hi,
i may have post this issue in the wrong place. i think perhaps it is better here…
GStreamer plugins or devices… - openSUSE Forums
i am getting errors about gstreamer plugins not installed but i do show that some are.
please advise.
this issue stems from an audio problem on an ibook g4 ppc.
i follow the procedure here…
SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE
i get sound at the end of step 2 however i still get the gstreamer error and when i reboot the changes made by following the directions on the audiotroubleshooting page seem to be lost.
I know nothing about the gstreamer errors, but re: keeping your sound settings, try the following… Set up your sound levels such that your sound works, then in a gnome-terminal or konsole copy and paste:
su -c ‘alsactl store’
and see if that saves your settings.
“speaker-test -Dplug:front -c2 -l5 -twav” does function after i run alsaconf.
“su -c ‘alsactl store’” is not saving the new settings after reboot.
also i added the user id to the audio group in the user admin panel. no reason to doubt that this is key to getting audio to work too.:\
at least i have uncovered some more subtle problems i should post in another thread.
OK, … another possibility is to reboot your PC, and test your audio with (but do NOT run alsaconf):speaker-test -Dplug:front -c2 -l5 -twavif that gives no sound, then run:
su -c 'rcalsasound restart’and again test your sound withspeaker-test -Dplug:front -c2 -l5 -twav
if that works, then its a simple matter of adding “rcalsasound restart” (no quotes) to your /etc/init.d/boot.local file (or something like that).
I’ve read of users who use the ndiswrapper for their wireless experiencing this sort of problem.
