firefox 3.5 does not play sound with flash

[Miek Gieben]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

The new firefox-3.5 was installed with a system update. After that I tried to watch some videos on youtube.com. In firefox 3.1 audio was working, in firefox-3.5 is it not.

Audio is working with a pulseaudio setup - I can play mp3 with mpg123, audacious. No problems there.

System is completely up to date Jaunty, 32 bits.

Hmm, it looks SOLVED...

when using pavucontrol, firefox-3.5 show up as an application playing audio.
I can then use move-stream and select the correct output device. This
solves my problem

Please re-open this. The above solution did not work for me. When I ran pavucontrol, Firefox did not show up at all. I'm wondering if this has to do with the fact I installed Firefox 3.5 from a tarball rather than from package update? I've tried to upgrade to Firefox 3.5 via apt-get, but it only wants to install 3.0.11.

I'm running Ubuntu 9.04. Audio works in games, wine, vlc, audacity, and other programs. Firefox does play audio from some sites, just not in flash-enabled video, like on Youtube or Facebook. Facebook actually prompts you to install the Adobe Flash player, which does not work. either.

Sorry, we do not support Firefox 3.5 installed from a tarball.

The correct way to install firefox 3.5 is to install the firefox-3.5
package. Instructions are here:
