Hi,

Thanks Hiisi for your reply. I don't think I ever realised that
someone had replied until a few days ago.

So I am still having trouble with Flash Audio in Firefox (Mozilla/5.0
(X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.18) Gecko/20110621 Red
Hat/3.6-1.el5_6 Firefox/3.6.18). Here is an explanation of all that I
have tried and I hope to get some more help as I really don't know how
to proceed.

I don't read shell so good, so apologies if I am missing something obvious.

I checked that my system sounds work (by using the "AALC662 rev 1
analog" device). Then, I tried the steps in the link sent to me by
Hiisi:

1) Followed the instructions here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Flash#Enabling_Flash_plugin
for both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

For the 32-bit version,
=============

This was the problematic step:
su -c 'yum install nspluginwrapper alsa-plugins-pulseaudio flash-plugin'
Loaded plugins: kernel-module
Setting up Install Process
Package nspluginwrapper-1.3.0-8.el5.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Package nspluginwrapper-1.3.0-8.el5.i386 already installed and latest version
--->No package alsa-plugins-pulseaudio available.<---
Package flash-plugin-10.3.181.34-release.i386 already installed and
latest version
Resolving Dependencies

[output omitted]

Error: Missing Dependency: libkdeui.so.5()(64bit) is needed by package
flash-plugin-11.0.1.60-0.1.el5.rf.x86_64 (rpmforge)
Error: Missing Dependency: libkdecore.so.5()(64bit) is needed by
package flash-plugin-11.0.1.60-0.1.el5.rf.x86_64 (rpmforge)
Error: Missing Dependency: libkutils.so.4()(64bit) is needed by
package flash-plugin-11.0.1.60-0.1.el5.rf.x86_64 (rpmforge)
[/output omitted]

As there was no "alsa-plugins-pulseaudio" plugin I did a manual yum
search for "pulseaudio" which yielded no results, while I installed
the ALSA plugins for both the 32-bit and 64-bit architectures, as well
as the ALSA-utils package.

The last step in the sequence on the webpage yielded the following set
of errors:

su -c 'mozilla-plugin-config -i /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/*.so'
*** NSPlugin Viewer  *** ERROR: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so:
undefined symbol: __gxx_personality_v0
*** NSPlugin Viewer  *** ERROR:
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so: undefined symbol:
__gxx_personality_v0
*** NSPlugin Viewer  *** ERROR: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so:
undefined symbol: __gxx_personality_v0


I then moved to the steps recommended for 64-bit architecture

64-bit (wrapped 32-bit) version
===================

The first step yielded this result:
# su -c 'yum install nspluginwrapper.{x86_64,i686}
alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i686 --disablerepo=adobe-linux-i386'

No package nspluginwrapper.i686 available.
No package alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i686 available.

As before, I don't know what to do about the "pulseaudio" plugin as I
couldn't find it on yum, so I looked for the nspluginwrapper which I
found and installed both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

The last step of the 64-bit sequence lead to the same error as in the
32-bit case:
# su -c 'mozilla-plugin-config -i'
*** NSPlugin Viewer  *** ERROR: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so:
undefined symbol: __gxx_personality_v0
*** NSPlugin Viewer  *** ERROR:
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so: undefined symbol:
__gxx_personality_v0
*** NSPlugin Viewer  *** ERROR: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so:
undefined symbol: __gxx_personality_v0


2) 64-bit trial version:
    ============

Downloaded the tarball (flashplayer11_b1_install_lin_64_071311.tar.gz)
from Adobe, and followed the steps. Checked that "about:plugins"
confirmed that Flash was installed:

Shockwave Flash

    File: nswrapper_64_64.libflashplayer.so
    Version:
    Shockwave Flash 11.0 d1

MIME Type 	Description 	Suffixes 	Enabled
application/x-shockwave-flash 	Shockwave Flash 	swf 	Yes
application/futuresplash 	FutureSplash Player 	spl 	Yes


And yet, no sound on youtube videos! The video plays seamlessly by the way.

Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
