Firstly, I want to take a moment to thank both of you people who offered advice for your attempts to help. Embarrassingly, it appears that we were all following the wrong trail in our troubleshooting after all.
Just out of curiosity, I brought up in Audacity the mp3 file from one of the videos and saw that the left channel was blank, while all the music was in the right channel (which I guess could be considered the secondary channel in a stereo track.) Apparently, some sound hardware can't "hear" a file like this. The channel with sound has to be the left channel in a situation of this sort. Investigating further, I determined that it was a hardware issue involving the capture device. The left and right audio from the Wii were connected to an adapter that plugged them into a single input on the capture device. The adapter was this one: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/Scarletdown/Misc-Stuff/Audio-Splitter.jpg Of particular note is the single black band on the tip. I remembered back when I was setting up the headset for my gaming center that a similar single band adapter from line out was only giving mono sound, but a double banded tip would give me stereo. So, hoping that such would be the same for line in, I dug up a suitable 2 banded adapter: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/Scarletdown/Misc-Stuff/Stereo-Input.jpg And lo and behold, it works. The one Deb box that was having problems successfully played a freshly recorded video just fine. Now hopefully, I can manage to edit the other videos I already made so the sound is properly in both channels so I don't have to try to completely redo them. So again, thanks for the help, even though we were all off base on the problem. At least I learned a little more than I knew starting out. And as penance for feeling like I just wasted everyone's time, here is my show stopping number freshly recorded for everyone's amusement (and no, it is not a Rickroll). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGu1VfvrG68 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
