Flash audio broken? Try Garage Band!
Authored by: osxpounder on Nov 01, '06 10:46:30PM

Oh, thankyouthankyouthankyou. A few weeks ago, my browsers stopped playing sound through anything but a Plantec USB headset w/mic that my office bought me for online conferencing. If it was plugged in, I could hear YouTube videos, or an MP3 on a musician's site, but once I removed the headset, the browsers just refused to play audio out to any other source -- and I already had SoundSource, Jack, and a few other things to try. I just didn't relish having to futz with it, and kept putting it off.

This GarageBand trick was the easiest fix. I opened GB, dropped a loop onto a track, played it few seconds, and quit without saving. The browser audio is back, in Firefox 1.5 and Safari. You're a saint, ya are.
