Later MikeThat shouldn't make any difference unless there are bugs in either a) the 64-bit Linux Flash module [if you even have it - probably not yet], or b) the 64-bit drivers for your sound card, which would be immediately obvious in other applications.
My guess is that you've got the download helper application set to automatically transcode the FLV into something more common, like MP4 or AVI or similar, and the transcoding parameters are wrong. [Or c) a bug in the transcoding library]
- Does the audio sound crappy when listening to the clip in a browser
through the flash plugin on another operating system? 2. Does the audio sound crappy when listening to the clip in a browser through the flash plugin when running a 32-bit linux LiveCD? (Ubuntu LiveCD will let you install Flash, FYI. Not sure what others will.) 3. Does the audio sound crappy when listening to the clip in a browser through the flash plugin under 64-bit linux? 4. Try just saving the FLV as-is, then playing it back with VLC. See if the audio sounds crappy there. 5. Now try manually transcoding it to WMV/AVI/MP4/whatever. Does the problem happen here? 6. Lastly, try your favourite downloading tool again. Is this where the audio problem happens? If so, use a different tool or figure out what settings are set wrong.

If'n it ain't the darndest thing... I checked out everything and all the things were loaded in the 64bit side. I couldn't get the sound working at all in the 32bit LXDE side (it did work with the loaner I had while I had this motherboard replaced). Then I thought "what if" and then disabled the onboard sound. it worked initially in the 64bit side, but still get nothing in 32 bit. Go figure... I tried downloading another clip and the problem was back. The only difference was Firefox was running. Turning off Firefox solved the problem. Even the conversion works properly now.
I have two things I can show the client on Friday. If I can get Minitube working I'll have three. ;-)
