Hi doctor... ;-) I had the same problem on Ubuntu 13.10. In some older discussion on other fora I found that HDMI output sometimes causes this problem. Test: setting my analog output to HDMI also broke my normal sound. So apparently the browser uses HDMI by default...
MY FIX was to go open PulseAudio Volume Control in the dash and in configuration I simply turned off the HDMI profile (I had one HDMI and one analog there). After that normal sound still works fine and sound plays in the browser as well. Hope this is of some help to you. ;-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1235537 Title: No audio on skype or flashplayer through firefox - 13.10 Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: kubuntu-13.10 amd64 updated daily There is no audio on skype or flashplayer, either through firefox or chromium. When running skype, there is no entry for it in pavucontrol. When running chromium, there is an entry for "ALSA plug-in (chromium browser)" in the playback section, but there is no audio coming through it. VLC and ALSAPLAYER both work as expected. Maybe a problem for 32-bit applications trying to play? However, WINE applications do have audio.
