No sound with Lastfm-player [Solved, kind of...]

[cymbaloum]

Hello,

 

I'm using a Mdv 2006 and I donwloaded the Lastfm-player (Mdv rpm). It seems to work ok, and download files from the internet (I see the titles of songs and progressing bars), but there is absolutely no sound ?!

 

I might as well note that amarok, mplayer, kaffeine, helixplayer, etc play fine. This is the first sound application that I install in Mdv 2006 which is sound impaired!

 

Does anybody have an idea if lastfm-player needs a specific sound engine, or something to that effect? the interface is very barebones and I have no clue how to proceed...

Click on the options button (wrench icon, bottom right corner), choose "Settings". There is a "Sound" section. Make sure Soundcarc (they seem to have spelled it wrong!) is set to the right card, and also try different options for "System" - this could be ALSA, OSS, or (especially in KDE) aRTs.

Strange, my "Settings" section only has "Last.fm Account", "Proxy Settings", "Browser", "Sign up + OK + Cancel" boxes. There is no "sound" section... I suppose a newer version of lastfm-player has more options.

 

Strangely, since yesterday I rebooted the computer, and now lastfm-player is outputing sound! Sometimes I wished computers were a bit more predictable... Just hope it stays this way.

 

Thanks for the help!
