No sound in browser

I have a Intel HDA soundcard with optical out hooked to my surroundset. card is installed with the latest ALSA driver and works ok. Sound of Mandriva starting and closing, music thru Amarok.. All works just fine but I can seem to get sound working in firefox or konqueror. (no sound with playing youtube movies for example)

 

I tried starting with aoss firefox fiddle with the suspend to idle and duplex settings of KDE. All sliders of kmix are at max and green on/off buttons set to on.

 

Any ideas what I can do to get sound from my browser?

Install codecs?

It's not a matter of codecs with youtube... the site is using flash for the videos.

Get sure that you have the latest flashplugin version installed (mine is 9.0.115.0), and also that the "snd-pcm-oss" module is loaded.

lsmod | grep oss

What gives?

Updating to the last version (Version: 9,0,115,0) didn't solve it.

There are more things in the error console like the 3 above, but all about the css.

Please ignore my previous post. I've just checked my system and the only place I could find libalsa-oss0 was in /usr/share/doc/ so that file is not required. Check your /etc/modprobe.preload and make sure that libalsa-oss0 is not listed. If it is then either delete it or comment it out. That should get rid of the errors. I don't expect that to correct your problem but at least you will get rid of a few lines.

locate libalsa gives:

/usr/lib64/libalsatoss.so.0.0.0

/usr/lib64/ao/plugins-2/libalsa09.la

/usr/lib64/ao/plugins-2/libalsa09.so

/usr/lib64/pulse-0.9/modules/libalsa-util.la

/var/ftp/pub/Mandrivalinux/media/main32/libalsa2-1.0.15-0.rc1.4mdv2008.0.i586.rpm

 

and:

 

locate libaoss

/usr/lib64/libaoss.so.0

/usr/lib64/libaoss.so.0.0.0

 

 

modprobe.preload is empty apart from the instructions what could be there...

 

 

Any ideas left?
