No sound in KDE except in System Settings test

Post by bleakcabal »

Hi, I used to hear sound in KDE but not anymore.

If I go in the System Settings, MultiMedia menu and I "Test" my audio output device, I'm hearing sound loud and clear. In VLC media player, games and FireFox (youtube videos) I can't hear anything...

For Mp3s, they play with amarok, but not VLC and MPlayer.

I opened KMixer and I don't see anything muted...

Anyone know what I can do to fix this?

I fixed my problem but adding my user to the audio group.

I did :
id bleakcabal
This showed me what goups I belonged to. Audio, wasn't one of them.

I then did
su
To log in as root.
Then I used the usermod command to add bleakcabal to the audio group.
usermod -G -a audio bleakcabal
