I am running 9.10 32bit on the desktop. After a recent update to
adobe-flashplugin 10.2.159.1-0karmic, I have been losing sound.
Movies from sites like hulu will play, but no sound. I googled for a
solution and tried several. Tried several and nothing seemed to work
until I found a reference to loading
libflashsupport_1.0~2219-2_i386.deb. It is for pulse audio support in
flash. I installed it, closed firefox and reopened, still no sound.
Rebooted and then opened firefox and sound was back. But, boot up the
next day and sound is gone again, and I have to repeat the previous
fix. I have been over the alsa mixer settings and nothing is amiss
there. MP3's play just fine. I haven't installed any pulse audio
management tools yet. One other note, although probably not related,
is that the music that plays at log in no longer plays. It is
selected in setup, but you don't hear it. I am wondering if I have a
pulse audio issue. Looking for suggestions.
