When I first installed 10.3 on my notebook, thunderbird sound worked just fine. Now, I notice it doesn't work any more. My notebook still has sound as I can play all dvd, mpg, wav etc etc just not in thunderbird - i tested the wav file and it play fine in other programs just not in tbird. Has anyone else encountered this? Also, can anyone tell me how does thunderbird play sound - does it call an external pgm and if so where? Thanks for any insights.

Thunderbird (and also Firefox) is playing WAV files through libesd (esound). I don't know much about esd though and would have expected that "esdplay" could simulate that behaviour but it doesn't. My TB is able to play a WAV while "esdplay" simply seems to do nothing :-(

Hi Wolfgang, Yeah - I tried to use esdplay and it will not play my wav files - it simply does nothing - however if I use "play" the wav file plays fine so I know the wav files are good. In the end, I removed thunderbird and then used yast to install the 64-bit version ( I have an AMD64x2) and now it all seems to work fine. I think what happened was that tbird upgraded itself and installed the 32bit version. Seems that after the yast re-install it all seems to be good now. Again, thanks for your help. Rgds.
