No sound after installing/uninstalling skype v2.1 in Jaunty
Hi,
Miro sound on my Jaunty system stopped working after installing & uninstalling Skype v2.1 (beta).
My system sound works and I have no problems w/ other applications (VLC, etc.)
I've tried the following with no luck:
* Set default system sound device to ALSA (system-> preferences -> sound)
* Tried using both gstreamer & xine in Miro
* Uninstalled and reinstalled Miro (including renaming $HOME/.miro)
* Reinstalled all gstreamer & xine components via Synaptic package manager
* Tried manually specifying different GStreamer audio sinks via commend line (i.e. miro -autoaudiosink, alsasink, gconfaudiosink)
How does Miro interact w/ gstreamer / xine? What would be the best way to determine if the issue is Miro or gstreamer / xine?
Thanks,
J.

Inappropriate?I'm totally puzzled. I don't have any idea why Miro would have problems after you installed and uninstalled skype. The two should be totally unrelated.
Does Totem work? -
Inappropriate?Ah - I think you might be on to something. Totem doesn't seem to produce any sound, either. I played the same video w/ VLC with no problems. Presumably Totem & Miro share the same sound sub-systems?
One thing which I neglected to mention - the beta version of skype works with PulseAudio only. I played around with configuring Pulseaudio and eventually decided it wasn't worth the effort.
I didn't too anything too exotic - mostly just changed sound preference settings and played around with an application called Ear Candy which I've also uninstalled.
Thanks,
J.
I’m hopeful
-
Inappropriate?Totem has both gstreamer and xine backends, too. So if you're seeing the same problem with Totem that you're seeing with Miro, then it's not Miro-specific.
This sounds stupid, but have you tried rebooting your machine? Do you have multiple sound output things (e.g. speakers and headphones and other line-outs)? If you go into Volume Control, are all the playback things at the top and not muted? -
Inappropriate?Yep - rebooted multiple times. Confirmed nothing is muted and volume is up. Only one output device (built-in laptop speaker.)
I’m hopeful
-
Inappropriate?Go into totem-gstreamer and set preferences there and see if you can get that working. Then set Miro to use gstreamer with the gconfaudiosink and it'll pick up the preferences.
If you can't get totem-gstreamer working, then I'd try getting some help with that from the Ubuntu forums or some place like that. -
Inappropriate?I'm still not sure what happened but I did manage to find a solution.
Upgrading ALSA & PulseAudio via the following PPA did the trick:

Both Totem & Miro are working as expected. Thanks for the help!
I’m happy

Inappropriate?Glad to hear it's working again. w00t!
