What exactly where the problems with Amarok? I'm running 1.4.2 without any issues.
I hate to semi hijack but I wrote a guide for installing alsa unstable drivers to enable support for the X-fi under 9.04, so far after a few months not had any issues.
Here is a hasty copy and...
Thank you both for helping me sort this out.
And thanks for the advice.
My mistake.
However I downgraded the one I installed in the screen shot from 2.7 to 2.6.1-3.1 and low and behold sound works again.
Could you explain to me how I would go about selecting a...
I removed all faad packages, which also removed some gstreamer ones, then chose libfaad0 in synaptic, here is my output, the version I chose is in the screenshot attached.

Files work fine in Mplayer, VLC crashes upon startup with the files that Totem can't play.
Moovida media center also fails to play the files and requests an Mpeg audio codec.
Output of the first command:
<(o_O)> ldd /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstfaad.so
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb7f37000)
libfaad.so.0 => not found

I tried to play an m4a file in Totem, it produces the same problem, so tried through Firefox using the gstreamer plugins and it gave the identical error. My Video card is Nvidia and I'm running the...
Here is a screenshot of the Gstreamer plugins, ffmpeg, faad, and faac packages installed and the error from Totem as text.

faad is already on my system, this is really starting to puzzle me.
I already had that package, so I reinstalled it and still nothing, thanks for trying though. :)
Whilst trying to play certain video files on ubuntu 9.04 I can't get sound, the message I get from movie player is that "Mpeg4 AAC decoder" can't be found (whilst searching for the right codec).

Nobody ever wants to hear this, but try a fresh install of Ubuntu with the drivers? On a different partition to test?
There is a app called "Multimedia System Selector", you have to enable it to appear on the main menu (right click, edit Menus), its under the Preferences pane.
Make sure ALSA is selected as...
This is actually my site and guide, I updated it yesterday, try out the alsamixer section I added.
I just downloaded and tested the file, un-tars fine here using the Ubuntu extraction program on the right click menu.
Also un-tars fine from the tar command: tar -xvf sync...
Try downloading it...
In response to myself and for anyone who wants FF to save their preferences instantly upon exit I created a Firefox add-on that runs the script upon window close.
Extract the Tar file, then right...
I noticed my mistakes as well! :( I couldn't see a fix for the cd, except to add it to the other fork of the code (I'm pretty new to bash).
However here is what I've thrown together for my whole...
Works on Jaunty 9.04, used the Hardy script.
Thanks :)
This worked for me a while back, I increased the time from 10-15 to 30 seconds, solved everything.
And my conky setup file:
# Use Xft?
use_xft yes

xftalpha 0.8...
Lovely guide worked first time :)
One niggle, is there anyway to make the script run upon firefox closing?
The script only updates every few minutes, obviously to reduce hard disk use and hence...
Thank you for the very nice guide, I've thrown the following together in my .bash_aliases file, the idea being it will run one of any of the cow files at random with the fortune command as input, if...
Thanks for the advice but I haven't found Alsa drivers that support the X-fi yet, if anyone knows of any a link would be nice. :)
I use a Creative X-fi and we all know how much fun they are... I have sound using the OSS drivers, but only one application at a time, I can't have music and a game running and Steam doesn't output...
