Howto fix Firefox Flash Video Sound on Ubuntu Linux Dapper
If after a system update you’ve discovered that streaming Flash is without sound - fear not. Dapper will at times drop the sound from Firefox & Flash, as always you need to search the forums before freaking out as someone has more than likely already experienced the problem and discovered a solution. Trial and error has lead me to the following fix on my system.
sudo aptitude install alsa-oss
sudo gedit /etc/firefox/firefoxrc
FIREFOX_DSP=”aoss”
After making these adjustment you’ll need to visit a site that plays Linux videos to see how well things worked out.

Though this fix worked, I noticed that flash started to hesitate several minutes into a long video (on video.google.com). Firefox crashed after 12 minutes in. It may be my setup, but I wonder if this workaround is making firefox unstable?
June 19th, 2006 at 1:13 am #macewan
Kenny,
What is you cache set to for Flash?
June 19th, 2006 at 11:27 pm #Kenny
It was set to 50mb; I increased it to 100mb. Thanks for the advice.
June 23rd, 2006 at 8:52 pm #aileen
Thanks for posting the fix. It works beautifully.

Firefox, ALSA, Flash, YouTube, Google Video and SOUND!
This one’s been bugging me for a while. I run Firefox on yawl and hunter pretty constantly, and occasionally would like to view some of the videos posted on YouTube or videos.google.com. While the videos have been playing just fine,…

I tried this and it did not help. I have been having other problems with sound as well and have only gotten things to work that have an alsa plug-in or option.

On Breezy:FIREFOX_DSP=”none”
On Dapper: FIREFOX_DSP=”aoss”
Make sure that /dev/dsp exists.
If not then try:
cd /dev
sudo ./MAKEDEV audio
Restart Firefox and check again. If that works then add it to the end of etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh so that it will run on boot.

Flash audio had been working fine on Dapper until I applied this morning’s updates. Sigh…
Your fix didn’t work after restarting Firefox, but did work fine after reboot. Didn’t check just logging out and back in.

ps: first I had to add a new line at sources.list. this one

July 12th, 2006 at 2:55 pm #dougz
Well, the fix stopped working for me. No problem with /dev/dsp –
$ ls -l /dev/dsp
crw-rw—- 1 root audio 14, 3 2006-07-12 11:47 /dev/dsp
$ cat /etc/firefox/firefoxrc
# which /dev/dsp wrapper to use
FIREFOX_DSP=”aoss”
Fresh logout/login with still no sound on flash video.
Tried invoking as “aoss firefox” with no joy, per Flash/No Sound thread —
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=187207
Tried the suggestion (same source)
System - Preferences - Sessions - Startup programs and add
ln -s /tmp/.esd-1000 /tmp/.esd
logged out/in — no joy.
I can live with the flash audio/video synce problems. At least I could listen to flash video in Fedora. Dapper is very disappointing.
Am I SOL or is there anything else I can try?
July 12th, 2006 at 3:04 pm #dougz
Sound back after boot. WTF?
July 13th, 2006 at 5:13 pm #jeremy
wish i’d known about this sooner! i’ve been lamenting the loss of sound since the switchover from xp (extra problems?) to ubuntu - but now that I have my google videos and youtube back, I’m a very happy camper - thanks for the help!

[...] There seems to be better sound support in this latest version. Firefox and Flash on K/Ubuntu are known to have sound problems, but adapting this fix to my 32-bit-Firefox-on-64-bit-Linux-setup, I added a file named “firefoxrc” with just one line (FIREFOX_DSP=”aoss”) to /usr/local/firefox32, forcing Firefox to use the ALSA sound server. Setting the system sound server to ESD allows me to avoid the usual conflicts between the Flash and system sounds. [...]
July 28th, 2006 at 10:53 am #Jordan
Hey all,
Thanks for all the info on this - it’s something that’s been really bugging me about Ubuntu.
I followed the directions but for some reason whenever I used XMMS, the flash sound would STILL cut out. Here’s how I finally fixed it (might work for you if you had the same config in XMMS):
1) Go to Options -> Preferences in XMMS
2) Click on [Configure] for ALSA output plugin (under Audio I/O Plugins)
3) Ensure the “Audio Device” is set to “default” and not the name of your actual sound chipset (mine was set to “SiS” chipset and then had (hw:0,0) listed). I think this is because it tries to take exclusive control of the same device file as Firefox and it can’t. Now I can play XMMS, Xine, and Flash sound at the same time!! Woohoo! (Welcome to the 90’s!!) =p
That is what seemed to keep Firefox flash sound from coming up, even after the above fix. I hope this helps people who are/were in my situation!!

I’m having the crashing firefox after 12 minutes problem mentioned above. Apparently the solution is to increase the flash cache. How do I do this?
Oddly, when I right click on flash to go to options the text is missing. This is also true of google video — clicking on preferences shows a menu sans text. Am I missing a font package or something for flash? Thanks
September 7th, 2006 at 4:46 am #Thomas David Baker
Danny - I think what there were saying is that it’s Firefox’s cache that needs to be increased. You can do this in Firefox at: Edit, Preferences, Privacy, Cache and increase the number (usually 50) to 100, or more.
September 10th, 2006 at 6:55 pm #Eric Bandholz

To avoid logging out, after editing /etc/firefox/firefoxrc execute the command ‘export FIREFOX_DSP=”aoss”‘ or ’source /etc/firefox/firefoxrc’ in your terminal and restart Firefox from that terminal.
Of course, you’ll have to do this every time until you log out again, but it’s better than having to set everything back up.

Fedora 7 & Ubuntu 7.04 Flash Player 9 no-sound fix
————————————————–
With Fedora Core 4, sound is enabled using libflashsupport.so
However it crashes way too often. Luckily, we no longer need libflashsupport.so in newer distros (more importantly - no crashes).
With latest distros using Gnome, under System->Administration->Soundcard Detection, launch “Audio configuration” window.
***Example sound driver***
In “Sound test” tab, under “Device settings”, change
“PCM device” from “ES1370 DAC2/ADC” to “ES1370 DAC1″
In “Settings” tab, under “Default audio devices”, change
“Default PCM device” from “ES1370 DAC2/ADC” to “ES1370 DAC1″
In “System” tab, under “Configuration files”, press “Rewrite configuration files” button
Reboot & let me know if it works for you.

I got it working with Flash 7. With the new flash 9 was impossible to make it work I dunno why.
In my Dell laptop works correctly for both, but be adviced that with some integrated sound cards flash 9 is making a bad use of the ALSA libraries.
In some cases here we had to change the sound card to make flash sound work (Something that is just too much !)
