Maybe a codec is missing, most codecs and other useful stuff can be installed with this command:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

(You can also install ubuntu-restricted-extras in the software center.)

Can you give the output of:

sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'

Thanks
