I have the same issue as Cheryl, using adobe-flashplugin on 8.04 on a Dell Inspiron 1521, the sound on Audacious, mplayer and alsaplay can be playing just fine but any youtube (or vimeo or any other flash-delivered sound or video) will be silent for a long while, then will hiccup for several minutes on some random sub-second sample, then will play for a second or two and then repeats the cycle. I'd say there is a buffering issue either within the plugin or in the plugin's interaction with alsa.
Also interesting: the mplayer plugin also locks up, it doesn't even begin to play. This is on a fresh install of 8.04 (supported until 2010 ;) upgraded to all the latest packages; because of the forward-thinking of AMD and their abandoning the X1200 chipset products, I am forbidden to upgrade to any newer Ubuntu. Also worthy of note: Just prior to the 9.04 release this was working very well using the old Flash-9 based flashplugin-nonfree plugin (with the exception of lockups if the plugin was used with certain gstreamer-based packages like Rhythmbox), but it did work. Unfortunately the flashplugin-nonfree needs to be dropped from the Hardy distro as it depends on the http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz which is no longer available on the macromedia site. -- Sound and video choppy in Hardy Heron https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/226520 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
