HELP!! Flash doesn't has no sound!!

[toshiro]

I have an ATI video card that has HDMI and Linux sees it as a sound card; I'm not using that connection (I have an Audigy card installed) but I think that flash for whatever reason is sending the sound output to that dummy sound card, all other sound applications (amarok, etc) work ok.

What should I do to avoid that?

Everything I could find says that flashplugin sends its audio to card0

To get flashplugin to work with my Audigy2se, I had to edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf to explicitly set the card's index to 0:

# Other aliases
alias snd-card-0 snd_ca0106
alias sound-slot-0 snd_ca0106
options snd_ca0106 index=0

It was set to index=1 in the original file from 10.04 beta2, even though it was the only card detected by alsa (my motherboard sound is disabled in bios settings.)

You may have to use aplay -l and aplay -L, determine the aliases for both cards and set audigy as index=0 and the HDMI card as index=1, in the alsa-base.conf file.

If you have a different audigy card, you wont need this:

For the Audigy2se, I used the original .asoundrc from my prior working debian installation, which read as follows:

pcm.ca0106 {
type hw
card 0
}

ctl.ca0106 {
type hw
card 0
}

I know there is is a rather pathetic bug on the part of the kde/kubuntu devs that's easy as pie to fix but has been around since 9.04.

To get sound, I had to fire up a terminal, type alsamixer, then turn the "PCM" bar all the way up.

(Of course I have an intel sound card. Haha.)
