audio/video problem at vlc/kaffeine/smplayer

[mr_rune]

hi again

the problem now are:

1-when i open smplayer, i have sound, but no video: its a transparent window with the player logo, but the file is running

2-i try the same thing at vlc: the first time it works wonderfully; then, if i open another file (in any way) it gives video, but no sound at all and the message "Potential ALSA version problem:
VLC failed to initialize your sound output device (if any).
Please update alsa-lib to version 1.0.24 or higher to try to fix this issue."; it gives another error messages at the konsole, i can put them here if it helps
i tried to update the alsa-lib but didn't found it

3-after these i tried the same files at kaffeine: the player just didn't open them, and did nothing at all, just stayed there, no error message, nothing

the files are .avi and .mkv
i reinstalled the players from all the ways i know, with no results

thanks in advance

i'm totally lost here.....vlc starts to play sound normally if i forward the video and rewind
the guide confused me even more, and now when i play the sound test it says my reproduction device doesn't works and reverts to the hdmi device which isn't plugged

i mean, where is the problem??

OK did you do this:

So is this more of a sound problem?

[mr_rune]

i didn't knew i could do that

i did it, but the problem remains the same

a reboot resolves....but only for the first file, from the second on, got no sound
