@Andy Finch Thanks. Inspired by that faq, I looked into ffmpeg more closely and discovered that my issue was with it. I also found a solution.
For completeness I opened (and closed) a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openshot/+bug/632016 It'll be fixed in my distribution directly: http://dev.unity-linux.org/issues/236 -- No sound when previewing a video https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/440721 You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenShot Developers, which is subscribed to OpenShot Video Editor. Status in OpenShot Video Editor: Incomplete Bug description: There is no sound when previewing a video. I didn't have the audio on the track muted, and pavucontrol showed no sound coming out of the app. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openshot.developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openshot.developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
