AussieJohn Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 My sound system is functioning OK as shown by usage of XMMS and KsCD. Although I have the volume control on the bottom of UTube screens appearing in Firefox set to max, I am not getting sound through. Anyone got a clue on this one, please. Cheers. John.

Anyone got a clue on this one, please. Cheers. John. I've been having this problem too. I finally googled around long enough and found that the following did the trick for me. I maybe wrong but I'm going to guess you are using KDE. Go into the KDE Control Center and in "Sound System", change the "Auto Suspend if idle" timer to 1-2 seconds. Another option I found is to change the duplex from full to half, this didn't work for me. And the final option I found was to edit the FIREFOX_DSP setting to "aoss", but I could not locate such a file in 2007 using `locate`. The first option worked fine for me. I'm providing the rest as additional information. Of course, your milage may vary. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieJohn Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Lexx. Sincere thanks. That first suggestion did the trick nicely. I didn't bother with the remaining ones. Another note into my special Tips and Tricks book (yes, a real book) Cheers. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmanuel_uk Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 FIREFOX_DSP setting anybody looked at entering in the address bar of firefox about:config then search for DSP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Yeah, I did this, didn't exist in my browser. Why, did it exist in yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmanuel_uk Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Yeah, I did this, didn't exist in my browser. Why, did it exist in yours? do not know if I have it, not a linux box, neither firefox here, just wanted to get this being a config option out of the way. Lexx needs to post link to that dsp parameter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieJohn Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 (edited) That was one of the things I tried from the suggestions, namely about:config and there was nothing in there about it. Using the word sound there were two references and were enabled. I too hope our good man can give us more detail on the DSP point. Cheers. John.

Lexx Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Here's the link where I first read about the FIREFOX_DSP setting. It appears this would be an enviornment variable, but I cannot say for certain. I just realised that I omited the location of the file where it is supposed to be located. It's in the link but here it is as well: /etc/firefox/firefoxrc. My fault for omitting that. Appologies for the confusion. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/sh...ad.php?t=453292 I also Goolged for FIREFOX_DSP as well as firefoxrc.

ianw1974 Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 I found that too, on an Ubuntu forum. I couldn't find that directory or file in Mandriva, and I used slocate which should have found it. Unfortunately not..... Ah well :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
