alright guys got it fixed by setting everyting to ALSA-- thanks. VLC still had no sound until i removed the following option "use the s/pdif audio output when available" then it worked...uses stereo now. but i would still like to know which software to use to copy my dvds. i thought i could use K3B but it doesn't have an option to copy dvds. i used dd to make an image and then burn it with k3b but the playback on that copy was horrible, so i need another option. <div><div> </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div style="direction: ltr;"><div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> k. > > > On Thu, 4 May 2006 21:11:26 -0400 > > "kareem shabazz" <<a href="mailto:kareem.shabazz@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">kareem.shabazz@gmail.com </a>> wrote: > > > > > On 5/4/06, John L Fjellstad < <a href="mailto:john-ubuntu@fjellstad.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">john-ubuntu@fjellstad.org</a>> wrote: > > > > > > > > "kareem shabazz" < <a href="mailto:kareem.shabazz@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">kareem.shabazz@gmail.com </a>> writes: > > > > > > > > > can anyone help me figure this out. the only application i can get > > > > > sound out of is XMMS. nothing else plays sound: vlc, xine, mplayer, > > > > > rhythmbox(sound-juicer). i can play dvds but with no sound. i use to > > > > > get sound until i configured xmms to be the default cd player under > > > > > 'removeable drives and media' (xmms -p /media/ cdrom). any > > > > > suggestions? > > > > > > > > > > also, under ' sound' i get no sound from anything i test. > > > > > > > > What does xmms use as its output?
