Flash Player Sound Lag Issue

[lovinglinux]

Just tested the link you provided with flash stable from the repos, flash beta from Adobe Labs and flash from Chrome. All 32bit. They all exhibit the same problems. The game interface has glitches and the sound has delay.

Tried to disable hardware acceleration, remove Flash-Aid tweaks and even disabled effects. Nothing solves the problem.

So I believe is not your machine. Is flash or the video driver.

What video card are you using? I am using a nVidia 7300GT.

BTW, I am using Kubuntu 11.04.

I think I am using a Radeon HD 5750.

I just tested on Maverick 32bit on a VM and the same sound delay occurs.

Tested using esound instead of pulseaudio and got the same delay.

Solution for the audio delay:

Create a new firefox script under /usr/local/bin/firefox with the following command:

gksudo gedit /usr/local/bin/firefox

Paste the following into the blank file and save it:

#!/bin/bash
export PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=20
exec /usr/bin/firefox "$@"

Then run this:

sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/firefox

Start firefox with the command:

/usr/local/bin/firefox

HOLY! It worked!!!!! I have had this problem for so long and now its fixed! You're awesome! The only weird thing is that now firefox isn't the default web browser, but I just set it as default again. You are amazing!

You are welcome.

I had no idea how to fix this, but I was lucky to find the bug report.

well I'm glad you did. It's a shame that the flash for Linux is still really resource heavy for what it is. My system is sometimes bogged down by little flash games when in Windows it can play StarCraft 2 on ultra settings with 60 Frame Rates per second.
