Bug Description

I have the latest Google Chrome application with Adobe Flash installed. When I mute the system audio and then open a youtube video the video audio still plays. I can mute and unmute the system with no avail. Changing the system audio level does not change the youtube audio level. This is happening under Ubuntu 11.04.

It's not happening here. I can have the system audio muted and the youtube audio is muted as well. In the sound settings, it shows up as "ALSA plug-in". Are you using the installer in flashplugin-installer? (Use "apt-cache policy flashplugin-installer" to see if you have that installed)

Todor,

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time. Your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates.

It would help us a lot if you could test on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once in a terminal:

apport-collect 1189188

and then change the status of the bug back to "New".

Please add any additional information that you think might be relevant. Alternatively, please confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can the report. If we do not hear from you this bug report will expire in approximately 60 days time.

NOTE: Google Chrome is not available in the Ubuntu repositories so it can not be supported here. If you still see this issue then please install and test using *Chromium*.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu better.
