Flash & Audio Question

dudeking · #1 July 18th, 2006, 10:15 PM

I'm going to put these in the same thread because I'm lazey

1. I have installed Flash Player into Firefox, but, any flash content has no sound.
e.g. listing to music on last.fm or youtube even the bit of flash on the CTH homepage.

2. I have done some playing around with media player and I have settled on amaroK as my player and Sound Juicer CD Extractor for the ripper and ovesly K3B to burn.
Media is the main thing I do with my pc, but with ripping music I have to rip it into OGG or Flac. But I need to play MP3 cd's etc for when I'm not at the computer, will an MP3 CD player play OGG, I havnt tryed it but I doupt it will. So how can I add MP3 support?
I have installed realplayer and installed Xine, but I can't work any thing out lol.

3. Also, while playing around I have installed basicly every thing lol, I tryed to test every thing out to see what I liked the best, so how can I uninstall these? Is it just a question on unticking them in Yast?

4. Finaly, in FF on my google home page most of my feeds now come up as Information is temporarily unavailable. Is this a problem with FF?

Just like to say, I love linux, I know longer even have XP on my system. My only complaint is that my hardware dosnt have to work very hard.

Thanks

Hm, no idea. I had the linux version of flash player 7 installed on a freebsd system a while back, but most things use 8 now, so instead I just use the unplug extension in firefox to download the .flv flash source, and
convert it to .mpg format with ffmpeg.

I believe unchecking them in YaST and applying the changes should uninstall, yes.

Are you using a specific plugin, or is this built into firefox?

I have reinstalled it and even reinstall linux a few times and it has done it every time, I have read a few articals and people have said that 7 is unstable.

Is the bit of flash on the CTH home page flash 8?
I am just trying to find somthing that is flash 7 so see if the sound works.

Are there any betas or anything of flash player 8/9 for linux, Flash with out sound is boring.

Like on windows its msconfig is there somthing like that on linux?

Thanks lol
