One thing I'm referring to is an online game that I play - Bookworm, a |
| 11 |
game from popcap.com. When the "scrabble type" tiles drop, they make a |
| 12 |
noise. This game requires Java to be installed and works fine. Up |
| 13 |
until I did the upgrade to Firefox, I had sound in this game. What is |
| 14 |
different all of a sudden? |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
The other issue is a video from this particular link |
| 17 |
http://tobykeith.musiccitynetworks.com/index.htm?inc=5&news_id=8090. I |
| 18 |
was able to get sound in video on this site before the upgrade. Again, |
| 19 |
what is different? |

I don't use in-kernel alsa drivers. I have to recompile this driver |
| 25 |
every time I do a kernel upgrade. If I don't recompile, I get a message |
| 26 |
about /dev/dsp. So, I assume that what I need is installed when I |
| 27 |
recompile. And right now, I did 'cd /dev' and 'ls dsp', dsp is there. |
| 28 |
|

I also tried recompiling Firefox with the nsplugin USE flag, although |
| 30 |
this USE flag was not listed when I did 'emerge -av mozilla-firefox'. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Any other thoughts? |
