Linux WAV player?

[Pat McCotter]

What is a good Linux WAV player? Or why can't I get Porc411 WAV files to play?

The capability is built in. What exactly are you doing?

I've got that too ever since the last big Ubuntu upgrade. I can fix it with something I found online, but then many other sound player things stop working so I un-fixed it.

Try VLC Player.

Go to Applications > Accessories > Terminal
Type: sudo apt-get update
Type: sudo apt-get install vlc

I open the email in Yahoo mail
Click on the attachment
Click Download The default player is Movie Player
Movie Player opens but does not play the file - even after I click the Play button.

I tried VLC to play the file after I download it.
The file shows as playing but there is no sound.
I even tried another WAV file (other than a Porc411 message) - no joy.

mplayer, which you no doubt have installed already, works for WAVs. I have:—

    audio/* ; mplayer -really-quiet %s

in my /etc/mailcap file, and haven't run into a single sound file for which this failed, yet.

I use Totem.

It requires gstreamer-plugins-good thought it might be prudent to run "sudo apt-get install gstreamer-plugins-*" for maximum multimedia ability.

OK. I re-enabled my ATI Accelerated Graphics driver (nothing to do with sound, right?) and my sound now works.

Thanks for the help, guys.
