mplayer .avi sound problems
Hey all,
I've recently moved to using Linux (Ubuntu 6.10) and it's great but I've got a problem with mplayer :( When I try to play any .avi file or even some .vob files the video is fine but the sound that comes out is just a bunch of static noise (though if you turn it up and listen hard the proper sound is playing)! Totem player that comes with Ubuntu doesn't have any problems playing the sound but I like mplayer more so it'd be great if someone could help me fix it. I've poked around a bit but can't find what is wrong (I must have done something to it because I remember it playing correctly when I first started using Linux a few weeks ago), I even tried removing and reinstalling it completely (both for source found at sourceforge and from synaptic) and also removing and reinstalling it's codecs. Anyway, I was hoping some smart person on here could help so I saved the output from a few files and here it is. The first is a .avi file where the sound doesn't work, then a .vob file where sound doesn't work and then a .vob file where the sound does work: /****************************************************************/ File 1: avi with not working sound /****************************************************************/ MPlayer 1.0rc1-4.1.2 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+ (Family: 15, Model: 31, Stepping: 0) CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 3DNow 3DNowEx SSE SSE2 Playing Swordfish.avi.

Just a shot in the dark, try using another "ao" device:
Code:
mplayer -ao alsa <filename> |

"mpg123: Can't rewind stream by 128 bits! << plus some weird numbers >>" Any other suggestions? |
I did a google search, and found some people having a similar problem.
I noted one common factor, the guy who posted in the link above is also using gl2 video output. So maybe you can try: Code:
mplayer -ao alsa -vo xv <filename>Code:
mplayer -vo xv <filename> |
mplayer .avi sound problems
gavyn, hi. I saw your message while doing a search to solve a similar problem. It looks like you're using an AMD processor, and so am I. I discovered the hard way that the version of mplayer I have has issues with playing mpeg-based audio streams (mp2/mp3) using the default audio codec, which I believe is mp3lib. If you force it to use ffmpeg, it may solve your problem. I did this by editing my ~/.mplayer/config file and adding the following line:
afm = ffmpeg Please let me know if this helps any and/or if you find a better solution. dan |
Thanks Dan,
You were right and now I can play .avi files! Yay! |
Another solution!
For anyone who is interested I discovered that if I remove the MPlayer version I downloaded from the official MPlayer homepage and instead use the version available through Ubuntu, MPlayer will work fine.
Otherwise Dan's solution does work and if ffmpeg is slow for you try using libmad: mplayer File.avi -afm libmad |
Same problem with Fedora Core 5, but only with avi files with mp3 audio, avi files with AC3 audio working perfectly.
Solved using libmad... |
