[SOLVED] Mageia 5 64bit no sound in Chrome

[banjo]

I just installed Mageia 5 64 bit and the sound works fine in Firefox and Chromium, but not in Chrome.

I hope this isn't a dual post, but I did search and did not find a solution. There are lots of old hits, but I did not see anything directly related to this situation.

I was wondering if the fact that google-chrome is a 32 bit app has something to do with it. When I run it from the CLI I get errors

Code: Select all

$ google-chrome
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
[6248:6248:1007/192338:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(217)] GTK theme error: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "oxygen-gtk",
[6248:6248:1007/192338:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(217)] GTK theme error: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "oxygen-gtk",
Created new window in existing browser session.


Do I need to install libcanberra-gtk0 or libcanberra-gtk3_0 i586? Can I even do that? lib64canberra-gtk0 and lib64canberra-gtk3_0 x86_64 are already installed.

Anybody know if/how I can install a 64 bit google-chrome?

I would like to get this to work because now I have a Firefox that will not play the Flash, and a Chrome that will not play the sound.

Thanks
Banjo

chrome is available for both architectures, which did you install?
Did you follow the MAQeia? viewtopic.php?f=36&t=3101

Those are not errors and they are pretty much irrelevant.

Could you please post a link to a video which has no sound in chrome? And please also show what flash plugin you have in chrome under

Here is a link to a video that has sound in Firefox and no sound in Chrome

I was not aware of the thread on how to add the Google apps, so I just added http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/i386 since that is what I found on the web. I will try the other.

The only Flash client I see in plugins is

Code: Select all


Adobe Flash Player - Version: 19.0.0.185
Shockwave Flash 19.0 r0

OK. that fixed it.

I ran the MCC and deleted the google-chrome repository that I had put there. The URL for that one was

Code: Select all

http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/i386

I ran the command from the other thread.

Code: Select all

urpmi.addmedia --update google-chrome http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/$(uname -m | sed -e "s/i.86/i386/")

That put google-chrome back into the list with the URL

Code: Select all

http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64

I uninstalled Chrome (the 32 bit version) and then installed the 64 bit version and it all works.

The sound now works in Chrome.

Thanks for the help. Great distro.
