Ever since I installed 64-bit Fedora on this laptop, I’ve been having some issues with Flash. For a lot of Flash videos, the sound contains a rhymic beeping or corruption that made it difficult to listen to. I tried googling the problem several times, but although there were solutions for a complete lack of sound, I couldn’t find a reference to my particular problem.
A couple of days ago, I finally found a solution here . Flash now works without beeping, and seems more stable than it was before. I just wish that the Fedora and/or glibc people would implement the known fix on their side, even if it is frustrating to have to work around problems with a low-quality, closed-source program.
