No Sound

[Jaseman]

How do I switch to analog sound on this version?

The Games and Other Menu has gone, and many of the packages no longer work.

[Jaseman]

It appears that sound is there, but LXMusic is ruined. It crashes and cant add mp3s to the playlist. OMXPlayer will play mp3 however.

If you run python-games you will find a little menu to switch the sound. It appears this switch only works for some applications and, as far as I can tell, not omxplayer which needs a command option.

sudo apt-get install libaudio-wma-perl will add WMA file support for OMXPlayer - Thank goodness! Now all we need is a video player for .mpg files.

Now it isn't playing them again!!!! GRRRR!

[Jaseman]

gxine will play them but its a struggle.

I found that a package called avifile-player was excellent for wma, wmv and mov files. But I can't install that on the new image.

Sound seems to work for me. I installed espeak, then in a terminal typed:-
espeak "Hello master"

[Jaseman]

I REALLY need that avifile-player app or an alternative way to play WMA/WMV files. If anyone finds a fix for that, please let me know.

Yes i get the same thing on ' LXMusic' it load the mp3 and then they just vanish. also i cannot get the cat to meoa in Scratch which is very Disappointing ;(

[popcornmix]

sudo apt-get install xmms2-plugin-all

and then see if LXMusic works?
