** Description changed: - Firstly, I'm new to linux -- sorry for any lack of understanding I - demonstrate! Please try to keep it simple. + Updated, and deleted all the unnecessary detail. - So, here's the issue: I can't play MP3s. I can hear other sounds, - tested the sound card in the Hardware testing and hear OK, can hear - sounds in games on Youtube, and even on box.net (playing an online MP3 - in my storage there but through their interface). But when I try to - play an MP3 in a player on my PC, it fails. I've tried the players - Ubuntu came with, plus also VLC, Amarok, Real Player and one or two - others. Each time I installed a new player, I made sure I also - installed the applicable codecs needed. But no luck. Depending on the - player I use, sometimes I get generic error messages, sometimes it looks - like the song is playing, but it lasts a few seconds (not minutes) and I - get only a few non-musical squeeks and pops if anything. + Basically I was accessing the documents in my Windows "My Documents" + folder, forgetting the encryption program that runs in the background + when I'm using Windows. That program decrypts files in My Documents on + the fly, meaning that all I had to do was login to Windows and either + decrypt the folder or move its content to the external HD (and let the + program decrypt the content as it goes). - I recently installed Ubuntu 8.10 on my WD USB External HDD. I installed - it from a USB Pendrive, and ran all the updates available. I'm using a - Thinkpad T43. - - I've checked all the volume levels - both hardware and software. I can - get sounds, just can't play MP3s. - - I've reviewed many, many bugs via google, and haven't found anything - that helped. Please advise. A couple of outputs from the Sound - Troubleshooter - (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting?action=show&redirect=DebuggingSoundProblems#Loading%20a%20working%20sound%20configuration) - are pasted below. That trouble shooter advised posting a new bug if no - joy... - - rich...@rick-laptop:~$ aplay -l - **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** - card 0: ICH6 [Intel ICH6], device 0: Intel ICH [Intel ICH6] - Subdevices: 1/1 - Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 - card 0: ICH6 [Intel ICH6], device 4: Intel ICH - IEC958 [Intel ICH6 - IEC958] - Subdevices: 1/1 - Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 - rich...@rick-laptop:~$ - - - 00:1e.2 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03) - Subsystem: IBM Device 0567 - Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 22 - I/O ports at 1c00 [size=256] - I/O ports at 1880 [size=64] - Memory at b0000800 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512] - Memory at b0000400 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256] - Capabilities: <access denied> - Kernel driver in use: Intel ICH - Kernel modules: snd-intel8x0 - - - So - any ideas? - - Thanks in advance! - - Richard + The program was installed for me by our friendly corporate network + admins - I'd forgotten all about it!
