Sound preview in Nautilus not working

Hi,
I'm trying to get the sound preview in Nautilus working.  As far as I can tell from searches I need mpg321, but installing that and setting preview sound files to 'always' in the File Management Preferences doesn't work.  Could it be that a particular channel of my sound device needs to be hiked up?  Messing around with them didn't produce anything.
Mpg321 is working on the command line.
I have got another problem with my sound, which I posted at http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=29728, but I wouldn't think it's related.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks.

Hi, Jovi-
Have you tried with a fresh file?
Create a new file
Change the background color to something bright
Preview in browser
What occurs when you do those three steps?
Thanks,

    I installed windows 7 on my macbook pro. all is working but lan adaptor and sound od laptop is not working. please help me or send the link where i can download the these drivers.I have lost my resource cd .

    If you are running Lion or Mountain Lion, the drivers are downloaded from within Bootcamp Assistant. If you are running Snow Leopard the drivers are on your Snow Leopard install disk.
    Read the Bootcamp Install Guide for your version of OSx. http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/

    I had a repair done on my MacBook Pro and had to have a new hard drive installed. The Apple Auth Repair Shop then updated the OS from 10.6.8 to 10.7.5. Now my iPhoto v 9.2.3 will not open and it sounds like it will not work with this OS. Can you please advise?

    You may need many other updates to retain compatibility with Lion. I suggest you reinstall Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, you will need to erase the drive first. Be sure to backup your data if you haven't done so already.
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
             you will be running a fresh install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process
             by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
             installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • Live Preview Highlight is not working.

    I recently downloaded Edge Code to a new work computer and the Live Preview Highlight is not working.
    I have Edge Code installed on a personal computer, and it works great. The version I am using was downloaded about 6 months ago so I am not sure if they changed something with the most recent version. When I highlight a section within the html i.e. a table or row, it would highlight those same sections in the preview. However, this is not the case on my new computer.
    Anybody know whats up? Is it setting on Chrome that I need to change or is there some update that I am not aware of.

    I guess I assumed that you had Chrome setup to auto-update (like I have it). The only way Live Preview will work in a previous version of Edge Code is with an older version of Chrome.
    But there are other reason why Live Preview may not work in latest version of Edge Code. Take a look at Live Preview section of Troubleshooting Guide.

  • Sound on iPad is not working and I've tried all

    sound on iPad is not working and I've tried all.. Someone HELP me

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

  • My sound on FaceTime is not working after downloading iOS 6 ??

    same issue here... And a restore didn't do any good either.
    Try backing up your information to iTunes, and Restore your devices as new with no content on it what-so-ever. If the issue persists after that, this may be a hardware issue. Check your Mic's for debris, and remove the case you have on the device as well to see if you have the same results. Then contact Apple Support if all else fails.

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Might possible that DCOM permission got changed and to verify that you can check following steps.
    Go to start, then run. Type dcomcnfg and push o.k. Component Services should come up.
    Expand Component Services, click on Computers, then "Right click" on My Computer and go to "properties".
    Click on Default Properties tab, and make sure the following is set:
    Default Authentication Level: Should say Connect, not "None"
    And Default Impersonation Level: SHould say Identify.
    When those are set properly, hit ok and turn on your protected mode back on your Office applications.
    In addition to this, please check whether you find any information from event log for this case. Also try to add Builtin users to grant read, write and execute persmission.
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • Preview hanging/crashing/not working in Lion on new MacBook Air

    I just migrated from my old 2008 MBP to brand new MacBook Air running Lion. Since then, Preview is screwy: will open a few things but then will stop opening anything and is either fully crashed, or will still be able to go to it and look at what is open, but it will not open anything else.
    Also, the plug in for safari doesn't not work well when a pdf opens in a window with mulitple frames (the icons to save or open with preview do not appear). Making me seriously consider changing default pdf reader to acrobat as this is getting really annoying.

    Looks like I found a fix -- see

    Please help. Since I updated my Iphone4 to ISO 6.1.3...The ringer button not working, can't play any music (but ok with the dock), headphone sound is muffled. What can I do? I tried restoring and downgrading but it won't let me.

    Hi there,
    Thanks for reaching out to the community.
    Please help. Since I updated my Iphone4 to ISO 6.1.3...The ringer button not working, can't play any music (but ok with the dock), headphone sound is muffled. What can I do? I tried restoring and downgrading but it won't let me.
    It appears like you may have a hardware issue with your ringer button and internal speaker that came to light after the update. If you have already restored your iPhone back to factory settings using iTunes, you may need to have your phone serviced.
    Some potential good news... Check your headphone jack for lint. There may be enough to cause a muffled connection. You can try to blow it out with compressed air or very carefully pulling out any solid objects that may affect the connection.
    Best of luck!

  • Dreamweaver CC: Preview in Browser Not Working

    I am new to Dreamweaver CC, but I've used other versions of Dreamweaver extensively.
    Since I've installed CC, by Preview in Browser has not worked. When I click it, and choose my browser (this issue occurs with ANY browser I choose), it opens my chosen browser and then tells me the page cannot be found. I know the issue is where DW is pointing my browser. For example, if i'm working in my contact.php file in DW and tell it to preview in broswer, the address that shows up in my search bar is "contact.php/"
    Now obviously, that won't point my browser to any usable address. So how do I fix the issue? I've tried looking through all kinds of settings but have found nothing.
    Someone please help me!

    You realize you must have a local testing server installed and defined in your Site settings in order to preview PHP pages, right?
    Which Local Testing Server are you  using?
    Is it running?
    Do you have it pointing to your localhost?  See screenshots:
    Servers: Basic Tab
    Servers: Advanced tab
