Gnome Player doesn't work on live cd.
I downloaded Trisquel mini Belenos 7.0 LTS (LXDE Desktop, 64bit). I tryed it on a cd, without installing it. I LOVE it, I'm very surprised about how good it is and about the fact that my wifi network worked in a sec. I want to install it but there is a problem:
AUDIO works perfectly (even if i think it is too low compared with windows). It works from Youtube videos in the preinstalled browser but when I try to open an audio file with Gnome Player it doesn't work. It is completely silent. If I try a movie, the video works perfectly but the audio doesn't work.
First I thought it was due to some proprietary shit but I double chacked trying to reproduce an .ogg audio file and it doesn't work.
WHY? Do you think that it will work if I install the OS.
Sorry for my english and for my noobness! :P

Did you try opening any video with VLC? Some videoplayers require the gstreamer plugins for the mp3 to work and it could be that on a live distro those are not there. Anyway, if sound works, it will work once you install the system, so go ahead and install it.
welcome to the community!
Go to gnome-mplayer preferences and choose x11 as video output. At least, this worked for me.

jbar: the OP is talking about the audio output (pulse or alsa) and not he video output. X11 is the video output and the OP has told us that the video works perfectly fine. He has issues with the audio..
"If I try a movie, the video works perfectly but the audio doesn't work."
That's the part I was referring to. You open a video and the sound is ok but a black screen is showed.
Edit: OK, I see my mistake. I understood the other way round :)

Don't worry mate, I'm actually on a good day. On a bad one I am prematurely senile like an old hedgehog, so I get you perfectly.. X_x

I didn't try to open it with VLC because it was not preinstalled and I didn't know if it was possible to install it on the live cd. I'm gonna install the OS on a partition, in January when I will be back home, and than I'm gonna try again with Gnome Player and if it doesn't work I will try VLC too. I will keep you informed. Thanks for your help, all of you :D
