No sound online and cannot see or hear TV shows online


Hello,

I have the newest Ubuntu (is it 12.4?). My speakers are working and I hear sound on my computer (this is a pc), but I hear no sounds on YouTube and or any other videos online.
Another problem is not being able to watch TV shows online, for example, Supernatural or Haven. No videos load on their sites.
Do I need specific add-ons for online sound and certain videos (I do see videos, with no sound, on YouTube, but not TV shows) or do I need certain settings? I tried to download software for videos but could not find a program to open it. (It may have been the wrong software for Ubuntu too) I am not very pc savvy.

Thank you

I downloaded Adobe yesterday and I still don't see the videos on TV sites. Is there anything that I can do?

Do you know which format the videos are, on those sites? If they use, eg. Windows Media, you won't be able to see them.

Here's one: http://www.cwtv.com/cw-video/supernatural/full-episodes
Here's another: http://www.syfy.com/videos/Haven/Full%20Episodes
Don't see which format the videos are in.

I can see videos on YouTube, but there is no sound.

Thank you.
