This is the problem i had in fc11, flash did not work properly and sound was not working.remove pulse audio and removed Firefox. Installed sea monkey. After i had done that. Went back and installed Firefox and pulse audio.It works fine now have sound and the browser that i like. Seen a lot of workarounds.But, wanted a simpler solution, this worked for me and maybe many others.

When extracting the flash library, be sure that after you copy it to the mozilla plugins directory, reset the owner and group permissions. The tar archive I grabbed had this owner and group:

# tar tvf libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar
-rwxr-xr-x buildmeister/labuser 9560488 2009-07-18 00:04 libflashplayer.so

My problem was resolved when these permissions were changed to root:root and the Firefox page was reloaded.

The thread is for 64bit Fedora 10, but this works on my 64bit Fedora 11 install.

I have pasted the directions from that thread below for others if needed.

At this point you should probably be using the 64-bit flash on 64-bit
systems. Here are my notes from when I did it. Caution the pathnames
on adobe's site may have changed a bit.

# alpha release of flash 64-bit

# pulseaudio-libs.i386 pulseaudio-*libs*.i386
yum erase flash-plugin.i386 nspluginwrapper.x86_64 nspluginwrapper.i386

cd /tmp
# main page: (url removed)
wget (url removed)
tar -xvzf libflashplayer-10.0.22.87.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

I had the same problem with the plugin working but with no sound. This fixed it for me perfectly.

For Fedora 13 I tried Installing the plug-ins "ALSA-Pulse Audio Backend" through add/remove software. Already the 64 bit version was installed. When I just installed the i86 version also the sound in all flash videos started to work just fine. I suppose the same will work out in previous versions implementing 64 bit also.
