You probably use Adobe flashplayer. Its last version seemed to be bugged. You can wait a new version or try gnash.

[manzur (sl-solaris)]

ok, but this is not happening in ms windows,m why do we have this bug under linux?

[delance (olivier-delance)]

Probably because Adobe is more interested to provide a good plugin for Windows that for Linux, which is less widespread, which explains why there is two concurrent projects to provide a free plugin (gnash ans swf something).

My answer was based on complains see via Google about Firefox, but perhaps your problem is not the same of other people.

[manzur (sl-solaris)]

so what files do you need to know my issue deeper

[delance (olivier-delance)]

OK.

I read that Epiphany and Firefox shares the same plugins, and there are three available plugins :
   adobe propriatary plugin
   gnash promoted by FSF
   swfdec written by another team
All are accessible via System->Administration->Synaptic.

I have just installed Epiphany on my computer and open both Firefox and Epiphany on the same flash video... and the sound is OK. I try youtube on Epiphany and the sound is OK.

Apologize to Adobe. Their plugin seems to be good.

You have a 64 bits system instead I have a 32 bits. It could be specific to 64 bits (actually, i do not know).

1)

Did it happen following :
   an installation from CD of Jaunty
   a migration from 8.10 to Jaunty via Synaptic
   an update of packages

2)

In Firefox : Tools->Modules, my shockwave flash is 10.0 r22, and yours ? (it's the same shared plugin between epiphany and firefox)

3)

Which types of multimedia content is displayed by Firefox (text or another flash content) ?

4)

Could be related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-lib/+bug/371895.
Is the sound working on firefox when it displays flash content.

I will do some research on google before assigning this bug to a package.

1. an installation from CD of Jaunty
2. Let me see and I will tell you ;)
3. another flash content
4. I do n ot think so because I do not have USB speakers

This sounds liike if anything its pulseuadio not being able to ply 2 sounds at a time.

[delance (olivier-delance)]

A workaround to try is to go in System->Preferences->Sound Devices Reading and choose alsa.

Else you can install pavumeter, to see if both sources are managed by pulseaudio.
