Not getting Sound

[karumudi7]

Hi I am not getting sound in APPS like VLC,Skype etc;
But I am getting sound from Kubuntu default Apps Amarok,Dragon player..

Why it is, getting only from Default Apps?

The same MP3 file is played in Amarok and in VLC latest ver 1.0.5, but sound is from Amarok, same with dragon player.

Applications which uses the KDE sound server give you sound where the other ones might be using other sound settings.

Does your computer have a sound chip on the motherboard + installed sound card? If the sound chip is used as default sound you won't hear any sound from the sound card.

sudo apt-get install --reinstall pulseaudio


sudo apt-get install pavucontrol paman

Then Alt-F2 "pavucontrol" and look at the outputs -- look for anything muted. When everything looks right, KMenu > System Settings > Multimedia, and review the sequence of devices. Use the "test" button to check. If the top device does not make a sound when you press "test", try the next device on the list. If a device down the list plays the tune, then move it up to the top of the list.

If you play around with the devices in the "Multimedia" list, and also pavucontrol, you should get all items playing correctly.
