I've been looking into this more, and I don't think it's related to totem. Using any sound player (totem, rhythmbox, even paplay), I can play certain audio files, but not others, and it doesn't seem to be restricted to just certain formats that will play either. The only consistent thing I can notice is that files that play have a sampling rate of 48000 Hz.
Example: /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/bark.ogg (48000 Hz) - plays /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/{drip,glass,sonar}.ogg (44100 Hz) - silence /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*.wav (48000 Hz) - plays /usr/share/sounds/speech-dispatcher/test.wav (16000 Hz) - silence /usr/share/example-content/Ubuntu_Free_Culture_Showcase/InTheCircle.oga (44100 Hz) - silence /usr/share/example-content/Aesop's_Fables,_Volume_1_(Fable_1)_-_The_Fox_and_The_Grapes.spx (??? 16000Hz?) - silence Any ideas? -- Sound not working in all apps on dove https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/528524 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to totem in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
