I am using Ubuntu 10.04 with VLC 1.1.5..

Mine is 64 bit version..

When i play any content(audio/video) in vlc i dont hear any audio coming?

Same thing happening with flash content playing in mozilla..

I tried to install vlc-plugin-esd but i am getting the error as package not found..

Any solution for this?

Ubuntu (specifically GNOME) doesn't use ESD anymore, the default is pulseaudio. So in order to make audio output work in VLC you have to install vlc-plugin-pulse and set the audio output option in VLCs preferences to "pulse".

As for your problem with Mozilla, try using the native 64bit version of Adobes flash plugin rather than the 32bit version using nspluginwrapper.

You can get the 64bit version here: https://launchpad.net/~sevenmachines/+archive/flash

Try rm -fr ~/.pulse then reboot. – lovinglinux Nov 20 '10 at 15:14
