Sentry Crash Report:

Description matthew.j.wakeman 2023-11-15 07:46:46 UTC 
Have just installed Digikam and imported some folders. No video (all mp4) will play with audio at all in DigiKam. If I open them using Haruna player (or Gwenview or PhotoQt) all the videos have audio and perform normally.

Digikam is not showing as a running application in the audio volume applications. I apologise but I am a very new linux user so no idea what additional information you need that I can give you to assist in this. I have looked about on forums and there were some really old bug requests with the same issue but none of them came with a resolution that I could try myself.

Many thanks.
