I'm trying to set up Kurso de Esperanto on Ubuntu. The only thing thats giving me problems is the sound. I know I have to set it up to play in a media player but I've tried Amarok, Totem, and some others and they always give me similiar problems. It will play the sound, but sometimes not the whole thing, and whenever I go to exit the program it causes everything to freeze sometimes. Whats a good program err, command for sound that doesn't cause a 3rd party program to pop up? (I'm pretty new to linux and ubuntu)

Hi, if it is still not tooooo late, there is, how I solved it (I use Ubuntu 9.10; Kurso 3.0):

MP3 player: mpg321
WAV recorder: aplay
WAV player: arecord --duration=3 --rate=44100
Browser: firefox
e-mail client: thunderbird

-> you install packages "mpg321" and "aplay" was by me a part of alsa ...

Hhm. I just know a german ubuntu wiki regarding this problem. Especially this troubleshooting one.

Following commands should be excecuted each line as a single excecution inside at the command line (bash). The result should be posted at at the bugs.launchpad.net facilities. You will need a free Launchpad account for this.

lsb_release -d
uname -r
cat /proc/asound/cards
aplay -l
aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav
lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 audio
ps -C esd
ps -C arts
ps -C pulseaudio
grep "^audio" /etc/group | grep "$USER" | wc -l
lsmod | grep "snd"
head -n 3 /proc/asound/card0/codec#0
head -n 3 /proc/asound/card0/codec97#0/ac97#0-0
head -n 3 /proc/asound/card0/codec97#0/ac97#0-0+regs
asoundconf list
cat ~/.asoundrc
cat ~/.asoundrc.asoundconf

If it could help to get "Curso de Esperanto" running at Ubuntu Linux then it could be a nice esperanto translation lesson. Hhm.
