My sm player does not play audio.What should i do? I am a new bee. when i go to system hardware sound it shows that no applications are playing the audio. I have ALSA installed.
Welcome to the forums !!!
Please look for the Multimedia Guide, restricted formats. You need the codecs from Packman to play mp3 and other formats. The guide is in the forums, search for ‘restricted’ and you’ll find the link to it.
does audio work for you with other applications?
Have youu tried going into smplayer preferences and specifying that it use alsa to handle audio there?
One more hint: check your mixer (Alt + F2, then type ‘kmix’ as you seem to use KDE).
