Is "sound" from flash? I was having the same issue. I solved it by doing the following:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=866965

Trust me, there are MANY people here more knowledgeable than me, but this might be a good place to start.

(This is probably a duplicate)

That link isn't a fix. That's a hack. You probably just need to install the sound plugin for Flash.

To setup Flash+PA on Intrepid:
sudo apt-get install libasound2-plugins
asoundconf set-pulseaudio

Does that work?

[Mackenzie Morgan (maco.m)]

Er, assuming you're talking about Flash's sound. Are you talking about other sound (like embedded mp3s) as well?

PulseAudio plus the PulseAudio flash plugin seems to have done the trick.
