Hello,
to play a song with amarok or banshee not heard all the words, hear the music but the lyrics only in parts.
It’s very strange, I never had happened.
What openSUSE version are you using?
What desktop are you using?
What amarok version are you using? Who packaged this amarok version? What sound backend do you have selected to use in this Amarok version?
What repositories do you have setup in your software package manager (ie what is output of:
zypper lr -d
Do you have pulse audio enabled?
What are the audio codecs of the music files you are trying to play ?
I think if you investigate those questions, it may give you (or others trying to help) a better indication as to what may be wrong.
Is this how the players generally perform with any audio format? It sounds strange anyway, most likely a corrupted file. An audio-file consist normally of 2 channels (stereo), and (normally) no separate channel for the voice. An audio player isn’t, as far as I know, capable of distorting the voice without also distorting the rest of what is included on the track, except if the frequency area for the voice is solely reserved for that voice, and that the player has some issues with reproducing those frequencies.
Cheers
I happens both amarok and banshee so I do not think it is problem of the player.
OpenSUSE 11.2 with GNOME 2.28.
If enabled pulse audio.
I do not know what codecs are being used.
Amarok version 2.1.1 obtained from one-click-install
Zypper lr-d Command

AFAICS this has to do with pulseaudio.
I watched the preferences of pulse audio and all options unchecked.
Some letters I hear them in a different tone to the original, as if the voice was distorted
IMHO you should disable repositories #1, #2, #3, #4 and #5. You risk installing applications that are unstable and have not been thoroughly tested with openSUSE, and unless you have above average to advanced knowledge it is unlikely you will be able to solve any such potential problems. Keep your permanently enabled repositories restricted to OSS, Non-OSS, Update and Packman, until you are an ADVANCED user.
Install “mediainfo” from packman and then determine this. Its not difficult.
STOP using one click. It causes more problems than it solves, especially if users elect to keep the repositories it adds as opposed to removing them.
If you think it a pulse problem, you could open up a Terminal session and enter su - and then the password.
At the terminal prompt enter this command.
setup-pulseaudio --disable
restart and test.
If that does not work, then enable it again with:
setup-pulseaudio --enable
Is solved.
I disabled pulse audio and re-listen everything correctly, then I re-enabled and everything ok
Thank you.
