No sound in flash videos

[Paul Pace]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Sound in flash only works if I have no other programs running sound output. For example, I can have VLC, Rhythmbox and Totem Movie Player all running with all having sound output, but there will be no sound output from flash videos.

If I close all other sound output programs and restart Firefox, then flash will have sound. However, nothing else will output sound until I close Firefox, even if I close the flash tab and have no pages open. Usually I have to end the Firefox process after closing the window.

I have used three of the different flash players and always the same result. I completely uninstall the flash players in Synaptic and install through dialog box in Firefox.
