I just updated my 11.10 Ubuntu from the regular auto updater. After I restarted my laptop I have no sound and the videos in YouTube (and other websites) play super fast.

Not sure if it has something to do with the case, but since last night I get hd0 out of disk error before the grub screen and on the login screen I have some delay before I can type my password. In the console I see errors like these: status: {DRDY err}.

I could say the errors have something to do with the sound problem and the flash player, but if this happened when I got the hd0 error, not now after the regular daily update.

Here is the update history log from /var/log/apt/history.log

So the solution found on, Flash video plays very fast without any sound, and that is to install Pulse Audio Volume Control pavucontrol

sudo apt-get install pavucontrol

now run pavucontrol,

pavucontrol

go to the Configuration tab and turn off the sound devices you don't use, most likely your video card is being listed as a sound device. Happy flash viewing!

pavucontrol works partially to me. By setting Profile to off just the video stream no more fast but audio still doesn't will output anymore.
