I recently had a power failure, and since that, apparently the only problem I have is: flash videos in Firefox have no more sound. I tried to reinstall both firefox and flash-plugin, but to no avail.

Is it installed in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ ?

# ll /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/

If not, try recreating the symlink:

# cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins # ln -s /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so .

Actually, I can play Flash videos alright. Only they have no sound. Other apps like mplayer or xmms do have sound. Which leaves me clueless.

It may be a setting in the Firefox configuration. My daughter has a similar problem on her machine - no sound in the browser (it's an older version of seamonkey). Try putting "about:config" in the URL bar and filter for sound - see if something there looks funny.

If not, you might check the Mozilla bugzilla and see if this has been reported, and if not, you know what to do.

I was just thinking maybe there was something wrong with flash plugin file since the power was killed, which is why I mentioned that.

Power failures are funny (NOT!) things. Did you open the alsa mixer (right click the speaker icon) and see if one of the channels got muted? Maybe that's all it is. Are you able to play other sounds (like .wav files) using some of the utilities or hear sounds with other utilities?

What about possible corruption? Have you done an rpm --verify to see if something got corrupted or removed?

Sometimes power failures are associated with a surge or spike. First step is to make sure the hardware is still good using some other utility to test it, like I mention above.

Oh yes! Thanks very much for the suggestion! It worked, and now I have sound again!

Cheers!
