Troubleshooting
Remember that if you need the Flash Player to work with pulse, you can ask libasound to do so in your ~/.asoundrc:
pcm.pulse { type pulse } ctl.pulse { type pulse } pcm.!default { type pulse } ctl.!default { type pulse }
To verify the Adobe Flash Player version number installed on your system, access the About Flash Player page, or right-click on content running in Flash Player and select "About Adobe (or Macromedia) Flash Player" from the menu. If you use multiple browsers, perform the check for each browser you have installed on your system. (Source)
In case the plugin causes high cpu-usage, you can try this: create /etc/adobe/mms.cfg:
# Adobe player settings AVHardwareDisable = 0 FullScreenDisable = 0 LocalFileReadDisable = 1 FileDownloadDisable = 1 FileUploadDisable = 1 LocalStorageLimit = 1 ThirdPartyStorage = 1 AssetCacheSize = 10 AutoUpdateDisable = 1 LegacyDomainMatching = 0 LocalFileLegacyAction = 0 AllowUserLocalTrust = 0 # DisableSockets = 1 OverrideGPUValidation = 1 EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1
