Hello Bud,

Can you kill X and login into the console and try mplayer with the oss and 
alsa audio output device ? That will give a better idea if it has something 
to do with Phonon or something else.

Ritesh

Hi Ritesh,

It does not appear that I have any sound driver running.  At KDE startup and 
whenever I try to run any application that wants sound output -- amarok, 
dragonplayer, etc -- I get a popup notification from phonon:

The audo playback device HDA NVidia (ALC662 rev1 Analog) does not work.

I'm not 100% certain, but I believe I had sound after I first installed 4.4.1.  
At that time I think all the packages were rc1.  A few days later I did an 
aptitude update/upgrade and it pulled in a few packages that were rc2 and 
above.  I THINK that's when I lost audio.  I'm sorry that I do not know for 
sure.  I didn't think a lot about it until it stopped working.  KDE has served 
me so well for so long that I've gotten a little bit complacent.

FWIW, here is the output of mplayer -ao pulse and oss.  The errors seem to be 
very similar.

Hello Bud,

You might want to try these.

* If you running pulse, can you confirm if it is running. Check for its PID. 
If yes, try running, like mplayer with -ao pulse and see if it works.
* Does amarok/dragonplayer open for you ? If you have a phonon problem, 
applications depending on it will not open.
* Does a direct mplayer -ao alsa work ?

Ritesh
