I can get avi and wmv format movies to play on vlc but there is no sound. What must I do?

If you run vlc from a terminal, what errors go you get when you try and play avi and wmv movies??? Have you tried them in totem or another video player???

Sorry for taking so long to reply. How do I play a movie with vlc from terminal?

type videolan or vlc in a terminal

Oh! Lol! Blond moment! I thought I need to type something to open the specific file. The output is:

Code:

$ vlc

VLC media player 0.8.2-svn Janus

libhal.c 767 : org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceDoesNotExist raised

"Service "org.freedesktop.Hal" does not exist"

I guess I have to change the audio setting in vlc. But what do I change it to?
