No sound only videos on online Videos (Youtube & Google Videos)
Posted by admin on January 26th, 2008
Are you one of those people like me who had this weird problem with Online Videos. When you play videos from online services like Youtube, Google Vidoes. This can happen with any website that hosts flash videos. Flash Videos have their own sound settings.
However, to resolve this problem install the latest version of Flash Player from the Yast repositories.
Switch user to “root” and install latest stable Flash Player:
SAIBABA:~ # yast2 –install flash-player
Once done, reboot your system. This should resolve the problem. Open your browser and play Online videos and you should now watch videos ……..with Sound!!!

I have this problem of no sound in Firefox/Flash on Suse 11.1 (It was working OK until I tried to install 11.2, but that’s another story.) I’ve been searching for days for a solution – unsuccessfully – but I’ve noticed something odd I hope someone can help with. When I open a terminal in super-user mode sound works in Firefox, but it’s a different version of Firefox! No bookmarks, vanilla settings etc. but same version number – Why would this happen and how do I find out where the ‘rogue’ firefox is installed?
(logging in as root does not result in sound and starting firefox in normal terminal also produces no sound – amarok etc works OK – Please help!!)

Had a similar problem. Fix was to dump pulseaudio and just use alsa.
