Public bug reported:

Sound in Youtube videos in Firefox no longer play, it is completely
silent.

I checked Rekonq too, but I don't know if it was working before. It was
working with Firefox 23 until today after I ran all available patches
and Firefox 24 was installed. I did roll back to Firefox 20, but that
didn't solve the issue. I was checking the video on this page:
http://www.eevblog.com/2013/09/28/eevblog-528-opamp-input-noise-voltage-
tutorial/ Yesterday it worked, today (after patching) it doesn't. Other
system sounds work as expected.

On https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ I noticed that my Flash
player is not up to date:

Outdated Plugins Plugin         Status  Action
Shockwave FlashShockwave Flash 11.2 r202        vulnerable      Update Now

I did not download there because it doesn't provide a .deb package.

I tried running /usr/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloader from
the command line hoping to update flash, but nothing seems to happen.

Not 100% sure flash is the actual issue though.

1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> 
About Ubuntu
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=13.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=raring
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 13.04"

2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or 
by checking in Software Center
firefox:
  Installed: 24.0+build1-0ubuntu0.13.04.1
  Candidate: 24.0+build1-0ubuntu0.13.04.1
  Version table:

3) What you expected to happen
When I surf to 
http://www.eevblog.com/2013/09/28/eevblog-528-opamp-input-noise-voltage-tutorial/
 and start the video I expect both video and audio to work.

4) What happened instead
Video works, audio is completely silent. Other system sounds work as expected. 
A random other video on YouTube has the same problem: no sound.

I did a "grep ' upgrade '" on today's /var/log/dpkg.log to list the
packages that have been upgraded, maybe that is of some help:
