Helllo , I’m running Suse 11.1 and I have this problem:
while running movie with mplayer from the terminal the sound is fine. But when I try to play something else there is no sound. Even in youtube there is no sound. The sound manager in Yast gets my sound card, but when try to make a tets sound - Nothing?Any suggestions please ??
First, I note you state you can play a movie with mplayer from the terminal. Great ! So basic sound works. … As an aside - install smplayer from packman. Its a front end GUI to mplayer and it is great! Incredible even.
Reference youtube. That could be your browsers ability to play flash. Some 32-bit and 64-bit users have discovered if they keep flash-player but remove libflashsupport, their audio will work. Try that. Maybe also let us know if your PC is a 32-bit or 64-bit ?
As for YaST test sound not working - there is a known bug in YaST sound module where for some sound cards the test sound does not work.
No sound where? With flash and firefox? You may have a 64-bit PC flash problem - in which case, I probably don’t know enough to help you there with wasting a lot of time hunting back and forth with various ideas. Someone else who can “cut to the chase” quicker with setting up flash on a 64-bit system should step in here.
Yes I tried smplayer but again nothing . I didn;t get how when testing in terminal there is sound : mplayer, the test sound left, right… but when I tried with vlc for example no sound?
There should be should in smplayer if there is sound in mplayer. Note smplayer lets one select the sound engine. Go to smplayer > options > preferences > audio and try different output drivers.
Some with vlc. Go to vlc > tools > preferences > audio > output and try different settings.
Also try it with different files, to ensure its no some obscure format that is causing the problem.
Hi, I think I get the problem. When I run a program Xmms to play a file - no sound , but when run it from terminal as su yes the sound is ok how to fix that??any ideas??
