zombie_geek Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 I'm a newbie, so take it easy on me. :D I'm trying to use MandrakeMove to see if I want to buy Mandrake, but I can't get any sound. Anytime I try to play an mp3, Totem spits out errors. They're different error numbers, too. I also have a live eval of SuSE, and I have no problems with sound there. Does anyone have any idea what I need to do, or what is going wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtweidmann Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 I haven't yet tried out Mandrake Move, but heres some general advice. First I would try playing sound using other apps. So you could try launching Xmms and using that to play mp3s, and also try playing an audio CD. You could also try playing a mp3 from the command line to see if its an app/kde problem: mpg123 /home/martin/some_file.mp3 (if mpg123 comes with MM) If all that doesn't work have a look at what driver/settings are being used in MM and compare them with SuSE. If they are different you could try changing the settings in Mandrake to those of SuSE. If you're still having problems post your system details and the error messages. Good luck :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombie_geek Posted February 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 How do I check my settings? I think I used Kaffine for mp3s in SuSE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombie_geek Posted February 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 I read about the sound being muted from other people's experience, so I checked, and sure enough it was muted. I never realized that the speaker icon was missing. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
