Bug Description

Binary package hint: mplayer

I use kubuntu 8.10 beta when I open a media file from dolphin it plays no sound. But if I open the file from terminal using mplayer filename it works perfect. If i give gmplayer it gives no sound with the error I mentioned.
I use mplayer MPlayer 1.0rc2-4.3.2
