    Can't play mp3 even with the plugins

    Hi,

    I'm running ubuntu 10.04 as a guest on winxp.

    I'm having trouble playing mp3 and video files on ubuntu, despite the fact I have downladed packages that include gstreamer ffmpeg video plugin,gstreamer extra plugins, and ubuntu restricted extras(plus some additional gstreamers).

    The problem occurs with both mp3 and video files.Mp3 files are played only by my VLC player, but with a terrible stutter.The other players give visual indication that they are playing the file, but no music is heard.When I play video files, the picture is displayed, but also stutters at all players and no sound is heard.

    Thanks for your help.
