Hi All. Today I discovered a little audio error that I hadn't noticed before. Perhaps this has only just occured as I'm using 8.10 so there are daily (or almost) updates.
Some applications simply do not play any audio. I've just tried an mp3 in audacious, nothing. I tried hovering the mouse over the file in Nautilus, nothing. But the same file plays fine in vlc. AVI files play fine in xine but not the default mplayer. When I go to System -> Preferences -> Sound and select test under Music and Movies: Sound Playback I receive the following error: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=music: Failed to connect: Connection refused That's using Pulse Audio. If I select OSS I receive: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=music: Could not open audio device for playback. Device is being used by another application. If I select ALSA I receive: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=music: Could not open audio device for playback I'm not quite sure what's going on here as sound is certainly working in some applications. -- Simon Ives [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.simonives.info Please consider the environment before printing this email or any attachments.
