did mplayer software updater; lost all sound exc mediamaster

Did the software updater Fedora update of mplayer- then it just buzzed trying to play NPR streaming sound files and wouldn't close. Did forced shutdown (maybe twice) and now have no sound except from mediamaster: the mplayer on streaming or normal, VLC player (new), Skype is all completely dead sound. The outgoing works on Skype, but can't hear anything. Can download mp3's and play them, but even many videos/films won't play in media master. Mplayer doesn't come up as an option now when you right click a sound/video file.

PLEASE HELP- I'm going to Egypt on Wed for 2 months and will be totally screwed if can't do Skype or listen to news. Have yahoo messeneger, and gyatchi, but neither does calls, to phones or computer, that I can see. Don't want to install another operting system and don't want to restore Linpus- I've customized the hell out of it. Tell me this is something simple.

 

Hi MobileMan,

I can not explain this but I also use Skype etc and just installed VLC today no problems with video or Audio (film or just MP3`s). So goinig to remove mplayer ASAP. maybe run this
Su -
Sudo yum update fedora-release.

Then reboot.
Hope someone with greater knowledge can definitively give you an answer.

 

how do I remove + reload mplayer lost all sound exc mediamas

Will try. how exactly do I remove + reload mplayer

 

Hi,

I am a newbie as well but feel this will remove both media master and mplayer, it was how I did it.

sudo yum remove pdvdlinux mplayer\*
sed /pcmmvp/d -i $HOME/.config/xfce4/desktop/group-app.xml
Also a reboot may be required for the changes to become effective.

Have you fixed your sound issue now?
