Audio players not working except VLC

I'm new to Arch linux and got a problem with sound. I have KDE4 installed and the sound is working well but when I try to play a MP3 on any audio player except VLC it just doesn't play. I've tryed Amarok, JuK, Audacious and XMMS but no sound. I also get an error when I run Amarok or JuK that is saying, "The audio playback device HDA ATI SB (ALC833 Analog) does not work. Falling back to default".
I don't have a clue what is wrong and hope you guys can help me out.
Post if you need some more information.

Look under K Menu -> Computer -> System Settings -> Multimedia. There should be some selections there for audio devices. Find the one that works with the "Test" button, and move it to the top with "Prefer." You may have to do that for every subsection of Audio Output.

MacBook Audio Output Not Working, Except for Garageband?

Good day everyone,
I have a 13-inch MacBook '08, current version 10.6.8 (can't upgrade to OS X Mavericks – hardware is too old), and I've had a serious problem, and I feel that I've tried EVERYTHING to fix it.
My Macbook audio output does not work AT ALL while trying to stream video (i.e. YouTube, Vimeo, etc.) or listen to music. When I play with the audio adjustment buttons, it doesn't even make the "popping" sound. It DOES however have audio output when I open Garageband and play the instruemnts i.e. Grand Piano. It also plays the "start up" sound when I boot my MacBook up. Otherwise, the audio seems to not work at all.
I've played with the "Sound" settings on "System Preferences." I've played with the audio jack (note: there's not red light, so that's not the problem), I've blown into the hole, stuck paper clips in there and fiddled around... nothing. Please help, I'll take any advice!
Thanks in advance.

Well, even though the input jack had no red light, I performed the actions demonstrated on YouTube in the video "How to fix macbook red light head phone jack" and the problem is fixed.

X-Fi Audio - Subwoofer NOT working in Vista 32-bit Ultimate!

<X-Fi Audio - Subwoofer NOT working in Vista 32-bit Ultimate!I I have WIndows Vista 32-bit Ultimate and Sound Blaster X-Fi Audio installed and with the factory drivers (I tried another set earlier and they did not work, so I reinstalled the original drivers which worked, at least partially). Until now I only listened to music using my headphones, but I tried today to plug-in my 5. Genius system (50W RMS) and everything works fine EXCEPT the subwoofer does not produce any sound at all!! The ONLY way to make it work is go to Control Panel -> Sound -> Speakers -> press Configure and then click the Test button in the dialog that appears (or click the subwoofer icon to make it produce a very nice bass sound - which I absolutely love, but it's the only way to make my subwoofer work!!!). Please guys, help me find out what the problem is. All help is much appreciated. Thank you!

Thank you my friend,I have done as you have mentioned (made sure the DLL did not stay there when I rebooted before I installed your version), and now I have the version which you have built. However, I am still unable to hear the subwoofer I am so sad... even my default on-board card supports the 5. just great, and I love the sound of that, but I was hoping for something better from Creative - instead, all I got was a soundcard I can only use with my headphones at the moment because of a faulty driver...
Did you enable Bass Redirection?
Run Console Launcher, click on Speakers and Headphone -> choose 5. Speakers.
Then click on Bass (Bass Management) and enable Bass Redirection.

My audio does not work on my pavilion dv4. i just bought this laptop a few days ago. what's going on

my audio does not work on my pavilion dv4

This worked for me.
Hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dashboard.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Log out/in
If it works, delete the .plist on your desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Macbook pro to HDTV, video is working but audio is not working, how to make audio work as well

Macbook pro to HDTV, video is working but audio is not working, how to make audio work as well

If you use an HDMI cable, the audiostream will be integrated, so there will be sound when using an HDMI cable!
Not necessarily. That only works as stated if you have one of the most recent MBP's that has a built-in HDMI port.
If the MBP only has a Thunderbolt or miniDisplayPort, you need an appropriate adapter cable and even if you use an HDMI adapter or cable to connect to your HDTV there is no guarantee it will carry audio. You have to determine if your specific MBP model supports audio out through its miniDisplayPort or Thunderbolt output, and whether the adapter does likewise.

XPS 8700, audio is not working

Hi,
I got this new desktop last month. From the beginning the audio is not working. When I tried installing the drivers from the dell site, I get this error. My system details are:
XPS 8700 (Mid 2013)
<private data>
When I install this:
Audio_CREATIVE_W7_W8_W81_A00_Setup-241T2_ZPE.exe
I get the error setup is unable to install.
When I install this:
XPS-8700_Audio_Driver_313J8_WN_6.0.1.6909_A01.EXE
I get this error =
Vendor Software Return Code: 3

Please tell me what to do

The audio loaded correctly. Plug speakers or head phones (not wireless head phones) into the rear green audio jack. Then the red arrow should disappear under Sound- Playback Speakers.
The KM632 USB adapter should be unplugged, then plugged back into a USB port on the rear of the XPS 8700.
Do that and see if these change.

System Audio Is Not Working: Error AppleLegacyAudio/AppleTexas2Audio.cpp

Hello,
I noticed last night that my audio has stopped working, both input and output. After checking the system log, this is the message that is repeated numerous times:
*Nov 19 13:04:03 sylvesters-powerbook-g4-17 kernel[0]: ^PSound assertion "0 != err" failed in "AppleLegacyAudio/AppleTexas2Audio/AppleTexas2Audio.cpp" at line 2703 goto Exit
Is the reason the audio is not working simply a matter of a missing file or do I need to completely reinstall the OS? I have a back up that I can quickly copy files from.
Thank you very much.

Hello,
Try deleting this file: com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that .plist file from the Preferences folder to the trash, empty the trash and reboot. See if your audio works as it should. If not... might want to do an Archive and Install:
Reinstalling Mac OS X
Under some circumstances, you may need to reinstall Mac OS X. You can reinstall Mac OS X while keeping your files and user settings intact.
Insert the Mac OS X Install Disc and double-click the Install Mac OS X icon.
Follow the onscreen instructions. In the panel where you select the destination disk, select your current Mac OS X disk (in most cases, it will be the only one available).
Click Options. *If you want to save your existing files, users, and network settings, select "Archive and Install," then select "Preserve Users and Network Settings.*" If you want to erase everything on your computer and reinstall Mac OS X, select "Erase and Install." You can't recover erased data.
Click Continue.
Click Customize to select which parts of Mac OS X you'd like to install, or click Install to perform a basic installation (recommended).
If you purchased a standalone version of Mac OS X, these installation instructions are in a booklet included with Mac OS X.
If you need to reinstall the version of Mac OS X that was on your computer when you purchased it, or if you need to restore all the software on your computer, including Apple, bundled third-party applications, and printer drivers, instructions are in the manual that came with your computer.
For more information, visit the Mac OS X Install and Upgrade Support website at:

I accidentally deleted IDT audio from the contol panel. Because of this, the audio is not working. Therefore, I tried downloading it again but my laptop responded with [error, declined, your computer does not reach the requirement ect]
