I too am having problems with sound files under 13.1 My voip phone system sends me voice mail messages as .wav files. I can't play any of them now I have 13.1 running. VLC says it can't handle some encoding and that there's nothing can be done; xine starts then does nothing - I can't even select the media. It also doens't go away when I click the "x" at the top right of the window!
Amarok plays for a couple of seconds then dies. If I start Amarok manually I get only the script console...
I'm trying others but am at a loss as to why these two stalwarts are problematic.
Let me state this: 1) I use VLC in 13.1 to view Television; 2) I use VLC in 13.1 to listen to music (which is rarely now); and 3) I use VLC in 13.1 to view normal 5 & 9 DVDs. VLC I am using in 13.1 is installed from the packman repo, and *not* directly from VLC. But I do NOT use VLC to view Bd (Blu-ray discs) because the video (and therefore sound) "stutters": 5 seconds ON and 2 seconds OFF. Damn ANNOYING (note, I am using the polite way of expression my displeasure)! So, to view Bd movies I use DVDFab Viewer 2 in Windows 7 - and I don't give a rat's tail about using W7 for this purpose because Linux badly lets me down in this multimedia department. I had success when using openSUSE 12.3 for viewing Bd discs but 13.1 is a totally different story. And I don't have the time to try and work out and report why 13.1 and the VLC for it cannot handle this task. BC -- A civilisation is judged by how it treats the most vulnerable.
