You haven't made it clear - in any of your subsequent posts, either -  
if sound is working for other applications.

If you get a new email, does your laptop go "bing!"? Can you play an  
MP3 by double clicking on it or at the command line? What if you run  
mplayer at the command line on an AVI video?

If you have only previously used your laptop for email, surfing the  
web or writing code, it's not clear that sound may *ever* have been  
working on it. IMO you need to get sound working for a basic program  
that uses audio before worrying about Flash, which seems more  
problematic.
