I don't get any sound from flashmovies (as from newgrounds or any other source). And sometimes I can't see the text from them either (I've install the ms-fonts packagE)

help plz

You might try running your browser with a sound wrapper, for example, artsdsp has worked for me. To do so, run (this is assuming you use Firefox):
martin@debian: artsdsp firefox

It should start normally. This allows you to run sound at the same time as another app.

Sadly, it didn't help.

Well it's blind guessing, don't you agree?

First, close your browser windows (and Firefox download manager), next, kill all your sound daemons:

pkill -9 artsd
pkill -9 esd

(Dunno what sound daemon you're using.)

Then, start Firefox and try again. If that won't work, it's probably not a problem with access to the sound device (well, at least, you get sound in other programs, don't you?). Given your problems with your fonts, maybe it's related to the Flash plugin you're using.

It's not the sound card, I can play music and stuff. It's problaby the flash-plugin but I don't know how to fixit.

You can try to edit the /etc/mozilla-firefox/mozilla-firefoxrc file. I changed my to read

Code: Select all

# which /dev/dsp wrapper to use
FIREFOX_DSP=none

That solved sound issues for me.

I'm not sure what to suggest to fix the text issues.

In mozilla, not Firefox, I have this settings into /etc/mozilla/mozillarc:

Code: Select all

This file was generated by debconf automatically.
# And you can copy this file to ~/.mozillarc to override.
MOZILLA_DSP=none
MOZILLA_LOCALE_AUTO=true

But, there is no sound, any ideas?

The Virus,

I'm glad it worked for you.

Aris,

That is the same as what I have with one exception. There should be a leading # on the first line. I assume it's actually there, it just didn't get selected during the copy. Sound in Mozilla works fine for me, so I don't know what to suggest. Sorry
