No sound but radio FM works
 
Hi all.. This is very weird for me. I'm trying to play any sound (media player, skype, etc) but I get no sound. But the weirdest thing is that.. I can hear the FM radio applet very well.. I'm desperate, I have been looking in google, IRC, and in forums for a week, but I do not find anything.

Please, if you need more information, let me know

No more information needed. You just disconnected the earphones while the FM radio was in "loudspeaker" mode.
Just connect the earphones, start the main program (not the desktop applet), change the mode to earphones. Disconnect the earphones.

I did exactly what you said:
* plug the earphones
* start the main program (by clicking the configure button)
* click on a radio station to hear it (I do hear it on my earphones)
* click on the radio image that is in the left bottom corner to check if I can hear the music in the speaker (and I do)
* click again in the earphones image to hear it in my earphones (and it works)
* close the main fm radio window
* press stop in the applet window
* open the media player
* click on any song.... but I do not hear anything :(

did I miss something

AFAIR you should disconnect the earphones now, instead of...

What about rebooting? If problem is the same as mine, rebooting would fix. Just to be sure where the problem is, then we will look at the procedure correctness..

I have reboot it many times without success. What I get is the same, no sound, only the fm-radio :(

I could be wrong, but I think the fm radio is hardwired to the speakers, ie. it doesn't route through the audioprocessor and thus can be heard, and not anything else. Which, unfortunately, could indicate some hardware failure.

Gilbert, I'm starting to think so... I think I will need to send it to warranty

If you can't hear the media player through either the speakers or the earbuds, with volume turned up (two volues: The master volume in the status applet, and the media player volume), then indeed it sounds like a hardware problem.

someone told me that he thinks the driver is the problem, so here I post the lsmod

Does dmesg show any errors reported by omapdsp?

Si
