So is their incompatability issues with this flash upgrade or what? i am still having probels since upgrading FLASH-PLUGIN INSTALLER and apparently others are too

edit: I do notice that in pulse audio volume manager, the flash volume display goes in an out quickly. It displays it for like a millisecond and disappears over and over

Fixed it. I had to manually DL the tar.gz from the adobe site and then drag to libflashplayer.so file into my /home/NAME/.mozilla/plugins directory.
I tried to follow your instructions but it seems that I still can't get sound to work. I'm using Intrepid Ibex AMD64

Hopefully someone can help me I'm getting desperate
On my system (Intrepid Ibex, clean install), Pulseaudio works for a while--Usually a day or so. It eventually dies. Killing and restarting it restarts sound, but I have to restart Firefox to get Flash to work again.
Upgrading from Hardy to Intrepid had similar issues, but quicker.
Original install of Hardy had no sound problems at all.
What should I be looking at next time it dies on me?
I updated my Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 today and restored my backup
i had a few videos in 3gp and they were playing but without any sound..
the mp3 files were playing with sound
then went to youtube and tried to play a video.. but no sound
Same was the case with Bluetooth stack of my laptop
was seriously considering to go back to Ubuntu 8.04 and then came across your article
Works wonderfully now... thanks man..
highly recommended
I am running Ubuntu Hardy Heron on a Lenovo Thinkpad T61 laptop. I followed the above directions but I cannot start pulseaudio without serious looking errors. This is my output, first short then long:

Just carefully followed the steps on my Acer Hardy Heron. Whoa!! GREAT!
The equalizer stuff is really nice!
i5-750/P55-UD3P/HD4850 1GB DDR3/4GB DDR3 A-Data Ubuntu 11.04 x64 Natty/Igelle 1.0.0 DSV /Windows7 x64 (for gaming)
For the record, I think Pulseaudio is a great enhancement to Linux audio. Now, I recently installed Hardy Heron, and had to struggle a while to get it output sound through my chipset's (HDA Intel) S/PDIF, but eventually found it out by following this quide, and reading from some other thread, that you have to manually add the device to /etc/pulse/default.pa:
As you can see, I have two sound cards, so chipset lists as second card, and digital is the second channel. So device is hw:1,1.Code:# intel hda digital audio load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:1,1
Now the last problem I have, is that VMware sound stutters quite a bit. I managed to put virtual machines' sound through Pulseaudio OSS wrapper by following this guide: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/163605. At the end of the guide he suggests trying out different values for default fragments. However, dispite of trying different combinations, I've not had much success with the problem. So I'm asking, has anyone figured out appropriate values with hardware similar to mine?
Btw, I don't think, that adjusting these values is something, that end user should have to do. Are problems with VMware already fixed in recent PA releases?
Hi all,
i am experiencing the well known Firefox bug, it's closing randomly when playing flash websites...
- Firefox is running on a VMware Virtual Machine with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
- I tryed to follow this guide here (topic start) but since i have no soundcard in my virtual machine implemented, i can not open the audio control etc. i can not add a soundcard to my VM because i am using VMware ESXi. This means i have no chance to complete the mentioned guide.
- I did a upgrade to 8.10, but i am experiencing the same Firefox problem
Please, what can i do in order to have a stabil Firefox that can play FLASH?
Which Ubuntu Version has NOT this bug that have cost me some much stress so far?
thx a lot in advance
