As before, Kubuntu 9.04-64/KDE4.2.2.

I only have the onboard sound. ATI. [ looked at it a hundred times and 
didn't see it ] I had to get rid of phonon to get the card to work at 
all. Pulseaudio is still there but not set as default. I can't seem to 
get rid of it.

I guess the problem seems to be with sites like youtube. Do they use 
"flash"?
