Hi, I have just spotted something which shows that the keyboard was a red herring. When the Play / Pause button is pressed the music stops and the player goes to Pause mode. When the button is pressed again, the music may or may not be heard. The key phrase is 'be heard'. If I have just been listening to the audio from a video played in Chromium, the player restarts (I can see the progress indicator increasing), but there is no sound.
It seems to me that Chromium is grabbing the audio channel and not letting it go. I find that a bit confusing because I thought that the linux sound system could play music from multiple sources and certainly if I don't press the Play / Pause button while watching a video, I can hear both audio tracks. Any thoughts on this? BTW. This shows why the fault was such a chameleon; if I hadn't been watching video it worked and if I had it didn't. It's just that I hadn't realised this at the time. -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2022-06-07 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
