Is "sound" from flash? I was having the same issue. I solved it by doing the following:

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

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?

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.
