After the upgrade to Hardy Heron you may have noticed a problem in your sound. Specifically, you may notice that you cannot simultaneously listen to both Youtube video and other audio applications. You have to close the one or the other, for the sound to come up.
The problem is caused because since Hardy Heron the PulseAudio is used by default as an audio server, and flash exhibits a faulty behavior because of that.
To fix the problem is as simple as typing:
Then close all application that play audio, including web browsers, like FireFox; make sure that you close all browser windows, or yet better do it from File → Quit.
Restart the PulseAudio server:
and you're done.
