Title:
  nvidia drivers work great except flash playback is very choppy and if
  i watch a video with vlc the system will lock up(running xfx 7600gt)
  worked just fine until a couple releases ago, now my system is useless
  in ubuntu.

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  for 3 years i ran the same hardware with every release of ubuntu and
  it ran perfectly, until about 6 months ago.  now i have issues with
  sound/video/flash.  the sound doesn't work right, the settings won't
  stay where i put them and the playback is low and choppy.  the nvidia
  drivers look pretty with compiz, but with or without compiz the
  computer freezes up when i play a video with vlc-works fine until
  every 5-10 videos it freezes.  i get errors with movieplayer--
  connection terminated, etc.  trying to watch a flash video online is
  pointless, because after 20 seconds of playback it stops working and
  is unwatchable and choppy, etc.

  
  i only used ubuntu with this pc I have not changed the hardware, but now it is completely useless and i've had to go back to windows because it works perfectly in windows.  i've tried suse/slackware/gentoo/etc. the sound problem hasn't shown up in those distros, but the video playback(freezing the pc and choppy/unwatchable flash) is the exact same as in ubuntu.

  i'm assuming the video problems have to do with nvidia's drivers,
  since the ~ 2-3 year old drivers(which nvidia does not make available
  for download) worked JUST FINE.  still, the alsa problem is a total
  show stopper on its own, for me, in ubuntu.
