No sound in OGV video

[ruel24]

Just tried to watch a Heathenx tutorial, and it's streamed in OGV. I cannot hear it. I've never had this problem before, but I haven't watched anything streamed in OGV since I've reinstalled. I have libogg0 installed, as per default. Where should I go to hunt down the lack of sound? FWIW, I was in Firefox. If I use Konqueror, it won't even stream, but downloads the whole thing and does nothing after. If, in Konqueror, I choose to play it with VLC Player, it plays fine.

Thanks, Sproggy, but I have that installed and still no sound.

Have you a link to vid?

It's playing fine here ruel24 - both sound and video play well.  (he apologizes for the delay in the screencast)

Using Firefox 9.01 - KDE 4.6.5 - nvidia 290.10

plays here fine, too.
Sorry can't help

Don't know whether this will help but these are my Firefox Plugins - basically the default list with Java Disabled.

I've enable here...

[Just18]

What is FF set to use in Preferences - Applications for Ogg multimedia?

I am showing

mplayerplug-in 3.55 (in Firefox)

here.

[AS]

Fixed for me:  



open firefox about:config page, search for media.ogg, turn the flag media.ogg.enabled to false!
Don't ask me what that flag means, it was the only thing ogg related that I was able to find in about:config.

@Just18,
I do not have any reference to OGG in Preferences - Applications

Should I have it ?
