On 12.04 fully updated and Chromium installed installing Flash essentially kills sound in Chromium. Remove Flash and Chromium will play HTML5 without issues. This occurred after the last batch of security updates. Anybody else with the issue - or a solution? TIA

Likely the sound loss is a Flash, not an Ubuntu issue, although the latter cannot be discounted at this point imho.

The following is from Adobe [thnx to Guy at SC] -

Netscape, Opera and other browsers was updated to 11.3.300.262.

This release addresses stability issue found in Mozilla Firefox.
This build does not address the audio issues reported by some
customers but we continue to focus on these problems and will
