Any suggestions as to what is missing? How to fix this?


Under Debian Jessie + icewm, I had installed vlc: No pictures no sound.

Sb. in this forum was advised to use mplayer.

So I purged vlc, used deborphan to get rid of it's fringe benefits, and
as a layman in video and sound, installed mplayer AND smplayer.

After fiddling a little within smplayer's menu, I could enjoy a film DVD,

Thanks, this did the trick. I now have both video and the audio track.

Supplement:

My sound system is based on pulseaudio + alsamixer.

After hibernation, my sound is blocked sometimes, e.g. when I start
youtube under firefox before the sound is active.

For this problem, I start this alias:

alias pulse='sudo kill -9 $(pidof pulseaudio) && alsamixer -c0'

(making sure that pulseaudio isn't installed twice.)
