Just Well Mixed
Description
As mentioned earlier, I’ve been working out the kinks in the KDE version of Ubuntu Linux (“Kubuntu”) on my home
. One thing that I couldn’t figure out was why none of the multimedia apps bundled with Kubuntu (Kaffeine, AmaroK, etc.) could play back music — but when I downloaded non-standard apps like VLC, they played music just fine.
I finally found the answer this evening. Apparently there’s a known issue with Kubuntu where an important codec package does not get installed, which results in the no-sound-with-bundled apps problem because all the bundled apps rely on the same library (Xine) for audio processing.
