Thanks for the tip, however this does not seem to help. But I have a few questions.
- I do not have an 'alsa reload' Did you mean 'alsactl restore'? - How do you recommend I tweak gnome-sound-properties? I currentlky have the default which does NOT enable sound server startup. At any rate these instructions just seem to re-init sound, but my flash sound problems happens even right after a reboot.
