    I did this chown thingy to ensure the user is owner of the home/user directory. I did it before without (VLC) issues

    I started pavucontrol normally ... same issue.


    hmmm

    Re: No Sound VLC!?!

    I may be wrong - don't use kubuntu - but I thought that pulseaudio wasn't used by default in kubuntu 10.04 - the question before was if you are using pulseadudio 'overall' - ie. is it installed?

    (if you run vlc from terminal with -vv or -vvv you should get more konsole output

    vlc -vv /path/to/audiofilename

    Re: No Sound VLC!?!

    thx I installed what you said, but to no avail.


    1) No sound in gstream properties, I got these error messages though:
    Code:
    gstreamer-properties

    gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'esdmon'
    gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'pulsesrc'
    2) Still no sound in VLC, when running VLC in Terminal I received these messages:

    It seems that KDE programs (which do give sound) such a Dragon player and Amarok are blocking non KDE programs. Also Guayadeque Music Player gives no sound. ...Very strange....

    off topic, it looks great this Guayadeque Music Player ;-D

    Angry Re: No Sound VLC!?!

    **Bump***

    Can please anyone help me, I have only Amarok and Dragon as media players. VLC, XBMC, Guayadeque (even sound in Opera) are not working.

    PS I have removed KDE-desktop and reinstalled it. (And I am also installing Gnome Desktop) Maybe it helps.


    Edit: well it didnt help. So seeking help still

    Re: No Sound VLC!?!

    I recently had a similar problem with sound in VLC on a fresh install of Lucid x64. I have no idea if this will work for you (since I was just trial and erroring it), but it's how I've gotten my sound to work:

    1. I uninstalled the pulse audio VLC plugin
    2. In VLC, go into Tools > Preferences (checked "All" in Show Settings on the bottom left corner of the dialog)
    3. Select (drop down +) Audio > Output Modules and set 'Audio Output Module' to ALSA.
    4. Still within Output Modules (another drop down +), subsection ALSA, I refreshed the device list (had three) and just chose one, played a file chose another, etc. to see which worked. Mine happened to be at hw:0,0.

    Viola- I had sound again.

    Hope this helps ya, I can sure relate to your frustration.
