It will probably be the weekend before I will have time to do this.
In the mean time, I'd welcome and advice, hints or recommendations for
which mainline kernel package I should grab or if there is anything
besides the nvidia drivers that are likely to cause me trouble in
this.
Thanks,
Edd

Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

> After hibernate, flash videos in firefox have no sound. This is true for pages that where open when the system was put into hibernation and for pages that where opened after awakening from hibernation. Quitting firefox and restarting it restores sound. This only seems affects flash videos. It may have affected ogg videos before, but I can't say with certainty. I do not use pulseaudio, so it cannot be a pulse issue. I have a multi-open sound card so it is not an issue with one application blocking the sound card.

> Having just looked at the directions for reporting firefox problems, I did not create a clean profile prior to my last hibernate. I'll try to do that in the next day. I also had not started firefox from a terminal. I'll do that as well. I have the problem with many web sites. Youtube is common. The site at the moment is 'http://www.gearheadrpg.com/?p=85' with an embedded Gundam video that I assume has sound. The 'http://freegamer.blogspot.com/2010/04/open-source-rpgs-coming-up-dawn-rpg.html' has several embedded videos that had no sound. Interestingy enough, the tinyogg link for one of the videos did have sound. I don't know if that means ogg is not affected or if it is just because I hadn't viewed any ogg videos prior to hibernating. The page 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_HXUhShhmY' had sound last night and I know 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3aV1yHQtfU' has sound as well.

Center and Surround where both set to zero, but I always have them that way since they do not appear to affect anything. I run normal 2 speaker stereo with a subwoofer. To test, I raised both of them and it did not restore sound for flash videos.

Also, I would question why this would cause a problem only after hibernate though I admit I have no expertise on the matter. I will try it if someone believes this step is necessary for this problem.
