    Adobe flashplayer

    Accessed a site for a streaming audio which indicated the most recent version of Adobe Flashplayer was required (no video). Installed through Yast using repositories. It works but, the volume is extremely low. All my other audio works fine and the alsa test works so I know it's not hardware/sound card. Any one else have similar problems?

    Have you checked your sound levels in either kmix or gnome-volume-control? Maybe the PCM channel is turned down.

    This may sound like a silly question but was the volume up on the video itself?

    I am using Firefox 2.0.0.10. This is the site, blue icon top-left w/picture of an airplane:

    www.azstarnet.com ® | StarNet Scanners
    Checked sound mix and PCM at 100%.
    There is a volume control on the site which I set to the highest level. It's just an audio transmission, no video.
    I can hear it actually if I put my ear to the speaker with the volume on the site all the way up and my speakers all the way up.
    I have it running on W2K and works. I rarely use windows so it's an inconvenience but...if anyone has any suggestions I'll try. I have several other distros on the cptr if anyone has had success. I also tried installing on Mandriva w/same results.

    Thanks for your input.

    It works now. This kind of thing is why I love computers! I spent a number of hours trying to get flash to work on several different systems and at the point of giving up, I decided to check the connections one last time. As I was pulling the jack out from the computer, I heard sound. So, if I had the plug out a fraction of an inch, flashplayer would work, otherwise not. All my other sound worked with no problem and still does. Last week, I was moving furniture around and had to disconnect everything on the computer and move it and now I have the speaker plug all the way in and everything works. Here I thought I'd have to clean the contacts. Weird, but it works@
