If you have an sse2 CPU, there was a bug with flashplayer which likely affects you -- it has been resolved on other systems by downgrading flashplayer, as shown in the link fanthom pointed to. Please try using that version of flashplayer and let us know if sound is still missing.
Dear Ahau:
Hindsight is 20/20! Everything functions ok
w/iceweasel bundled w/knoppix 7.03. If YouTube needs flashplayer, I see no sign of it as an iceweasel plugin. Can I assumb it doesn't need it? If it does, can its flashplayer version be located/verified? 'GNOME-AlsaMixer' is what I got to function w/knoppix.

Dear Ahau:
In the past, some like gnome-alsamixer, others favor pulseaudio. I'm quite sure Porteus needs these alternatives. Downgrading flashplayer did NOT restore YouTube audio on the hp dv8000 hardware. Very difficult problem!
