Ubuntu Sound Issue

I just installed ubuntu on my old insperon 1000, the only thing i've done to it so far is run automatix. the one problem i have is that sound on web pages does not work at all, flash games sound boards ect... i have tried opera and firefox. The sound for the rest of the computer works fine.

 

Did the program install right, no errors?

 

No, there were no erros that I saw, i'm not sure if web page sounds were working before that or not either.

 

Laptop or computer?

If computer, did you have origonal sound disks with it?

 

Laptop. the system sounds/ music and everything work fine, its just web pages

 

Active X, direct X?

Some sites need different utilities.....I can't really think of anything else, sorry.

Oxygen.

 

maybe Ubuntu doesn't have the right codecs for the sounds on the web pages. Linux generally uses .ogg audio files, so look around for some codecs. Just my suggestion.

 

mp3 codecs aren't included with ubuntu blah blah blah...

as was said try downloading codecs see fi ti does anything

also, this is on a linux distribution, not windows XP... sound discs that came witht he system are all but useless for this.

 

Yeah i already had all the codecs ect.. I finally found a soulution though.I had to sudo gedit /etc/firefox/firefoxr
and change
FIREFOX_DSP="none"
to
FIREFOX_DSP="aoss"

and the sound worked
