No Sound in Any Browser

[isoscelesrectangle]

Sound works on my USB Speakers (I've selected USB_AUDIO in the Multimedia section of the control System Settings). However, when I open a browser like firefox, or chromium, or konqueror, I get no sound when I load a video on Youku or listen to music on Grooveshark. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
Do you have have one of these two packages installed?
ubuntu-restricted-extras
kubuntu-restricted-extras
I prefer to use both in Kubuntu.
They provide extra packages for codecs (and several other things).
Hope this helps.

Yeah, I have kubuntu-restricted-extras installed. The codecs aren't the problem. I just don't think that firefox is sending the sound to the correct channel. (HDA_INTEL instead of USB_AUDIO).

Try to install

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound

OR

flashplugin-nonfree-pulse

I don't think any of those exist.

Hi,
Try going into bios and disabling the Intel card.

Typical instructions to do that:
Reboot. Then during bootup you should see a "Press Del to Enter Bios" message (or something similar), press the key it says to press. When the bios appears, look for "integrated peripherals" which should be in the advanced settings. You will be looking for something like Onboard Audio, or Intel Audio, etc. Mark it as disabled, then Press F10 to save the settings and exit.
Hope this helps.

I just turned off the integrated sound in the BIOS, but I still get no sound. Any clues?

Does it work with headphones?

I do have the restricted repository enabled.
They are in Multiverse [ http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound ]. Check if you have enabled those, and then try again. I had the same problem on Karmic, and installing these packages solved it for me.
