[edubuntu] No sound online and no TV videos

view story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello, I have Ubuntu (Edubuntu 12.04). I have sound from my speakers when on my pc (desktop), but no sound while online. For example, I can watch videos on YouTube, but there is no sound. I cannot see videos (and have no sound) when trying to watch a TV show on it's home site, for example, no video and no sound when trying to watch the show Supernatural on the CW site. Am I missing a certain software or add-on? Also, when trying to download a particular add-on I have not been able to find a program to open it. I am not very savvy with computers. Thank you :) (Hardware)

Help with Sound in Crunchbang 48 weeks 4 days ago

I was watching some MP4 videos, and at some point between two video's, I lost sound. When I started the next video and noticed that I did not have sound for it, I imediately checked my volume and sound settings for the program I was using. I then Checked master volume settings for Ubuntu. So far everything was good. I decided to open the video in VLC, still no sound.

As the Title says, I can hear sound watching TV. Also, I can hear sound when I watch internet videos in MythTV. But if I watch videos in a news feed or in the web browser I get no audio. Also, if I quit mythfrontend and watch a video in the chromium web browser I get no audio. However, if I use VLC player to directly watch my hdhomerun stream I get audio.

I can't ear any sound in 'youtube' when i watch videos is there anyone who can helpme withn this problem i have the adobe flashplayer installed:( and i'm using firefox 3.5.3

Well, I don't know what the problem is.. Sound used to work completely fine (before today, and even this morning) and now when I try to watch Youtube videos/embedded sound, my sound turns into static, and I lose all other sound on my laptop..

Hi there,

I'm running Ubuntu Studio 12.10 Strange things happen: 1. After login, playing mp3 or videos -> sound is ok. 2. Then I start Ardour, work with a project -> sound is ok 3. Then I exit Ardour, playing mp3 or videos -> NO SOUND!!

(4.) Starting Ardour again -> sound still works

This is reproducible with every boot.

Any idea what to do?

I don't get any sound when I play a video DVD with vlc media player.

This is on a FC 17 64 bit machine, Xfce spin.

I have sound when I play Youtube videos in Firefox. I have sound when I play sound files from xmms. (Don't know what Mplayer would do. I find it's interface too mysterious.)

Anyone know what problem would be peculiar to vlc ?

Ubuntu 12.04 promised to add a brand new startup sound : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgAj_gJ-TXA.

But its not there in the final release. There's no sound at all! I now know how to restore the old sounds back thanks to this question : How to add the old startup sound (not login sound)?

But my question is, how to add the new (or any other custom) startup sound to Ubuntu?
