Hi
I've been restraining myself from posting for the last few days since installing dapper, but I've gotten to the point where I need somone else's help.
I have installed dapper 3 days ago and it is not my first time I play with Linux or (k)ubuntu, but my knowledge is extremely limited, so forgive me if I am missing some basic knowledge.
I've tried the stock Amarok that comes with dapper and could not get any sound from it. I do not get any errors, it behaves as it would if it was working, but playing the track lasts only a second at most and no sound comes from the machine.
In my attempts to get it working I came across Amarok 1.4 b3 and installed that, seeing as it had dapper packages, hoping this would fix the problem, but the behaviour is exactly the same - no sound, playing time <= 1 sec.
The volume is not muted
I installed the W32 codecs
I installed all the libxine modules I could
I keep getting references to libxine-extracodecs and that it comes from multiverse, but cannot find it.
Multiverse is enabled in my repositories and I did a 'sudo apt-get update', adept also cannot find it....
my repository is za.archive.ubuntu.com. I am convinced libxine-extracodecs is not in there.
Any ideas where I can find it? Another country's repositories?
Any help / ideas / pointers would be appreciated.
