Help: No sound in kaffeine

[joneall]

I installed rubyripper, for which I also installed the following:

cd-discid cdparanoia flac mp3gain normalize-audio ruby-gnome2 ruby vorbisgain

and now I have no sound from Amarok, Kaffeine or Exaile. SMplayer works ok, tho.

What to do so everything works?

Re: Help: No sound in amarok, kaffeine, exaile

Hmm. After rebooting this morning, Amarok and Exaile work, as does SMplayer.

But Kaffeine still does not.

So I modified the title of this message.

Re: Help: No sound in kaffeine

In a root konsole open alsamixer and look for a control marked "digital". If you find it, raise its volume level to the top, just below the red range. If your sound device doesn't show a "digital" column in alsamixer then my suggestion is to look for other controls with a setting of zero and raise them, then retry Kaffeine.

Didn't find anything called "digital", but I raised everything else. Still no sound from Kaffeine.

Bizarre.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Also see if there are channels muted- There is a small field under each slider which has an X in it when muted. You can have 100% in the sliders but still a muted output.

Re: Help: No sound in kaffeine

I don't run Kaffeine, but like most of these video players it must have a "preference" or "configuration" or "settings" menu option in which you can change the type of sound device .... ALSA, your specific chip, some file in /dev/.., etc.
Experiment with that setting till you get sound. You may have to restart Kaffeine after each change.
