I have installed ubuntu 14.04 LTS WITHOUT internet connection, then I connected to the net and installed miro and I did reproduce this problem: the video started to play OK but there was no sound. (Other players played the same video OK, with sound.)
Previously I installed the very same distribution on the very same laptop while I was online and I did NOT have this problem. Same video played OK, with the sound. To me this did NOT help: miro set gstreamer-audiosink alsasink What I did was: sudo apt-get purge miro miro-data sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get install miro frei0r-plugins libfftw3-bin libfftw3-dev libroar-compat2 slv2-jack libtorrent-rasterbar-dbg ttf-dejavu gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly libavahi-compat-libdnssd1 libav-tools ffmpeg2theora python-gst0.10-dev python-gst0.10-dbg python-mutagen-doc python-pysqlite2-doc python-pysqlite2-dbg (This was the list of "recommended packages" when I reinstalled miro.) now the sound is OK. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/601429 Title: no sound from miro on some files, no playback on others To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/miro/+bug/601429/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
