Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Since this turned out not to be a bug, I am marking this report Invalid. If you happen to have issues again, then you can return to this report and change the status back to "New." Please continue to report any issues you encounter!

The solutions posted by Gamex are meant for a different distro, and require applications non-existant for Ubuntu.

I don't think this issue should be closed: My computer is "living proof" that, despite everything that has been posted about this, I cannot hear any sounds on Firefox.

It looks like you have a Windows version of Flash installed in your home directory as well as the Linux version. Is there a way to test without your windows directory mounted?

[Gamex The Copycat (megamancentral)]

Maybe this is caused by phonon backend or firefox plugin. What is your computer specs?

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

Sorry, didn't realize it was a different person with the same issue.

@Krantz
Please file a new bug using ubuntu-bug.

@Krantz What is your Ubuntu version? Lucid?

[Krantz (edgar-estrada)]

@Gamex

Yes, recently upgraded to LTS using update manager.

Tried everything, no luck :(

Thanks.

@Krantz Please attach your bug here so that we can look what is the real problem. By the way, you can try reinstalling phonon backend and mp3 playback. But not sure if it will work.

Open terminal and enter these:
sudo aptitude install phonon-backend-xine
sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

No, please file a new bug.
