I'm having a problem getting sound to play in Flash9, the video works
fine. I followed the instructions from http://crnl.org/blog/2008/11/01/flash-9-for-freebsd-71
and the install completed without problems.

Sound is working for all system sounds, and multimedia apps like totem.
Any help is really appreciated, please let me know if there is more info
that I need to provide.

TIA

Andy,

This has been a known issue with Flash9 since Adobe fixed a security
problem a couple of months ago. Since Flash does not support the OSS
audio used by FreeBSD, they probably were unaware that they were
breaking the sound.

The only solution I have seen is to install Flash10
(linux-f10-flash10).

Since linux_base-f10 is the standard Linux emulation for 8.0, I suggest
that you replace all of your linux-* ports with "linux-f10-*" ports. If
you use portupgrade, 'portupgrade -o emulators/linux_base-f10
linux_base'. Use a similar command for all of your linux-* ports. Look
in /usr/ports/UPDATING, you will find a discussion of updating linux to
f10.

Note that users will need to update the nsplugingwrapper plug-ins before
Flash10 will work. I believe that 'nspluginwrapper -u' should do the
trick. (Remember that it must be run by each user while logged into his
or her own account.)

Hi Kevin:

Thanks for your reply. I installed linux-f10-flash10 as you suggested.

pkg_info | grep linux-f10-flashplugin-10.0r32
linux-f10-flashplugin-10.0r32 Adobe Flash Player NPAPI Plugin

I had already installed linux_base-f10-10_2, see above. I tried to execute nspluginwrapper -u, and I received this response: nspluginwrapper: expected plugin(s) file name to update

Now, flash does not work at all. Previously I had video, but no sound, and now nothing. I tried the following command, cd /usr/local/lib/firefox3/plugins && ln -s /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so npwrapper.libflashplayer.so but still nothing.

Any other ideas, what other info can I provide to troubleshoot?

Thanks
