Public bug reported:
I am running Ubuntu 8.04 on an AMD 64 X2 5000+ machine with a Creative
Soundblaster X-Fi audiocard. All relevant updates are installed. Due to
the well-known problem with Creative drivers for Linux, I followed the
instructions on Ubuntu forum thread 571656 to get the audio working
using OSS4, which worked fairly satisfactorily until the recent non-free
flashplayer plugin update to 10.1.218+10.0.0.525ubuntu1~hardy1, after
which internet audio (e g, YouTube), no longer worked. Nor could I any
longer listen to CDs on my machine, something which I previously had
been able to do using, e g, Rhthymbox. I could still, however, listen to
downloaded music files, but not, as before, via Rythymbox ; the only
programme which now worked was VLC Media Player (but to rip a file from
a CD, I had to use Sound Juicer) ! This morning I installed the latest
flashplayer update
(10.1.218+10.0.0.525ubuntu1~hardy1+really9.0.1240ubuntu2), designed, I
understand, to resolve backporting problems, but alas, this did not
resolve the difficulties described above. To listen to internet audio or
directly to my CDs on my machine, I am forced to boot into Windows
OS....
