I've just tried reinstalling pulseaudio and currently installed related
packages. These packages were:
libpulse0, libpulsedsp, pulseaudio, pulseaudio-module-x11, pulseaudio-utils,
pulseaudio-module-bluetooth, gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio, libcanberra-pulse,
libpulse-dev, libpulse-mainloop-glib0,

Title:
I just checked vlc & totem audio for another user (i.e. login) on this PC and
everything Ok. So what could be different about my user specifics as compared
to another user?
gstreamer1.0-libav is installed on all 3 PCs.

Totem uses GStreamer for playing everything, always.
If 'gstreamer1.0-libav' is installed then GStreamer uses libav*
(ffmpeg). Thus in your case Totem is using ffmpeg, but that is not the
default for a fresh Ubuntu installation as gstreamer1.0-libav is not
installed by default.
Sounds like maybe
Another interesting point is that totem has no dependencies on packages with
"ffmpeg" or "libav" as part of the package name. So what is common to totem &
vlc that prevents audio working whereas it works on banshee & clementine?
Comment #33 implies that the problem is not with ffmpeg as ffplay
Apologies. I forgot to attach the log. I'm so used to Thunderbird where
it reminds you if you forget to make an attachment identified as needing
one from the email.

I ran the vlc & ffplay commands suggested above to give a log which is
attached. Is "mpgatofixed32 audio converter error: libmad error: bad
main_data_begin pointer" in the vlc significant as it's not in the ffplay log?
ffmpeg version 3.2.6-1~backport1.1~xenial package is part of the get-iplayer
To get more logs you can run:
mplayer -v
ffplay -loglevel verbose
vlc --verbose=2
To play files with ffmpeg you want to run "ffplay" not "ffmpeg".
Also I notice:
ffmpeg version 3.2.6-1~backport1.1~xenial
This is another different version of ffmpeg you tried to install?

Another piece of information. Looking at the documentation for ffmpeg,
it mentioned ffplay. So I tried that in Terminal (attached) and the
sound was working. So what's so different between ffmpeg a& ffplay? BTW
I reverted back to the get_iplayer ppa for ffmpeg as that ppa (using
ffmpeg) works Ok
Here is something really interesting. mplayer (from CLI) plays mp3 Ok. mplayer
has libav/ffmpeg dependencies of libavcodec-ffmpeg56, libavutil-ffmpeg &
libavformat-ffmpeg56. vlc only has the first 2 of those packages as
libav/ffmpeg dependencies. So my deduction is that this problem has nothing
I've now checked all the ffmpeg & libav packages against those on the PC
on which sound works. They all match and I've done all the reinstalls
again but still sound doesn't play for vlc on mp3 files. I can't think
of anything to do next. I don't want to reinstall Ubuntu as that's a big
job in
I did intentionally omit some ffmpeg packages that I thought should be
irrelevant, but you can try reinstalling those too. It won't hurt.

To manage
Yes you're correct in that I meant totem (not vlc) when I was referring to
playing a video file after "sudo apt remove gstreamer1.0-libav".
When you say a complete reinstall, do you mean a complete reinstall of Ubuntu?
Isn't there a way of removing ffmpeg packages and reinstalling them?

I think you mean "totem", not "vlc", right?
That complaint from totem is half-expected. I thought gstreamer had
alternative plugins to cover common mp4 cases, but I can't find those
alternatives. So we're stuck with gstreamer1.0-libav, which depends on
your broken ffmpeg installation.
And that's
I've tried mp3, ogg, wav and aac: all fail to make audio work.

This command does NOT make audio work in Totem for an mp4 video file?

It actually caused vlc to say that it needed the gstreamer1.0-libav
1. Is there any file type for which VLC can play the audio?
2. Can you provide a screenshot (Alt+PrtScn) of the dialog: VLC > Tools

Yes I had the same thought; that this sounds specific to ffmpeg
libraries/apps. Like VLC.
Although Chrome uses ffmpeg it contains its own private (older) version.
So that's why Chrome/Chromium would be unaffected.
Totem wouldn't usually be affected, except that having
gstreamer1.0-libav
I thought that I'd just mention another bug 1753385 (for Sound
