    Sound in Firefox

    Errr, sound in Firefox isn't working! It works in other apps, but not in Firefox or Konqueor. My Sound cards are: Sound Blaster AudioPCI128 (Module: ‎es1371) (in use) and VT8233 [AC97 Audio Controller] (‎snd-via82xx). Any help would be great!

    In what way would you expect sound to work in a browser?

    Also what desktop you using?

    Does flash work at all? If it doesn't work at all you need to install the appropriate plugin.

    What version of Firefox are you using?

    Have you double checked the KMix options? To open KMix, click on the blue speaker in the lower right corner of the screen. It is in the panel. Make sure none of the green radio buttons are shaded.

    I know that's basic, but sometimes the simple things are easy to overlook.

    Just seen a post on dropline forums with the same prob as you.

    They say starting the esd sound server sorted the problem.

    Can you try that on your system, if you have it installed that is?
