Kaffeine & other work, Firefox video = no sound

English Multimedia
#1

I have a problem with getting sound when trying to watch videos on Firefox. A few days ago, I de-installed phonos because I was getting an error message informing me that it could not be loaded properly and so Linux was shifting to the Nvidia sound controller instead of using my Sound Card Santa Cruz from Turtle Beach. (I have been using this card for the past 3 years, with OpenSuse 10.2 all the way up to 11.1 without any problems at all).

This had the effect that when I ran Kaffeine, smplayer or any other video player, I had no sound, so I decided to de-install phonos.

Since de-installing phonos, I have not been able to watch any video files online, be it on the BBC website, CNN, Youtube, in-fact none of them work.

After de-installing phonos, I could once again use my video players without a problem.

Can anyone help me out here. I would like to go back to the point where I can watch a DVD or TV program on Kaffeine or other vid player, and still watch Youtube videos, or reports from CNN or the BBC, or any other online video service.

Thanks.

Have you checked the settings for the backend in Desktop Config - Multimedia? I’m using xine.
Do you mean phonon ? Not phonos? That you removed?

#3

That’s it, phonon. Sorry, I knew it was something with phono… but couldn’t remember the last letter.

Here is what my Desktop Config - Multimedia - Backend looks like

I am using Xine.

I just noticed that when playing a video from Youtube, there is no audio but also the video moves forward faster than normal. For example, a 1 min video will be shown in less than 30 - 40 secs.

Repo #5 should be removed if you are using Factory 4.3.1

Rep #8 is not required

Though I can’t see these being related to your issue.

Just check in Packman that you have everything up to date - no red or blue showing.

#7

I have removed #5 and #8. How do I check in Packman that everything is up to date?

#8

Software Management
Filter by repo
select Packman
from the top - Packages - All in this list Update Unconditionally

#9

I have done this, however, when I click on the “All in this list Update” I get a long list of error messages:

](http://www.imagebam.com/image/7b2fa747764852/)http://thumbnails.imagebam.com/4777/7b2fa747764852.gif

](http://www.imagebam.com/image/aece9b47764858/)http://thumbnails5.imagebam.com/4777/aece9b47764858.gif

Some are to change vendors, which is fine, I don’t have a problem with that, others allow only not to install a bunch of other files and what not. I can go through the list slowly and make the easy decisions but where it asks whether to delete certain files, I am not sure what to do there. I don’t want to delete the wrong files and make things even worse.

#10

If you use the expert button on the error box and save it to file, then post it here, I can edit it for you.

Most of the answers are simple enough, change to Packman. Some though may be personal, eg; amarok, would you want to use the kde4 one or keep the older more useful packman/kde3 version

Anyway post the details as I ask:

#11

Right I have the file here:

Yes I would like to keep the better older version of Amarok. But there is the question of k3b, install, deinstallation and they seem to have the same version number. I am not sure what “speex” is for; or whether I’ll need mjpegtools later on.

On a personal not, how are you. I haven’t been here for a couple of months since you last helped me. That says it all really, my PC has been running perfectly for since you worked on it.

That should do it

#13

Ok. Done as you asked, and it ran through without a problem.

What next?

#14

I take it - No change.
You could re-install Phonon and just ignore the error. If everything worked before you removed it!?

#15

I removed it because it was getting disabled or couldn’t load properly. I just checked, it’s been re-installed, but there is little change. The video runs fine but there is no accompanying audio.

This is what has been installed as far as phonon is concerned. Do I have everything right or do I need to change something?

#16

That looks OK to me.

No audio at all, or just FF?

Check in kmix, see if you are using master channel. Try different settings.

#17

Just FF. Kaffeine, XMMS et-al are working fine.

#18

More specifically is this flash
Try removing the package libflashsupport

#19

That was it. I removed libflashsupport, re-started FF, went on over to youtube clicked on a vid and hey presto, it worked.

Thank you very much.

#20

We are full of helpful info;)
Happy it worked for you!
