Is there difference, if it is ogg/mp3/or something else ?

With what, amarok/juk/or something else ?

Re: Sound problem

The crash happend too fast I am not able to see which application is called
All settings are still default for my distribution... just installed
If I want to listen to the spam security letters by registering in the forum for example it crashes.
I can hear the system alarms
If I go in the System settings>sound and multimedia in the hardware tab I see auto detect but nothing else, is that normal?
If I try to open a mp3 file Amarok opens but can't start to play the music. I select the file press play and get message play list finished
Voila, this is what I can see with my newbee eyes
Thanks in advance for your comprehension and help.

Re: Sound probleme

Follow the instructions on How to: Play MP3 files to ensure that you have the required codecs to play mp3 files.

You can change default application:

Alt + F2 type kcontrol > KDE Components > File Associations > Audio >...

Yes, If you want info: K > System > KInfoCenter -> Sound
or in the konsole (you need to install lshw):

sudo lshw

or

sudo lshw -html > Hardware.html

(will make Hardware.html file)


man lshw:
