cant get sound out of gstreamer apps

Hey Gang,

well I ran through the alsa wiki pages, the pulseaduio wiki pages and sound works great for everything.

except for gstreamer. I'm running the gnome desktop enviorment, and everything that uses gstreamer doesnt get any sound output at all.

Now I've gone and installed the gstreamer plugins, they're all in. youtube and other flash player sounds work, VLC player works, games work, everything except gstreamer.

Any ideas?

If you have gnome-media installed , just run gstreamer-properties and you will have the options to change input/output modules .

I've done this, I even hit the test and I can hear the high-pitched beep without a problem. Yet no applications that use gstreamer willl output any sound.

It's not that I'm missing codecs, because simply put other media players that do not use gstreamer can play the media properly and I can hear it.

gstreamer doesn't use any of the codecs that other applications do. You have to install more than just gstreamer to get things to work. Check out pacman -Ss gstreamer for all of the goodies if you haven't yet.

I've already installed the gstreamer-plugins group which I figured would have done the job as it seems to do it for most others. But I'm still not hearing a single thing from gstreamer apps :s.

Alright out of a bit of frustration I decided to completely remove pulseaudio. Once I did that every sound in the system including gstreamer is working flawlessly. Right now i'm not missing pulseaudio so intill I do I won't bother with it.

Re: cant get sound out of gstreamer apps

Just to comment, in community there's a package gstreamer0.10-pulse which is needed if you want to use gstreamer with pulse. It is not a member of gstreamer0.10-plugins, so it would not have been installed as part of that group. Installing that package would most likely solve everything.

Re: cant get sound out of gstreamer apps

I had that installed when I was running through the pulse audio config on the wiki. I have no idea where I went wrong :S. Perhaps at a future date I'll find the need for it, but so far I've got multiple sounds coming from alsa alone, and I'm quite happy with it.
