I have tried every browser there is, and can't get a single
one of them to produce any sound whatsoever. Whatever the
problem is, it seems to be something they _all_ require.

I have noticed that KDE starts up muted sometimes fro me, or perhaps something
changed your backend playback settings.

Enable the 'partner' repository and 'sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin adobe-flash-properties-kde' will get you the latest version of flash and the KDE system settings module that will help you configure it.

guess you _could_ say that I did just get it working, but
only by going into preferences, and setting every video
setting to dragon player. This opens up an entirely
different window to play the video in, but at least there's
sound. Now to see if download helper will work this way.
I have 11.10 on 9 different machines ranging from older (6+ years old
laptop) to new (brand new home build desktop) and pulseaudio works
flawlessly on all of them.
Run alsamixer in terminal to make sure there are no other sound devices
being found and that the one you want is default and all sound output is
full volume.
Run sudo apt-get install pulseaudio --reinstall
Maybe try an open source flash player. Gnash is one of them.
I'll dig a little deeper when I get home from work
Sorry, I meant flash plug in but my spell checker thought it knew better.
There is more than one flash plug in. I think I've had more luck with the
official Adobe version but find out which you have been installing and try
the other. Both are in the repositories.

Install the Veromix plasmoid and play a .flv file and check that sound
for flash is not muted in pulseaudio
