Audio problem

[RuleMaker]

Yes, that should be it, so, testing makes a sound?

i istalled the Esd but in sound i haven't the ESD Option..

[Ciwan21]

no man, when i hit test it no sound whatsoever. I turned on youtube no sound, skype no sound. Still no sound. You seee i have win vista its working no problem. and i have virtualbox in vista and in there i have debian sound no problem its just ubuntu no sound and i cant understand why.....

What's the output of:
fuser /dev/snd

[Ciwan21]

you mean put this "fuser /dev/snd" in terminal? if so, i put it in. I got nothing, i mean it just repeat my computer user name.

Strange...
Give this a try:

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-esd

And try to test playing a sound file from terminal with esd:

esdplay somefile.mp3

just replace somefile.mp3 with your audio file and tell us the output.
