Hello People,
I had just installed openSUSE11.2.
I Tried to play video files (.avi & .vob) in Kaffeine, but was unable to hear any audio. Then i went to the packmn site and installed the package from there, with no positive results.
After that i installed VLC and then tried playing. Same story, video is good, but no audio.
Any solutions, i tried google, no use.
Any solutions, help needed.
Thank you.
Hi again,
Just wanted to add some more details.
I am using KDE desktop.
Just realised that, i am not able to hear any audio even when videos are played in browser(mozilla) like youtube and metacafe, only the video is visible.
And yes, i am able hear audio in Amarok and the when system login and logout.
And, the video files when played in the preview of Dolphin, file manager, i am able to hear the audio.
Thank you People.
You should be able to hear audio from those applications. Like an unfamliarity with openSUSE linux running on your hardware is making this difficult, when with practise it is easy.
Note, you should NOT mix applications from the Packman and Videolan repositories.
Note you should only test with one application playing sound at a time.
Take a look at this guide: Multi-media and Restricted Format Installation Guide - openSUSE Forums
And take a look at this troubleshooting guide: Check your multimedia problem in ten steps - openSUSE Forums
Typically one can choose gstreamer or xine engines/backend to amarok. I prefer the xine engine, which means also installing the packman packaged libxine1.
I do not recommend the one click install, but rather I recommend simply setting up 4 and only 4 (no other) repositories: OSS,Non-OSS, Update and Packman. Guidance is here: Repositories/11.2 - openSUSE-Community
Once that is setup, one can then go to YaST > Software > Software Mangement and search for and install applications. One has FAR more control over what is installed and what is not installed that way. One can tell a package comes from packman by the “pm” in the version number.
