No sound on internet

[Turphy]

Hi,Just started using openSuse 11.2 and I'm really liking the desktop. I got my head around the software repo's and got all my drivers working but I just can't work out how to get sound on firefox. Videos play fine (that was my problem with Mandriva) and the sound works everywhere else (Amorak,desktop sounds, etc) but firefox is silent (not just flash stuff). I've installed flash, java, mplayer and Gstreamer (but I had to change the vendor options). Am I missing some magic plugin or am i being incredibly stupid and there is some kind of "sound on" button I've missed? I've been searching for an answer all afternoon with no success. Im on a 32bit machine with an AC'97 sound controller (Driver: Intel ICH, modules: modprobe snd_intel8X0, Bus: PCI)

are you using kde or gnome? i had a problem with sound, the system was not sharing the sound device equally, since its daemon driven. If firefox had sound, then nothing else would and vice versa.

after i uninstalled plasma everything went back to normal.

Sorted it now, didn't realise all the volume controls were turned down on the mixer .
Well, maybe this post will help someone.
