This bug has already been fixed in intrepid. To get that fix into hardy as well the following packages needs to be backported by someone:alsa- lib, alsa-plugins, and flashplugin-nonfree.
There is also several workarounds to this bug (which is partly why is marked as lower priority). For instance, try to disable "sound mixing" under System::Preferences::Sound and if that doesn't work, uninstall the pulseaudio package (if your audio worked fine before pulseaudio was added this is likely to work). -- Sound stops working in Firefox once other applications (Pidgin, Rhythmbox) have played sound https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/183917 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
