You have been subscribed to a public bug: for 3 years i ran the same hardware with every release of ubuntu and it ran perfectly, until about 6 months ago. now i have issues with sound/video/flash. the sound doesn't work right, the settings won't stay where i put them and the playback is low and choppy. the nvidia drivers look pretty with compiz, but with or without compiz the computer freezes up when i play a video with vlc-works fine until every 5-10 videos it freezes. i get errors with movieplayer--connection terminated, etc. trying to watch a flash video online is pointless, because after 20 seconds of playback it stops working and is unwatchable and choppy, etc.
i only used ubuntu with this pc I have not changed the hardware, but now it is completely useless and i've had to go back to windows because it works perfectly in windows. i've tried suse/slackware/gentoo/etc. the sound problem hasn't shown up in those distros, but the video playback(freezing the pc and choppy/unwatchable flash) is the exact same as in ubuntu. i'm assuming the video problems have to do with nvidia's drivers, since the ~ 2-3 year old drivers(which nvidia does not make available for download) worked JUST FINE. still, the alsa problem is a total show stopper on its own, for me, in ubuntu.
