help!

Sorry if this has been brought up once before but i couldn't find anything like it.

This started just before updating to the newsest KDE so i'm not sure that it has anything to do with that.
Basically sound works for programs like Amarok or Dragon but not for Mozilla (so youtube, streaming music, etc) or games (World of Warcraft running with Wine, and Frozen bubble for example).

Kmix shows nothing muted and i checked that alas sounds thing in terminal (sorry new to this).

I have been running KDE since April and have not had any trouble with sound untill now.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Do you maybe have more than one soundcard installed on your computer?

well yes i have a sound card that wont with with the current alsa. but i'm not using it.

also this problem sort of cropped up out of nowhere. everything was good for the last few months..

Do you have Pulseaudio of any form present on your system?
In the case of Firefox, it is likely that you need to remove libflashsupport if you do not have Pulseaudio in use.

Oops, ok i'm not sure why but my creative labs x-fi is now on and when i switched over the calbes the sounds started working.
Thanks a bunch!!

hello I also have the same problem and I do have Pulseaudio on my computer but it said that it was not in use. I am very new to the kde world thanks for any help that you can give

Before you go doing ANYTHING, simply run Kmix and check if your PCM channel volume is at 0. They've messed up the default value and set it to 0 so you won't get sound out of certain applications. Just crank it up to max and it'll start working.
