Ok, this is weird. I installed Kubuntu 9.04 about 2 months ago. During the installation of software, for some reason (wish I knew what I did, but I dont... go easy guys, I´m really new to this LINUX thing) GNOME appeared as an option in the login screen. Gave it a shot, just out of sheer curiosity, and left it as it was.
About 1 week ago, decided to give the beta a shot, and I´m really pleased on how plenty of things have been fixed, including my frustrations with 3G and Jaunty.
Now, however, I´ve been having problems with flash audio not playing (youtube videos) and playing media in VLC, alson without audio (either videos or mp3 files). Amarok, dragon player works just fine. Downloading the video from youtube, and playing it in dragon player worked fine. But playing it on the web browser (either in firefox or konqueror) resulted in no audio at all.
Reading in this and other forums, it seemed that I wasnt alone in the problem, so I figured it had (and I still belive it does) something to do with it being a beta version. However, today, I read about a tip involving the analog output setting, but it was in a ubuntu (gnome) forum. Knowing that I had the gnome desktop already installed, decided to give it a try. Did it, and voila! audio from youtube videos!! Thinking that it was a solved problem, I closed the gnome session, and started my beloved KDE session... tried the SAME video... and nothing... no audio again...
Also, I noticed that I no longer have the "welcome" sound (chimes, whatever) whenever I start my session. (not related to the changes made in the gnome session, the audio stopped working yesterday, when I was fiddling with the output preferences in the multimedia settings in system settings).
Any ideas? tips? I mean... it´s obviously not a firefox, or konqueror problem, or flash plugin, since the same firefox on the same machine, was able to play the same video with audio, right?
Running karmic beta on a MSI Wind U120.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers!
