Is this symptom reproducible if you remove the flashplugin-nonfree package and use Adobe's 64-bit Flash alpha?

[Devinder (devinderparmar)]

I have removed flashplugin-nonfree and downloaded Adobe's 64 bit flash alpha. can you guide me how to install it.

[Devinder (devinderparmar)]

 The problem of sound is not just with mozilla firefox but also with audio files stored in my hard disk/CDs/DVDs

[Devinder (devinderparmar)]

Removed flashplugin-nonfree.
Downloaded Alpha refresh of Adobe's Flash player 10 i.e.
libflashplayer-10.0.d21.1.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz on desktop and after
extraction got libflashplayer.so as per instructions on Adobe website.
Copied libflashplayer.so to ~/.mozilla/plugins after creating 'plugins'
directory.
To verify, launched Mozilla Firefox to choose Help>About plugins from menu.
But there is no option of selecting 'About plugins' from Help menu of
Mozilla Firefox.
However tried running video files in Mozilla Firefox /Totem Movie player
and audio files in Rythembox but there is no sound output.

Since this report have a long time without activity, could you check (if is possible) in latest version included in Karmic if this issue is still happening? Thanks in advance.
