Hi gang!
I'm hoping for some advice here,...
I've been having this problem for a while and have come to the point where I need someone else's guidance/suggestions/help...
I'm running a Cenotos-4 system. It was originally a TAO Linux-1 system, that was upgraded to Tao-4, and subsequently switched (via yum, using the procedure created by the Tao maintainer with--I assume--assitance from the Centos maintainers) to Centos-4.
Ever since the upgrade from tao-1 to tao-4, Flash audio is horribly distorted.
I've reinstalled the flash-7 plugin more than once, most recently today. Today I also went through the entire system making sure there is only a single copy of the files flashplayer.xpt and libflashplayer.so, and that they are the newest ones from today.
What brings it to a head today is that my local NPR station appears to have switched to providing their audio stream as flash. At least I am no longer offered any choice (it used to allow us to choose windows media, real, or quicktime, all of which worked with mplayer), flash being what I get.
I'm open to suggestions. Thanks in advance!

I have seen this issue with some sound-cards.. what is the sound card you are using, what are the options that are in /etc/modprobe.conf, and what is your other hardware (memory, cpu, chipset.)
There are 3 reasons I have found for sound changes: 1) Chipset issues that can be corrected with a bios update (if the sound is embedded). The newer kernel driver expects certain access to the hardware and the BIOS needs a kick. 2) Chipset issues that need an updated kernel module. ALSA changes are a major issue. I had to keep getting dkms modules for my sound card for a while because the newer ALSA covered the card but the kernel didnt. 3) Flash is optimized for Flash-9 and doesnt sound good in Flash-7

NOTE that all sound is fine EXCEPT FOR FLASH.
There are 3 reasons I have found for sound changes:
- Chipset issues that can be corrected with a bios update (if the
sound is embedded). The newer kernel driver expects certain access to the hardware and the BIOS needs a kick.
It's a Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro2 (rev2) Athlon motherboard, with builtin sound support. It USED to work...
It has the latest BIOS available (7n400p2.fk)
Here's /etc/modules.conf:
alias usb-controller usb-ohci alias usb-controller1 ehci-hcd alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || : pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || : alias eth0 r8169
# I2C module options alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
# it8212 raid controller #alias block-major-8 iteraid alias char-major-195 nvidia
- Chipset issues that need an updated kernel module. ALSA changes are
a major issue. I had to keep getting dkms modules for my sound card for a while because the newer ALSA covered the card but the kernel didnt.
According to the MB manual, the sound is "realtek ALC655 CODEC".

- Flash is optimized for Flash-9 and doesnt sound good in Flash-7
No solution for this one, I guess?
Ever since the upgrade from tao-1 to tao-4, Flash audio is horribly distorted.
I've reinstalled the flash-7 plugin more than once, most recently today. Today I also went through the entire system making sure there is only a single copy of the files flashplayer.xpt and libflashplayer.so, and that they are the newest ones from today.
What brings it to a head today is that my local NPR station appears to have switched to providing their audio stream as flash. At least I am no longer offered any choice (it used to allow us to choose windows media, real, or quicktime, all of which worked with mplayer), flash being what I get.
