I have installed the plugin with nspluginwrapper -v -a -i.
I have already tried to add these 2 lines on /etc/sysctl.conf but it doesn't work:

Code:

hw.snd.default_unit=1
hw.snd.compat_linux_mmap=1

Have you an idea?

Please, show following output:
% cat /dev/sndstat

Acetilene · May 5, 2013

Code:

FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 32bit 2009061500/i386)
Installed devices:
pcm0: <VIA VT8233A> (play/rec) default

cpm@ · May 5, 2013

Your sound card is listed as pcm0 device. Optionally, you can add in /boot/loader.conf

Code:

hw.snd.default_unit=0

Remove Linux mmap compatibility variable from /etc/sysctl.conf

Code:

# sysctl -d hw.snd.compat_linux_mmap
hw.snd.compat_linux_mmap: linux mmap compatibility (-1=force disable 0=auto 1=force enable)

Reinstall all ALSA related stuff, to know which ALSA ports you have installed run # pkg_info -Ix alsa.

No sound in flashplayer video
