No Audio In Flash w/ Mac OSX Lion

Since the upgrade to Lion I have no longer had any audio in flash videos. I can get to the settings menu on flash videos to Allow them, but can't tick any of the options. Although, this is something I've *never* had to do in OS X over the years. Any ideas as to why I can't get audio now? I've made sure everything in Syst Prefs was correct, which it seems it is, something with Lion defaults to not letting me lol at the internets.

Also, this is the same across the Browser board - Safari - Chrome and Firefox.

As a note as well, this is only on my iMac. My MacBook Air that came pre-installed with Lion plays the audio just fine.

Player Version - MAC 10,3,181,35

Debug Player - No

OS Mac 10.7.0

Video Yes

Audio Yes

Local File I/O Yes

    Similar problem here. No sound on YouTube or Vimeo via Flash players. The scrubbing bar in Google Music stands still and does not play (Google Music runs via Flash). I've scoured forums for an answer for weeks. My Audio Midi Setup is okay. (44.1 khz, 16-bit) and system preferences (sound) is set to the correct output. I will have audio in Flash for a while after I first start my computer. After a few hours, very randomly, flash videos will no longer have audio. As one forum stated, opening Garageband and hitting a few notes on the keyboard will correct the problem. For me, this does not. I cannot play any sounds in Garageband. Also, deleting Flash player preferences in ~Library/Preferences/... does not do anything. It should be noted that system sounds still work for me and all music plays in iTunes and Spotify.

    The only way I can solve the issue is to reboot the computer. This is a temporary solution however, and the issue happens again after a few hours of use. This did not happen with 10.6.x. I'm speculating that it could be a bug that occurs in systems not preinstalled with Lion. Anyone with a solution?

    Flash Player version - 10,3,183,7

    MacBook Pro (Mid-2009)

    OS X - 10.7.1

    CPU - 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

    RAM - 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3

    Disk Utility did not find any permission or disk errors.

    Can you try this against our Flash Player 11rc release?  If it still occurs, please open a new bug at bugbase.adobe.com and include both the steps and behavior along with your system information.

    Thanks,

    I have the same issue. I just reported the issue with a system report as a bug. I tried using 11rc and after a reboot it did function, but after a suspend and back it was gone again.

    youtube, dailyshow, and netflix are affected.
