When I play audio files with the default application (totem), nothing can be heard (but the "disco effect" animations are active). Sound is not muted in totem and in fact is pushed up to the fullest. Opening the same sound file in audacity and playing it there works. There doesn't seem to be any place in totem where I could have misconfigured something. What could be wrong?
EDIT: The problem is apparently not related to audio file type. All the following files can be played from within audacity for example and are mute in totem:
$ file test*
test.aac: MPEG ADTS, AAC, v4 LC, 44.1 kHz, stereo
test.mp3: Audio file with ID3 version 2.2.0, contains: MPEG ADTS, layer III, v2, 80 kbps, 24 kHz, Monaural
test.mpg: MPEG sequence, v1, system multiplex
test.wma: Microsoft ASF
totem
open that file with the issue. Then post output if any error.gstreamer1.0-libav
&gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio
are installedpavucontrol
viasudo apt-get install pavucontrol
, start viapavucontrol
, start totem and play a mp3 or something else. Now make a screenshot of the tab "Playback" in pavucontrol and add the screenshot into your question.
