No Sound in Firefox in Jaunty — SOLVED!
10:40 pm April 26th, 2009I upgraded to the new Ubuntu, Jaunty Jackalope, on the day it came out. “At last!” I thought. “Time to solve the problems I created for myself by upgrading to a non-Long-Term-Support release last fall!” Dreaming of a world in which pulseaudio didn’t randomly need to be restarted every few hours, I started the upgrade running… only to load Firefox and discover an even worse fate — no sound in anything Flash-based! No Pandora!! PANIC TIME!!!
Anyway, it turned out to be super easy to fix. Just go to Adobe’s website and download the .deb of the latest Flash, then install, restart Firefox, good to go. Now I can get my Sarah Haskins1 fix complete with sound!
1Feminism in one breath, from an interview with Haskins:
The core issue “how do I fight bias against me because of my gender” is still there but has gotten more complicated and wrapped into all kinds of identity issues about how you present yourself as a woman and I pretty much think it’s your choice and fuck pantyhose.

Uninstalling pulseaudio plus your suggestion above fixed my sound problem. Thanks!
