Just upgraded to firefox 3.6 on Hardy.
Now no sound with youtube or any flash videos.

I tried to reinstall flashplugin-nonfree, no effect.


Please help!

The version of flash with Hardy is probably pretty old by now. Why not manually install a newer version from Adobe (since you've installed a newer browser anyway)? It's usually just a matter of accepting the license and copying the "libflashplayer.so" that extracts to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins.

I tried both of your solutions.
Doesn't work...

Here is the result of calling "locate libflashplayer.so"
/home/kakyo/.flock/plugins/libflashplayer.so
/home/kakyo/.flock/plugins/tmp/libflashplayer.so
/home/kakyo/.flock/plugins/tmp/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
/usr/share/flock/plugins/libflashplayer.so
/var/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so

BTW, my opera-10 works just fine.

Try to go to "System >> Preferences >> Sound" and change the options there from automatic to "ALSA". I haven't been using Gnome for a while, but that used to work for me.

If that doesn't work, try to install the 64bit version of the flash plugin. It looks like you have a 64bit system with the 32bit version of flash. Use this tool (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1414595) to remove flash then install the 64bit version.

I'd forgotten that Hardy still used nspluginwrapper with the 32-bit plugin. I use the 64-bit plugin myself and it's much faster and more stable (with the exception of hulu.com).

I also tried the suggestions in the stickies without success . Finally went to Java web site and found I didn't have latest version so using the synaptic mgr in System, Administration uploaded and installed. Seems to have solved the problem.

I Increased my PCM Volume to max. Solved problem.

No Config changes required anywhere else...

My previous experience were sorted by booting the newer kernel after a normal system upgrade.

In little words, I upgraded the kernel, but not the menu.lst file, so I was booting the old kernel... then I edited the mene.lst by adding the new kernel entry and after I ran that kernel.

My problems was the PCM mixer setting at zero also.

My wall now has a hole the size of my head in it!
