Hi List,
I have an ASUS G73S laptop with our favorite OS installed and all
up-to-date.
Sound has always "just worked"
When I use the Preferences>Sound app I can setup the hardware, input,
output and was overall very impressed.
One can check each speaker and the laptop has a front left and right and
also has a bass speaker which seems to be connected to the left rear.
The various players seem to work fine e.g mplayer, JuK, VLC media player.
Recently I wanted to play a movie off the internet and so out came Firefox.
Imagine my surprise as I hear only the background music from the rear
channel - the front left and right appear to have disappeared.
When I plug in some headphones, it seems that the phones only pick up
right rear and left rear - front left and right are gone (laptop
speakers are muted due to headphones being plugged in)
So one cannot listen to audio from internet via flash player........
I have the high definition digital audio disabled as I understand this
is for the HDMI audio system which I have not played with.
I think alsa and pulse audio are installed.

Not sure what other info can be of help.
Anyone else have this front / back swap issue?
Anyone have any ideas why no front channel audio output on flash/firefox??
What if anything allows these various audio channels to connect / cross
connect?
TIA for any suggested reading - my google foo has failed to locate
anything recent that might relate to CentOS 6.
