Ubuntu Firefox – No Flash Sound

October 20, 2008

I recently started playing with the Ubuntu desktop again and really like it. After the install my sound was working fine, but I noticed there was no audio during flash videos (e.g. YouTube, Diggnation, etc.). I started Googling the problem and found that a component was needed to fix the problem. I searched Synaptic for the latest and greatest release of the libflashsupport module, and (after installing it) I was able to enjoy goofy YouTube videos again in all their audio glory!

    It looks like it isn’t. All the site entries I could find on the ‘no flash sound problem’ state that the libflashsupport module has to be installed to the core system by the user.
