Hi, after updating to snv_118, sound finally works on my Thinkpad T61 without any manual configuration. Yay! Kudos to the developers - I am very impressed by the progress in all areas. OpenSolaris has high potential to become my default desktop OS here.
So now I have sound and most of the applications I've tried so far work (e.g. Pidgin notification sounds or watching movies with vlc or xine). "GNOME Preferences -> Volume Control" shows that the sound device is audiohd#0 and the volume sliders are not all the way down. However, one application refuses to emit and sounds and that is Firefox. I use version 3.5 as delivered with the distribution plus the Adobe Flash plugin (version 10,0,22,87, according to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/). Flash in general works, I see animations and can play YouTube videos just fine. However, there is no sound. Similarly, embedded videos (not using Flash) also don't provide any audio, e.g. the OGG files included in this blog post: http://blogs.sun.com/bblfish/entry/froscon_the_free_and_open There was a similar thread about this (Subject: "2009.06 dev (B117) FlashPlayer plugin sound") some time ago, but reinstalling is not really the option I was looking for. I am stumped - what is Firefox doing differently? Any ideas on how to investigate this problem would be appreciated. Thanks!
