sound in iceweasel

Hi all

My wife has run into a problem using iceweasel to access a site like
123greetings.com - none of the cards are playing a sound. She is using
KDE. When she's tried using konqueror it simply borks and displays a
dialog box asking whether she wants to use gxine to load the swf file.
Clicking cancel crashes konqueror.

It is likely to be local to this site, but just wanted to check in with
anyone else's experiences or ideas on this.

Cheers

Andy

Works for me: http://www.123greetings.com/music/love_songs/mlsong16.html

What are the contents of your /etc/mozilla/mozillarc?

Mine is:
MOZILLA_DSP=auto
MOZILLA_LOCALE_AUTO=true

The site works for me. I'm using Epiphany, on Etch, with flashplugin-nonfree 9.0.31.0.1. Perhaps you're using flashplayer version 7, and maybe that's the problem. Try moving on up to version nine, and I imagine the site will work then.

Thanks for the help - have fixed it. It was a combo of not having the
latest flash plugin (now fixed with flashplugin-nonfree) and adjusting
the /etc/iceweasel/iceweaselrc file as was suggested with reference to
Mozilla.

Now fixed, except for when the site requires something proprietary.

Cheers

Would you mind posting just exactly what you did to the
/etc/iceweasel/iceweaselrc file?

Sure Hendrik: in /etc/iceweasel/iceweaselrc there was only one line
which read:
MOZILLA_DSP="none"

So I amended that to true and added:

MOZILLA_LOCALE_AUTO=true
Then I downloaded and installed the flashplugin-nofree and restarted
iceweasel and viola!

Hope this is useful to someone else.

Don't forget to check that your /etc/apt/sources.lst entries point to
etch and not testing, otherwise you may end up with a broken system once
etch goes stable.
