No sound on Real Player 11

[felixN]

Hey guys, i'm new to ubuntu. I expected snags along the way. But i really enjoy the experience. Well i've got Real Player 11 installed on ubuntu 8.04, and plays just fine but one thing, no sound. Hope someone could shed some light. All help are appreciated. Please and thank you!

This may not work as expected but worth a try. I saw this solution from fwelland on the Fedora forums.



I fix/hacked this by changing the line in the realplay script

sudo gedit /opt/real/RealPlayer/realplay

then on line 52 change

$HELIX_LIBS/realplay.bin "$@"

TO

padsp -n RealPlayer -m RealPlayerStream $HELIX_LIBS/realplay.bin "$@"

Wow cool. I searched for ages for this problem... now I also fixed it. ^_^

This solution does not work for me. I do change the player into OSS mode and try with both the following lines

padsp -n RealPlayer -m RealPlayerStream $HELIX_LIBS/realplay.bin "$@"

or

aoss -n RealPlayer -m RealPlayerStream $HELIX_LIBS/realplay.bin "$@"

buth still no success with both. Can someone give me a hint what I may have missed or maybe an alternative solution. (I do have both padsp and aoss on the path).
The player starts normally, and I do not get any error messages in console when opening the BBC .ram file.

Great solution! Thanks a lot.

This worked on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Thanks.

This did not work for me. I'm running RealPlayer11 on Ubuntu 10.04.

I took another step, which made the sound work (and also fixed some kind of playback screen lagging problem). I simply opened RealPlayer, went into Tools -> Preferences -> Hardware, and under Audio Driver, I selected OSS instead of ALSA. I'm not sure whether the previously posted solution made a difference to this.

This worked for me, using Ubuntu 10.10 and RealPlayer 11.
Thanks
