I've upgraded to FC5, and I'm slowly inching my way up to get audio
working (PlanetCCRMA). I have a particular problem in that Flash video
works fine, but I have no audio (occurs in Firefox, Opera and
Konqueror.) I've searched for a solution and really haven't found
anything that works. Some reports have said that a chmod to /dev/dsp of
0666 will help. Others say that changing the permissions on the
"plugins" directory will do the trick. Nope, not for me.
I noticed that I had no /dev/dsp. So, I kinda figured that maybe the
Flash plugin hard defaults to writing to /dev/dsp. So I made one with
./MAKEDEV audio... and sure enough, a dsp1 was made. However, I still
have no audio when playing flash in a browser.
Anyone come across this problem? Any ideas?

Do other audio apps work?
When you do "lsmod", does "snd_pcm_oss" show up?

If snd_pcm_oss is loaded but you have no /dev/dsp it has to be a udev

There is a special yum repo for macromedia. Try installing flash with
that as described on this page:

For me this did the trick.

/dev/dsp* are oss audio devices.
oss drivers are marked as depreciated in the kernel, and are replaced
with alsa drivers.
thus i am sure, FC5 will use ALSA instead of oss.
there are oss compatibility modules for alsa, they are named:
snd_pcm_oss
snd_mixer_oss
snd_seq_oss
do 'lsmod | grep oss' and see if these modules are loaded.
if yes, there is something foobared with your udev setup -
if no (thats what i expect) load these modules:
modprobe snd_pcm_oss
modprobe snd_mixer_oss
modprobe snd_seq_oss
note, for sound playback (flash), only the first module is required.
once you load the snd_pcm_oss module, udev should create /dev/dsp* as
required automatically.
if sound playback still doesn't work, this might be because your
soundcard has no built in mixing capabilities,
and some other application is using your audio device.
'other application' might include arts, which is started together with
KDE check with 'ps aux | grep artsd' and kill with 'killall artsd'.
the later command will disable sound in all kde apps.
if you are running KDE (and arts), you might also try running firefox as
'artsdsp firefox' from the konsole. this doesn't need the aforementioned
kernel modules.

maybe that is true for FC5 also.
on my sys there are symlinks created from /dev/dsp to /dev/sound/dsp and

they are located under /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules (here in gentoo).

Hi. Sorry, I've lost the original post to this Flashplayer on FC5 problem.
I have no such problems with Flashplayer and Firefox.
Firefox version 1.5.0.3-1.1.fc5 (from latest FC5 updates)
Kernel: 2.6.16-1.2080.13.rrt.rhfc5.ccrma (from planetccrma)
Extra Alsa packages are all from planetccrma, including "alsa-oss" the alsa
emulation layer for OSS.
Flash tried on http://laracameron.com/main.html . Some of her stuff needs
Flash, including sounds, and it works ok.
My Flashplayer install.
I have Apt installed, and added to /etc/apt/sources.list
rpm http://macromedia.mplug.org/ rpm macromedia
I could not find a GPG key for it on their site, so after DL'ing the
flash-plugin using Synaptic, you have to uncheck the verify signature box
otherwise it won't install.
Then ran (as root) /usr/lib/flash-plugin/setup, and the Flashplayer just
worked with Firefox, and no problems.
I can't say much more, as it just seems to work,
Nigel.

For the record, I installed FC5 last night and Flash audio did not
seem to work for me either. /dev/dsp was there, the ALSA OSS
compatiblity modules were loaded, and XMMS using the OSS output plugin
worked fine. My default soundcard is a Delta 66, but my motherboard
has on-board audio. It turns out Flash audio is going to the
motherboard audio while everything else is coming out the Delta 66
(including XMMS using OSS).
Strange...I guess I should disable the on-board audio in the BIOS, or
at least fiddle /etc/modules.conf...

Hi Lee. Fair comment. I did a fresh install of FC5 on some harddrive freespace
last night. On the first install of FC5, when I eventually got X to start,
the bootup showed selinux started, then udev tried to start, but failed, also
saying it would continue to try in the background. I disabled selinux, as I
don't feel that I need it, and at the next reboot udev started with no
problems. On that install I now have planetccrma stuff, music apps, etc.
I thought it best to try a fresh install to see if /dev/dsp was there with
these udev problems on bootup. Some time later (4 am) , with the same udev
failure showing on the fresh install, I got logged into KDE. Opened up /dev ,
and there is dsp giving me the finger, so it does not appear to be a problem
caused by selinux, and udev showing a fail on bootup.
I have never done an upgrade over an existing install, but have read that
there can be problems.

I stumbled across something similar a while back (no solution found).
What soundcard are you using? If flash does not find the "correct" mixer
controls or configuration it just keeps looking for another soundcard it
can use, in my case it ignored by delta66 and went on to the (unused)
mobo soundcard. Do an "strace mozilla &>trace", try the thing you want
to use and browse through the copious output searching for "/dev" or
something like that - to try to find out what the plugins is trying to
do.
