ok got the system's sound to work and now have sound in XBMC, VLC, and the mp3 player. Thanks for the info on the switcher file.
However, I still cannot get the sound in flash to work. I've found a few (read as hundreds of links) on the web but nothing definitive. Any one have any words of wisdom? BTW trying to do this over HDMI on a ATI 4250 chipset.

Ok sounds like a pulseaudio sound issue. The HDMI switcher configures ALSA audio. To configure pulse click on the sound icon then go to configuration and select digital stereo (HDMI) Output.
If all else fails you could see if killing pulseaudio fixes it. In command line type.
pulseaudio -k
Should at least help me narrow it down.
i have a 4550 so I should be able to do some more testing on this if your problem persists.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
OK, first off that was already checked in the configuration tab.
second. I'm sure it's something obvious but I seem to not be able to run the command you gave me.
home@WebbHTPC:/usr/share/applications$ pulseaudio -k
E: main.c: Failed to kill daemon: No such process
home@WebbHTPC:/usr/share/applications$ su -

su: Authentication failure
home@WebbHTPC:/usr/share/applications$ sudo pulseaudio -k
password for home:
E: core-util.c: Home directory /home/home not ours.
E: main.c: Failed to kill daemon: Permission denied
I'm stumped.

Sorry, I hope to get to this soon. I went on vacation for a week. Then I had to work around the clock. I finally got some free time after I went back to normal hours and I go to start up my computer and the hard drive died. I have it back up and running and should be able to start development again. Don't worry I'm still dedicated to this project just having some set backs.

Were you able to recreate the problem with your 4550?
Cheers!

brw02005,
Any luck with this? I'm not sure where to start to troubleshoot. It may be the AMD 4200 chipset. Sound in XBMC works, just not in flash.
Cheers!
Peter
New release should fix any sound issues you have two years later. Better late than never.
