I had the same problem w/ a Toshiba.

I found this and it fixed my problem mostly. I still have no sound in flash.

"Try installing the lum (linux ubuntu modules) package for your kernel.
Backports may also be appropriate."

uname -a will tell you what kernel you are using. Then go to synaptic
and search linux-ubuntu-modules and choose the right one for your
kernel.

good luck
