Debian Wheezy no sound Hi, I've upgraded with dist-upgrade (and some other commands) a while ago, and I basically have a working system with loads of nasty bugs, many of them being related to user credentials (I can do as a root bot not as a normal user). How to Install Firmware in Debian to Enable Wireless, Video, or Sound So you download the latest version of Debian, burn the ISO image, fire up your computer, slide the CD into your drive, and begin the installation process. I'm new to linux (literally the first time i looked at it was yesterday). However i have managed to install vlc and an 'play' and MP3. I can see VLC is playing it but i cannot hear it!! But if I just try to get sound on Despotify, aplayer or mplayer it won't work. When I try aplay I get this error. No sound Rasbian Wheezy.

I installed Debian 7. I wanted a music player, so I tried banshee, xine, amorak, exaile, mp3blaster, totem, lxmusic, xmms2.

After trying all of these, the only that would play any sound was mplayer and various other software based on mplayer, such as gnome-mplayer, gmplayer, etc.

• I installed all necessary dependencies, recommendations, and suggested software listed for the other music players.
• I solved the codec problems for the other software. When played, the timers moved, but there was no sound.

What makes mplayer different from the other players that allows it to play audio?

Probably you did not install corresponding gstream plugins.

Without proper audio/video decoders, it won't play. MPlayer does not rely on this, so it works

There are different ways to play sound in Linux. There are: pulseaudio, alsa, oss, jack. There are also multiple higher level libs like: sdl, openal.

Mplayer can use a lot of this and can select different way to access audio if one way doesn't work. Look into mplayer -ao help. Find out which ao works for you by logs and check by specifying ao explicitly. In case of alsa find correct device. Find out how your not working program plays sounds and find the difference.

In case of alsa pay attention to which device is used to play, try different devices (in mplayer -ao alsa:device=..) - there may be stereo, surround and etc and something may not work.

Also you may use different or wrong audio card (you may have HDMI and integrated for example).

In case of pulseaudio check that you volume level is correct.

Use alsamixer to check volume levels in alsa and f6 to select and check list of your alsa devices.

Use pavucontrol to setup your pulseaudio.

In case if pulseaudio doesn't work you can also remove it =)

I would like to make an alarm system backed by a Ubuntu (no graphical interface) box, which plays various announcement and alarm audio tracks (.mp3 or .wav) via the command line.

For example:

The audio should come from the PC audio jack. I might also wrap it with another socket listener. (e.g. Ruby Sinatra)

Any ideas how I can do this?

mpg123 is a command-line utility which plays mp3 files. You can install it in Ubuntu with:

Gaffpaviumpavium

The play command from the sox package will play any file format supported by sox using the default audio device, e.g

You may need to install extra packages to gain support for all formats, for example on Ubuntu 11.04 the MP3 support is not available until you install libsox-fmt-mp3.

The most standard way to play a WAV file in Linux is using the aplay command, which is part of the ALSA system.

Links: (Wikipedia)(aplay man page)

(Both in Fedora and in Ubuntu/Mint it is part of the alsa-utils package)

This does not require any additional packages to your Linux installation like sox or mplayer or vlc, just the basic ALSA which is a part of any system nowadays.

Install vlc by using:

Debian Wheezy Eol

Make sure that you have all repositories open. Also run the following before you install:

You can download Pinball 1.3.5 directly on Our site. Over 107590 users rating a average 3.7 of 5 about Pinball. Windows 3d pinball download. It was released on. The latest version of Pinball is 1.3.5.

VLC has a command-line operation method invoked by cvlc. The next part would be to write a .sh that will call the command. I am no good at writing bash scripts. The end-result would be something like:

On Ubuntu 16.04, there is no need to install anything. You can play a sound using paplay [audio] with is part of the PulseAudio sound server :

You can simply pipe your sound data to the pc speaker device:

mplayer is another player which can play pretty much any audio/video format from command line. to install it in ubuntu just execute this command:

you can then play the file using this syntax:

good luck!

canberra-gtk-play

For simple bash scripts mplayer is probably a bit too heavy and too verbose in terms of output. A built-in option is canberra-gtk-play which comes preinstalled on ubuntu:

Install Mplayer Linux

Note: it uses the alerts volume, and you must pass --file= in order to play a file from a path.

It can also play a sound by id which represents the file name without extension of media files under /usr/share/sounds (apparently this only works for sounds that are registered as part of a sound theme):

gst-launch-1.0/gst-launch-0.10

Another option is using the gstreamer command line tools which are present on most modern linux boxes:

To suppress all output redirect it to /dev/null:

Install Mplayer Debian Wheezy No Sound Effect

Both gst-launch-1.0 and gst-launch-0.10 might be present on your system.

adding an answer for people that will pass here (question is 2011 old, my now is 2019), because I found another way:

ffmpeg is installed on my ubuntu 19.04

So:
