Re: Fedora Core 3 sound problems.....?

[Peter Lesterhuis]

Hi there, 

 I'm new at this Linux thing and i've just installed Fedora Core 3 on
my desktop, so i hope someone would be kind enough to help me out with
my problems.

After installing Fedora, the first thing i notice is that i can't play
any VCD, DVD or even normal audio CDs; I "tested" my soundcard and it
work find because i can hear the sample sound played in the "Sound
Card Detection" section and i can also hear all the system events
sounds.... so far that is my worries after installing Fedora into my
desktop apart from not being able to access my NTFS partition but that
i can solve..... so pls help me out with my sound ( & video )
problems. thanks


Hi,
I seem to have exactly the same problem. I cann't hear an audio cd and i cann't
play a dvd (movie).

Testing the soundcard (system settings - soundcard detection) shows audio device, model
and module. When i hit
"play test sound" i hear the test sound very well. I changed permissions of
/dev/hdb (my cd-rom drive) to 664, but
this made no difference. I checked the alsamixer for muted switches or low volume levels.
When i try to play a
audio-cd i can read all the tracks, so the cd-player is picking up a signal at least.

I followed the suggestion of a post to change the playmode in xmms from analog to digital,

I hope somebody can give me a clue.

Go into the main menu under sounds and open the volume control 
application.  Make sure things are not checked muted and that sliders 
are not at zero.

Sigh... just replied a couple of days back on this one :
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2005-January/msg07619.html

mebbe this should become a FAQ entry ?

for video -> get xine ( http://xinehq.de ). 

DVD is not working for me .. need the encryption support (check the Xine
FAQs so you know what to get).

I have no problems with DVDs.
loaded xine*, libdvd*, & dvd*  and it just works to play the DVD with
xine.

I do have a problem with playing DVDs in totem. I had that working in
the past but something broke it.

If anybody knows what plugins are needed for totem to play DVDs please
let me know.
