no sound in amarok

[John Hricko]

Binary package hint: amarok

Sound does work. Beep sounds, Rhythm box (ogg), but playlists don't work or mp3s don't work in Amarok. The player _looks_ like it's playing (duration), but no sound, and the 'equalizer' display that usually bounces around -nada. I haven't played around with ALSA or anything. Everything else works SO nicely, I don't want to screw up anything.

sounds like you dont have libxine-extracodecs installed ( mp3 support for amarok ) , try to play an ogg file in amarok, should work fine, then install that " sudo apt-get install libxine-extracodecs " with the universe repo enabled

let me know how it go's

Brandon, THANK YOU, and all your kind!! Let me tell you, I've had my
eye on oss for years, and ya'll are VERY CLOSE to taking over the
WORLD! God (sri krishna, buddah, allah, etc) BLESS YOU EVErY ONE!

actually, I finally remembered the article on what to add to ubuntu
(this guys 'perfect setup', etc) at the end, he mentioned "Oh yeah, and
of course, easyubuntu....

That helped a lot. although, going thru the instructions, I was
interrupted by a 'dialog' box that had tabs & checkmarks for adding
non-oss media standards, etc (mp3, flash,...) So the instructions seem
to need updating. Maybe I should help,

Is there a place for suggestions? I was using dynebolic for a while,
and damn if that's not a neat thing. I was as impressed with their
'installation' method as much as how many audio & media apps worked
'out of the box', especially after 'docking'. very cool - check it out.
The LiveCD thing is also a big help to open source propagation.

I've relegated myself to 'simply an end-user' ever since my FORTRAN
class YEARS ago. but the industry seems SO much more exciting now. So
many possibilities, so open, so great to see humanity helping each
other instead of competing each other (to death...).

ROCK ON!
