    So remove gnash

    pavucontrol

    check selected audio device then set levels & mutes
    I removed gnash and I already have pavucontrol installed, everything is set to the should be settings, nothing is muted. Still silent. I just don't understand it, everything that doesn't use flash works great on here, yet something is eluding me.

    I would advise using the flash-aid extension. It makes it easy to remove conflicting plug-ins and install the correct flash version.

    I just had two somewhat similar problems, and we worked through several possible causes. You might check my [solved] threads here:

    So I found out something weird today...my mother was over using the computer on her account (which is normal nothing special account) and youtube worked great for her there was sound and everything, however there is still none on mine. I called my dad and asked him for his password. Youtube works on his as well...I have checked all my sound settings and everything is up and not muted, why is it working on their accounts and not mine? I am an admin.

    Edit: I just made another account real quick and it works on there, still nothing on mine though. This is very frustrating.

    I can't remember if I asked you if the user was in the audio & pulse-access groups ?

    I am still a bit of a newbie when it comes to linux, how do I check that? Sorry, I am tired.

    There is Gnome desktop help built into your install...

    System/Administration/Users & Groups: manage groups..
    & select a group & check its properties (members).

    I'm marked there with the others....

    Don't worry about it anymore, now that I know I can watch videos on the other accounts I'll just use one of them and use this one for when I need to make changes.

    Thanks for trying help, I appreciate it.
