hi there i have some files in .mkv and format and would like to to view them
using vlc...the problem is that there is only the sound in the
background...by that i mean that i can only hear for example the music that
plays in the background and not the people talking in the movie...subtitles
and video are all displayed correctly...i just cannot hear the people
talking...when i watch the files in kaffeine and kmplayer i have no problem
at all...what might be the problem with vlc?? thanks in advance...

My inclination is that it is a vlc specific bug....check this page to see if
you have it compiled with the use flag listed there:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-gentoo.html

If you have it compiled with all of those use flags, then I'd email vlc at
video-lan.org: http://www.videolan.org/support/lists.html

well i don't have the latest version of vlc compiled as suggested from the
link you gave me so i will add vlc in portage.keywords for now and then
compile the latest unstable version of it...hope that should solve my
problems...i will post back for results...thanks...

You compiled with the following USE variables "by adding the line

media-video/vlc dvd ffmpeg mpeg mad
wxwindows aac dts a52 ogg flac theora oggvorbis matroska freetype
bidi xv svga gnutls stream vlm httpd cdda vcd cdio live

to the file *"/etc/portage/package.use"*. This will give you a fully
functioning VLC. Be very careful if you decide to disable some of these USE
flags. You can loose more functionality than you might expect."
Right?

If yes, then I'm out of ideas except to contact vlc devs.
