Hi,
My Google-fu must not be up to snuff, because I've Googled much without
any luck.
USB Audio
32-bit Sid
ALSA 1.0.23+dfsg-1
Flash 10.1r53 (from adobe.com)
Iceweasel 3.6.4-1 (experimental)
vlc 1.1.0
users are in group audio
Sound plays fine from local sources but not from Flash/Iceweasel. (Yes,
Flash *video* works.)
Happened with me too for the last couple of days. It started when I
noticed that I could not redirect the output of flash videos from
Pulseaudio. In fact, a playing flash video does not even register in
Pulseaudio's Playback tab. So in trying to fix this, I started to try
various things. One of which was to try flashplayer-mozilla. Well, that
mucking around with the working flashplayer ended up in killing its audio.
Any thoughts on how to solve this would be much appreciated, since
otherwise my wife will insist on moving back to Windows.
What worked was to recall how I had installed the player in the first
place. I am using Debian Testing amd64 and thus I cannot install the
player from Adobe in the usual Debian way. But the procedure listed
under "Debian Testing 'Squeeze' amd64" on the following link worked.
http://wiki.debian.org/FlashPlayer
At this time, here is the version of the player that I have:
flashplugin-nonfree 2:10.1.53.64.1
The audio is now working quite okay from my motherboard's audio but I am
still unable to control its output from Pulseaudio, only the main mixer
controls work. Oh well.
YMMV.
regards.
