Sound problems on nx9010

[thesender]

Hi All

Ok new here and newish to Linux. I got myself a HP Compaq nx9010 recently it was running XP but for some reason would not see any of my network drives and the fans were running at full speed all the time so i decided to try something different and thats how i ended up here  :)

Anyhow on with my problem (probably trivial to some but a pain to me) I seem to have sound  through VLC if i try  Radio tray or Gnome Mplayer i get nothing in fact Mplayer wont even try and play anything it just stops instantly exaile will play MP3's but not stream from a url, SMplayer just does nothing. Any ideas ??

May be you are missing codecs.

Open Terminal ( Command prompt ) and type this and press enter.

sudo apt-get install libav-tools libavcodec-extra-53 libavdevice-extra-53 libavfilter-extra-2 libavformat-extra-53 libavutil-extra-51 libpostproc-extra-52 libswscale-extra-2 flashplugin-nonfree ttf-mscorefonts-installer icedtea-plugin
