I removed the module (alsa-module-1.0.23-2.6.35-686) mplayer -vo none some-sound-file Sound --> Yes
cvlc some-video-file no sound [0xb6f1439c] main audio output error: Potential ALSA version problem [0xb6f1439c] main audio output error: VLC failed to initialize your sound output device (if any). Please update alsa-lib to version 1.0.23-2-g8d80d5f or higher to try to fix this issue. [0xb6f1439c] oss audio output error: cannot open audio device (/dev/dsp) aplay some-wav-file no sound ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1018:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave aplay: main:654: audio open error: No such file or directory When I ran alsamixer, the device in the home screen was my USB camera (it has a microphone). I unplugged the camera, restarted my system and did all of the above test again. This time I had sound for all of them, as well as in X... So: 1- the bug report is invalid: there is no version issue. 2- It is weird though that things work with the 1.0.23 version, maybe because I installed it when the camera was installed, or maybe because it came with fresh configuration files... I'll investigate more. 3- I need to find how to configure alsa so that my sound card is my default device. Any guidance is appreciated.
