No sound in browsers

[RamBurner]

Videos play fine in both Chromium and Firefox, except that neither have sound.

Sound works fine with mplayer, vlc, audacious, and xbmc.

All of the players are set with the correct settings to get sound from the hdmi on the ati dedicated card, the correct mixer is set also. It will play fine through any player, just not the browsers.

This is on Lubuntu 11.04

Any input would be appreciated.

What are the contents of /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins?

I don't run Ubuntu. I play flash OK with sound In Iron Browser and Iceape.

My Plugins for reference.

Code: Select all

$ ls /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
flash-mozilla.so          gecko-mediaplayer-rm.so   libjavaplugin.so
gecko-mediaplayer-dvx.so  gecko-mediaplayer.so
gecko-mediaplayer-qt.so   gecko-mediaplayer-wmp.so

Yours will probably show totem instead of gecko.

My permissions for plugins as reference

Code: Select all

$ cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

I am not hip with using Ubuntu 11 so hopefully some Ubuntu user will shed some light on your problem.

Thank you for your input, I am running Lubuntu 11.04 because regular Ubuntu just went south with Unity.
Also I could never stand that Evolution was so tied into everything on the Ubuntu distro and in Lubuntu all things are separated as they should be.

I will look also at the similar things that you have listed and see if I can find any discrepancies.
