Do you have a library called swfdec on your Gnome/Slackware distro? I think this is the Flash animation rendering library. Not sure if this is supplied with a KDE environment, or if 'rendering' includes a sound library.

I solved it (in Debian) typing: Code: sudo dpkg-reconfigure mozilla-browser and by choosing "artsds" as sound output... ("auto" doesn't work for me) In Linux I really thing mozilla-browser + mozilla-psm is working a lot better than plain mozilla-firefox. __________________ "To express yourself in freedom, you must die to everything of yesterday.

As far as I got it right this should simply reroute the sound from firefox to arts-soundserver.
