The same issue in Mandriva LE 2005, also using Firefox 1.0.7. Can't figure it out.

Actually i encountered with the same problem sometimes ago on Slackware and i solved it, but i cant remember it now

The only thing i remember some permission issue...

Weird that sound works perfectly for flash in Firefox under Gnome but won't work at all in KDE.

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.

Maybe this can help?

For myself, I use Mozilla (in KDE), at first I had no sound. 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.

Igot mine just working (under mandriva 2006.1) by starting firefox with following command:

Code:

 artsdsp mozilla-firefox

Try if it works.

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