[SOLVED]Ogg files doesn't play after upgrade.

Hi every one. After the last upgrade the .ogg files like system sounds in KDE doesn't play. So when i start a KDE session the login sound doesn't play.
Thanks in advance.
I hope you have happy holydays.

PD: sorry if you notice my poor english.

Downgrading qt and kdelibs solved the problem.
I don't know if the downgrading is a "solved" problem.

Can you get oggs to play with other programs, eg ogg123, mplayer, vlc, ffplay? Can you get KDE to play other types of files, eg flacs, wavs, mp3s?

Your English is fine.

Re: [SOLVED]Ogg files doesn't play after upgrade.

the solution is to set the full path of the ogg file in "system setting/notifications KDE sound" window :

I had the same problem. I went into system settings/notifications and had to reset the sounds. They were listed properly but no directory was indicated. Drove me nuts for a while...

Manually changing directory for every sound did a trick. Now all sounds working well. Thank you.

Okay. What was the cause and how did you fix it? It's a bit ingenuous to mark a thread as "Solved" when the thread does not contain a solution ...
