Opensuse 12.3 - no sound for mp3s

Several updates ago (not sure which one broke it) the sound for mp3s stopped working. My userid is in the audio group, I own the files in /run/user/1013/pulse, flash works fine,
I can run the sound test from Yast & from the command line and both work. I have gstreamer-0_10-fluendo-mp3 installed.

Here is the device list,

aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC269VB Analog [ALC269VB Analog]
Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Not sure what is going on, any help would be appreciated.

Thank You.

And with what program are you trying to play your mp3s?

Vlc & Amarok

Do you have “vlc-codecs” installed?

Please post your repo list as well:

zypper lr -d

Ok.
But I see you also have the multimedia:apps repo. Maybe you have some incompatible package mix between this and Packman?
Try to run this to switch all packages to the Packman versions:

sudo zypper dup --from 1

Can you play mp3s then?

Ran the zypper command and still no sound.

Hm, then it should be no codec problem.
Can you play other files (like ogg or wav)?

Does it work when you disable PulseAudio?
YaST->Hardware->Sound->Other->PulseAudio Configuration (logout/login or reboot after changing that setting).

I will give that a try on Monday (it’s my desktop at work), unfortunately I need to leave now for a memorial service.
Thank You for the help, I will post on Monday if that works.

I went into sound settings and turned off pulseaudio (so I thought) and rebooted. Still no sound from VLC, so I did it again.
Rebooted and checked and pulseaudio still had a check in the box. Tried turning it off again, making sure that I hit the OK
button each time. Rebooted and now VLC is working. So turning off pulseaudio worked, is it a config issue?

I concur.
There were some updates which seem to have wrecked gstreamer(?) support of MP3.
My main audio player is audacious and today it has suddenly refused to work, bemoaning a missing decoder for mp3.
I did an update on the 24th and 31st, the log of the latter is below:

Since I have been working on the 26th and listening to music at that I am sure this update did it.
Kaffeine does the work now, but I’d like to revert back.
If there’s any wisdom on the matter I’d appreciate it before I start reverting the changes by hand one-by-one.

Cheers and a happy new year!

some (irrelevant) updates have been omitted due to post limitations.

Install the package “audacious-plugins-extra” and mp3s should work.

With the update to version 3.4 the packaging layout has changed. There’s only audacious-plugins and audacious-plugins-extra (that one didn’t exist before and contains all restricted codecs) now, so you should uninstall all other audacious-plugins-* from the older version too.

And no, audacious does not use gstreamer.
