Yeeee Haaaaaaa! I've read so many posts about this, including all the "can't be fixed, wait for flash 9, yadda yadda". This fix works perfectly for me on dapper. Now I can watch all that pointless, moronic flash content! Thank you.

Amazing - but I'm using Flash 10 and this fix didn't work for me.

I was looking for this thing for almost a month and thank God I have finally reached here. Thanks for sharing such an informative tutorial

I was having this problem with ubuntu 10.10, I had to go to sound preferences and the output tab and pick my BT headset, for some reason other apps used it but flash used the selected one.

(posting here because its the first search result I got)

# Flash also looks for /usr/lib/libesd.so.1
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libesd.so.0 /usr/lib/libesd.so.1

# Flash expects /tmp/.esd/socket to exist.
sudo mkdir -p /tmp/.esd/
sudo touch /tmp/.esd/socket

this still working for me!! thanks!

Also worked for me on Oneiric. Although, I had to also start a Youtube movie and then while it was running, open up Sound Settings, Applications, and uncheck the Mute button next to ALSA plug-in [npviewer.bin]. Now that I think about it, I am not sure if creating the link files really solved the problem or if the Mute box being checked was my problem all along. But I don't want to risk deleting the links now that it is working

I had some issues with flash. It was nothing to do with sound but with image cluttering and slow response. But I did a kernal upgrade and it works ok now...I think this would help if someone got any other issue with flash. I think kernal update would help..Thanks
