GStreamer problem

Hi, I am totaly new Linux's user. I couldn't find here nothing what could help or even if I found then I didn't know. Anyway the problem is I instaled alsa and when I type in terminal:

aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav

I can hear the voice that says "Front, center" but after I installed xfce4 and tried to run sound mixer then it shows me  an error that says:
Program GStreamer didn't find any sound devices, Probably there are some missing GStreamer sound system packages or there's a problem with getting access. What should I do?

Re: GStreamer problem

If you can still run

speaker-test

in terminal and hear static output then you just need the gstreamer packages.

Run:

pacman -Ss gstreamer0.10-

Then install gstreamer0.10 and all the other ones that look appropriate for you to have. (installing -ffmpeg, -bad, -good, and -ugly should be more than enough).

Re: GStreamer problem

Thanks, I tried to install them, but when I do speaker-test in terminal I can hear only some noise that are all the time the same, like "shhhhhhhhhhh" -.- but anyway when I typed aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav I can still hear the voice that says "front center"


Now I tried to type in terminal:

[misiek@misiek ~]$ lsmod|grep '^snd'

and that's the result:

snd_emu10k1           131936  0
snd_seq_oss            29696  0
snd_rawmidi            19616  1 snd_emu10k1
snd_ac97_codec         96696  1 snd_emu10k1
snd_seq_midi_event      6004  1 snd_seq_oss
snd_seq                47856  4 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event
snd_seq_device          6016  4 snd_emu10k1,snd_seq_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq
snd_util_mem            3188  1 snd_emu10k1
snd_hwdep               6904  1 snd_emu10k1
snd_pcm_oss            36832  0
snd_mixer_oss          14132  1 snd_pcm_oss
snd_pcm                66936  3 snd_emu10k1,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss
snd_timer              19132  3 snd_emu10k1,snd_seq,snd_pcm
snd                    51108  11 snd_emu10k1,snd_seq_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_ac97_codec,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_hwdep,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer
snd_page_alloc          8124  2 snd_emu10k1,snd_pcm

I guess I found the problem, I'll try to repair it and then I'll tell what's the result of my work tongue



ok I went there http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ALSA#Kernel_drivers and I have a problem on that lvl
[misiek@misiek ~]$ sudo modprobe snd-pmc-oss
FATAL: Module snd_pmc_oss not found.

I don't what to do now...

Re: GStreamer problem

Ok I tried many things I give up, btw now when I write sudo modprobe snd-pmc-oss it goes further.

Re: GStreamer problem

It seems to me like you're going in the wrong direction. Where do you see a problem in your lsmod output? If you can play sounds with aplay, there's nothing wrong with alsa. The problems lie in the libraries on top of alsa, namely gstreamer.

snd-pcm-oss is just for oss emulation. (Assuming your programs support alsa, you shouldn't need it.)

That speaker-test output is fine. The original problem was that xfce's mixer wasn't detecting your card, right? Does it say the same thing now? Do other programs work with sound?

Re: GStreamer problem

Hey, sorry for a little bit late replay, the problem was that before I tried to install adobe flash player by pacman, I did horrible bad mistake and I tried to run install by clicking it two times, so it caused all my problems, now when my friend came to me and deleted all files from this installation and we installed flash with using pacman it started to work good smile thanks for help anyway, and btw what are the magic bites?
