I am running lubuntu on a Dell mini12. it was working fine until a couple of weeks ago. Now you tube videos have problems playing back sound. I've tried installing the latest flash. My browser is Firefox but it happens on Chromium too.

  • If you are happy to install it, Google Chrome should work because it has Pepper Flash built in. In fact, I'm using it on Lubuntu right now.

  • I doubt you will ever get it working. Flash has not be supported on Linux for over 1.5 years.

  • Tim, I tried installing chrome but the same glitch appears. Then I uninstalled Chrome, tried to purge flash and to load Pepperflash for firefox. But the glitch is still there.

Could be related to the change youtube recently made to HTML5 videos by default. Early February if I remember correctly.
