Kieth Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) In order to get skype working better, I removed pulseaudio. Now skype works better and I can still watch DVDs and listen to music, but I cannot get sound from internet sources, such as a news site. I've tried alsamixer in console and kmix, but no luck. Any idea where I can start finding the problem, and fixing it? Thanks, Kieth I forgot to mention that I use xine for my dvds and music.

AussieJohn Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Hi Keith. Hope you got my other reply to your message OK. I don't have an answer for your internet no-sound problem since I have no problems with sound in anything including the internet although having no pulseaudio. I would think that a sound problem with the internet is more likely a browser problem and maybe a browser app missing from your installed packages. In MCC go through the Audio section of installable packages and install anything that is related to your browser. Also do the same for your browser in Internet in MCC. Cheers. John.

Kieth Posted July 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 I tried 2 other browsers, Chromium and Opera, and still no sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
