Comment 1 for bug 307755

I have just built my first Ubuntu (Intrepid) machine and have been completely bowled over by its speed and ease of use, particulary for someone, like me, who has never tangled with LINUX before. One tiny problem is bugging me however. I am a frequent user of the BBC iPlayer site. I can get to the site without a problem and can play back TV programmes, however, although I can see the programmes I cannot hear them. I have also noticed that the same problems occurs on the Youtube site. I know that my sound card is operational, because I can play (and hear) MP3s. Is there someone, who has used Ubuntu longer than I, who knows why I encounter this problem?

N.B. I am a complete newbie. but, the common factor would appear to be Flash.
