Linux and Youtube…

I’m having a problem with Ubuntu and You
Tube. I can view the video but get no sound. Sound system is working fine, I can listen to internet radio, mp3’s, play CD’s.

Ubuntu and other Linux forums are full of the same question. The prevailing wisdom seems to be that the Adobe flash plug-in is badly in need of an update.

Does anyone here have this problem, if so have you found a way around it?

Any handy dandy tips and suggestions are appreciated!
