This is the method that worked for me. It’s not really a method, it’s more of a simple program installation. By no means do I take credit for the solution, but here is the package that will need to be installed:

I’m just glad I could help!
I noticed a high spike in traffic around here and saw that most people are coming from the ubuntu forums. I’d just like to say, welcome to my little piece of the web! See you on the forums!

I have worked on this for days now…
you found the solution to the problem.
Thank you so much!
I spent lot of time trying to find a working solution for this issue (that was really pissing me off btw). But tonight, I found your post in the ubuntu forums and gave it a try. And guess what: sound is now working with flash under firefox / epiphany. Thanks you very much for the tip.
Ah!!! Sucess!!! I switched to pulseaudio and have been pulling my hair out to get flash video sound to work and this did it. Awesome. Thank you soooo much.
Anyone have a solution for amd64? If so, please email me at howard (dot) dave (at) gmail (dot) com Thanks!
[…] This seems to be a pretty random problem, but the solution is easy. Just install the “libflashsupport” package. This is also documented in my other post “How to Fix the No Sound Issue in Firefox“. […]
Thanks for you, it is working now 🙂
Thank you. Solved the problem without any hassle 🙂
Hello !
I noticed a bug in your lib
First i’ve to say that it solved the problem xD
But, when i’ve a firefox open and a flash video open (playing or not), all sounds are disabled for system and other audio appz (like banshee)
when i close the youtube tab in my firefox, everything come back
thanx again

Unfortunately, those with AMD64 versions of Ubuntu are screwed by the i386 DEB, and the makefile in that tarball doesn’t work. How can I get this to work on an AMD64?
Excellent work; I’d been getting frustrated after I fixed the video, only to have the audio disappear.
… now I only have to get DVDs to play…
How do I install it,
(i am new to linux, using Fedora 8, just got it yesterday)
For me, it was in the repositories.
The command is (as root):
yum install libflashsupport
That’s it!
how do I get to the repositories
maybe I didn’t say it well enough, I have no idea what I am doing in linux
do i just open up a terminal and type that?
Oh! Well, it’s easy to do, so no worries! There are two different ways to go about it:
With the Graphical User Interface:
1.) Goto Applications -> Add/Remove Software.
2.) Type in your password for root.
3.) Click on the “Search” tab and search for “libflashsupport”
4.) Make sure “libflashsupport” has a check mark next to it and click “Apply”.
5.) The package manager will go out, download it, and install it to your computer.
With the Terminal:
1.) Open the terminal by going to Applications -> System Tools -> Terminal
2.) Login as root by typing “su”
3.) Enter your password.
4.) Type “yum install libflashsupport”
5.) The package manager will go out, download it, and install it to your computer.
Well I did that,
it said the libflashsupport was allready installed.
but i still have no sound
Did you restart the computer?
If you did, and it’s still not working, I’m not sure what else to recommend other then starting a new thread on the Fedora Forums at http://forums.fedoraforum.org
Sorry I couldn’t be any more help to you.
Your “simple package installation” it’s works on my Firefox – Ubuntu Gutsy.
