As I wrote earlier, the loss of sound is in all video playback programs,
except for one (UM Player), although it works when playing videos from
websites in Firefox.
The default video player in Ubuntu Studio (just called Videos) is not
playing any sound, and that is not from a PPA.
Does anyone else have this problem or any idea on how to resolve it?

I am having a problem with getting sound from videos. It used to
work just fine, no problem, regardless of video format/codecs.
But since the last few days, when I play a video in the default
video player in Ubuntu Studio 14.04 there is no sound. Same goes
for using VLC and Xine. However, if I play it in UMPlayer, the
sound works. Sound in other applications, e.g. playing a video in
Firefox, works perfectly, or playing music in Rhythmbox, so I know
my sound system is functioning. But no more sound in some video
playback, so what could cause that and how would I fix that?
I am wondering if a recent update might have caused this.
are you using any PPAs? if its just one isolated player that is not
playing the files, i would either remove/rename the config file for
the application in my users /home, or test playing a file with the
application as another user or the guest user. this will tell you if
its a problem with the actual application, or the config file for the
application in your users /home.
if you find you have a bug, you can use
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs
what i like to do is lay out the *exact* circumstances for the issue,
as well as, in your case, sharing a common file that is not playing
for you so that another user, such as myself, can test and try and
replicate the issue. keep in mind, if you are using PPA's, make sure
the files that are being used are ubuntu files/applications and not
files from the PPA's.. if you use PPA's, you will report issues/bugs
with those files/applications provided by the PPA's with the PPA
maintainers..
good luck and let us know what you figure out..
