I was listening to some music with Amarok this morning when I wanted to watch [the new The Happening trailer](http://www.firstshowing.net/2008/05/02/chilling-new-trailer-for-m-night-shyamalans-the-happening/). To my annoyance there was no audio! After conducting a bit of googling, I learnt that it was because of Ubuntu using PulseAudio as its audio backend for Hardy. The fix is simple; install libflashsupport: <code class="terminal">sudo apt-get install libflashsupport</code> Then maybe log out and log back in :-P. It seems the reason libflashsupport isn't installed by default is because of [some problems](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libflashsupport/+bug/192888) some people are having with it. 2009-06-03T23:00:06+10:00 36 true 2008-05-05T11:50:00+10:00 2009-06-03T23:00:06+10:00 how-to-fix-flash-sound-in-ubuntu-hardy
