Bug Description

Binary package hint: xine-ui

Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit desktop edition running unity.
When playing back video xine has no sound, but video okay. Also, when using Me-Tv, which seems to uses xine for sound, again video okay but no sound. Alsa volume sees xine as using sound, and volume is adjusted to full, but still no sound.

I had very close situation - upgraded to 11.04 amd64, some pulseaudio and gstreamer Installations ...
And no sound with xine-ui -- but Subtitle Composer worked fine with xine

Found out that xine has some amplifier level (additional to the volume) - this was zero ...
Shift-Ctrl-V inside xine-ui

Maybe its the same ...

Very cool, thanks for the hint. I ran into the same problem, and Shift-Ctrl-V was the solution. Someone had fiddled with xine, probably trying Shift-V and accidentally hitting Ctrl-V, turning the amplification down. Ironically, xine also remembers these settings across restarts...
