I tried to play my music and suddenly sound went off. And then I tried every sort of my hardware flaw but I was unsuccessful for that to handle. Then I Tried to install the new player “VLC” but I was unsuccessful to play with it. Then I opened the Synaptic Manager and updated the list from that and then I tried to upgrade the list and pressed Apply and waited for the the update. I opened terminal and typed:
mplayer *.mp3
In the directory where my music files were situated. Then I tried to open the player but again the same problem arose. So I removed my player “Completely” not just “Remove” and then again “Install” the same package. And that seemed to work on me.
UPDATE: If you have the problem since the fresh installation, then just play a file and then it asks for “Search For Plugin”, and then just click the button and then you will get the list and then install the plugin. Make sure that you have an internet connection and the plugin by tis process must be installed one by one. If you want most of the plugins then you can reload the “Synaptic package manager”(Press Alt+F2 and then type “synaptic”) and then find for “ffmpeg” and get the necessary downloads.
If the above problem didn’t helped you try downgrading your kernel version. That’s an easy and fast solution for ubuntu problems.
Thanks dude
take a look at this for solving sound system problem in ubuntu 10.04 here

May this solution helps other people. Thanks Siddiq
Having 10.04, for the last 1.5 weeks daily I tried to solve this. “The Buffalo” PCLinuxOS 2010) works out of the box with this machine in a brilliant way. This is not a Dell or other machine but was built for a sys developer. That’s why the sound doesn’t work and the ATI card was sent to legacy and Ubuntu can’t get their hands on since ATI refused to open the card for Linux. 10.10 is hopeless. The live cd only provides regular flickering. It’s not Linux fault (here Ubuntu). It’s the hardware manufacturer. The entire OS of 10.04 is open source. Not one propretiary driver on board.
We gonna try this suggestion here from the board.
We wrote down all sound and graphics modules activated in the buffalo. When it doesn’t work in Ubuntu now I myself will install the Buffalo from TX.
We love the sentence ” works out of the box for most hardware”.
Keep it up in Linux. A round of applause for you. Everybody can.
Much to the panic in Seattle. The fear of cloud computing catapulted the shoe bender in Seattle (Gates)to early retirement. Hah!
