Well, according to all the output you sent me, I can find no good reason why your sound controls would show "dummy output". You should be able to control the sound mixer controls using alsamixer or gnome-alsamixer.
Is sound in all applications working correctly? If sound is working correctly, then the "dummy output" seems like a cosmetic issue and should be safely ignored....

The 'dummy output' notice appeared at ramndom. At times I had sound, at other times I had silence. Something in my system was causing the problem, but I don't know what. I upgraded to ubuntu 9.10 about 10 days ago, and this may have caused the problem. In the meantime I have reinstalled a flash player and everything seems to be working fine now.
Thank you very much for your help and advice.
