WOW - Everything works EXCEPT NO sounds? Help please

Thanks greygooseplz, I think the first two situations don't apply since I've a P4 2.8C , 1 Gig DDR400 ram. How do I make Xine my default player and thanks for the link for Mplayer, I like that player but being a newbie, I would not know how to compile from binary/source, is there an easier way to install the Mplayer?

sorry I havnt replied, havnt been around.

Not sure about the Xine configs, I dont even have it installed but you could try searching google for "xine faq" "xine support", etc.if nothing else just try screwing around with it....Sorry.

Im not positive but I think you could apt-get mplayer.
try apt-get update
then
apt-get install mplayer

I havnt used Knoppix or any debian based distro for over a month so Im not positive on the apt-get command.
Im sure theyd have Mplayer in the database though.


If anything Im bumping this thread to the top and hopefully someone else will give you the correct apt-get commands, etc...

Googled for "apt-get mplayer install" and found this thread over at www.linuxquestions.org
Guy's aswking how to install mplayer on knoppix through apt-get.

Will probably helkp you alot,
