Hey everyone!

Just today i wanted to show someone a video, so I pulled up KDE desktop, copied over the video clip and low and behold, I got video fine, but got a message on both mplayer and vlc saying 'cannot initialize audio drivers'. Is there something disabled?

I also tried opening an mp3 that I have stored on the pc, and amarok threw me an error too.

Is this a known issue?

wanted to also note that playing my mp3s through LMCE works flawlessy, BTW. standard audio in LMCE (movies, wizard, etc) works fine as well.

become root and start the applications you want from it. sudo su and you have it.

Add your username to the 'audio' group in /etc/group.  Reboot the machine if you have already started KDE.  You should have full audio capabilities now.

There is a command which can do this for you:

Code:
$ sudo usermod -a -G audio user_name

will add 'user_name' to the group 'audio'.  Let us know how it goes.
