I'm afraid that you'll get a loooonnnnggg silence on this issue here :-( It is, and has been a problem for some time. But a question first: do you have JMF installed (see the recent thread "help - Impress - Sound - export")? That's the first step in getting any sound to work on linux w/Impress. Here was what I did to get it working in my distro: OK, after all this time I *finally* got JMF to work. The trick was following a combination of the Sun instructions, instructions from posts 2 (james_h) and 7 (hovel). Here is what I did (this is on Ubuntu 7.04 w/OOo 2.3 so modify according to your distro): 1. Downloaded the JMF bin file from: http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/download.html Followed the instructions on that page: <quote> If you are installing the JMF Performance Pack for Linux * Change directories to the install location. * Run the command % /bin/sh ./jmf-2_1_1e-linux-i586.bin </quote> by moving the file to my /opt directory. 2. From a terminal: $ cd /opt $ sudo /bin/sh ./jmf-2_1_1e-solaris-sparc.bin Accepted/yes to all except the last where it recommends that you enter "no". That creates the /opt/JMF-2.1.1e folder/directory $ export JMFHOME=/opt/JMF-2.1.1e $ export CLASSPATH=$JMFHOME/lib/jmf.jar::$JMFHOME/lib/sound.jar:.:${CLASSPATH} $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$JMFHOME/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} 3. Opened OOo: Tools/Options/Java/Class Path - _browse_ to /opt/JMF-2.1.1e/lib and click on jmf.jar - click OK. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
