[SOLVED] No audio in Mate desktop

[evaldas]

I installed Mageia 5 with Mate desktop on my laptop and find no sound if I try to watch Youtube. Maybe someone could help me?

Please, some more information.

Do you have sound in general under MATE?
For the youtube issue, what browser do you use, and do you watch that as a flash video or using HTML5?
And please show the output of

Code: Select all

ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep pulse
rpm -qa | grep -iE "flash|mate-settings-daemon|mate-media|task-codec"
urpmq --list-media active --list-url

Also, do you have mate-settings-daemon-pulse or mate-settings-daemon-gstreamer and mate-media-pulse or mate-media-gstreamer installed which should one of them is installed by task-mate-minimal?

Then check if you have task-codec-audio package is installed (if sound is working on system but not on videos, sound files etc. which may indicates a codec problem)

FWIW, I've updated the rpm -qa command as that is easier to run then to manually check for some individual packages
