I've been doing more experiments. I made a brand new user
and logged in as him. He can get sound from mplayer and
youtube, but only when logging into a gnome session.
If I login to a KDE session, I can't get any sound from
anything (perhaps because I simply can't find the volume
control in KDE and everything is muted?)
Since I new user worked, I tried moving my .config
directory in my original user and logging in with a
blank .config, but I still get no sound in mplayer.
It is still totally mysterious.
I don't recall seeing any mention of your system's sound capabilities. In my case
of I have 2 potential sound outputs one is a built-in "Intel Corporation 5
Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio" while the other is "Audio
device: NVIDIA Corporation GK106 HDMI Audio Controller" located on my Graphics
card...which is disconnected.
I use KDE. As such, to ensure I get sound under KDE I would have to bring up
"systemsettings" go to "Multimedia--->Audio and Video Settings and
ensure that "Built-in Audio Analog Stereo" is at the top of the preference list
for the playback. If HDMI is at the top, no sound....of course.
