Hardy sound bug

[piratesmack]

Alright this bug isn't too annoying, but When running a music player like rhythmbox, I can't get sound in youtube videos.

Anyone know a fix or experiencing this?

Same thing happens to me. What is your sound card? Might be hw problem.

Sounblaster Audigy SE I believe

Never had this problem with Gutsy

Maybe a bug with firefox 3 beta 5?

It's a bug in PulseAudio if I can remember the development forum for Hardy. It should be fixed for 8.04.1

This is a known issue woth flash and pulse audio, if you're on 32 bit you can install libflashsupport to make flash pulse audio aware. Howerver last I heard there were issues with libflashsupport on 64 bit machines which is why libflashsupport was pulled as a dependancy of flashplugin-nonfree in the latter days of the Betas.

I reinstalled pulseaudio and it works now.

sudo apt-get install --reinstall pulseaudio

Make sure that there are not any instances of firefox/epiphany/amarok etc running (in broken state in the background).

Keep me posted
