Hello, and welcome!
I don't know anything about gstreamer, but I do see in your error message the sentence, "Some sound system specific GStreamer packages may be missing."
Assuming you are running 5.3-release, the version of xfce4-mixer for that -release has
gstreamer-0.10 as a dependency. Specifically, just these two dependent packages:
gstreamer-0.10.36p5 and
gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.36p5. There are a number of other gstreamer plugin packages, you may require one or more of these:
Code:
gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.23p11
gstreamer-plugins-gl-0.10.2p5
gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.31p6v0
gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.10.19p2
If you're running something other than 5.3-release, package versions may differ.
Some things for you to consider, as well, because you don't mention them. The sound tests are described in the OpenBSD FAQ 13. (
The OpenBSD Project doesn't have a Handbook.)
- Are you getting any sound output when you test cat(1) with /dev/audio?
- Are you getting any sound output when you test aucat(1) with /dev/sound?
- Which soundcard is reported in your dmesg for azalia0? The azalia driver is a generic HD audio driver.
Hint: if you post a complete dmesg here, it will be easier for us to see exactly what version/flavor of the OS is being used, what your architecture is, and what hardware is involved. Your grep showed nine dmesgs in memory, we only need one.
