Mplayer keeps resetting volume to max
Hello all,
I recently upgraded to Fedora 12 (x86_64), using the KDE desktop, and mplayer installed from the repos provided by rpmfusion.org. I've found that every time I start playing a video file in mplayer, no matter what I have the volume set at for the desktop (in KMix), mplayer resets it to maximum...blasting my ears each time. If I turn down the volume in mplayer, it goes back to max the next time anyway. I checked the config in /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf, and there doesn't seem to be any setting in there that would set a default volume level. I've also cleared the .mplayer folder in my home directory and that also has no effect. It would be ideal if it just started with whatever volume I already had set for the master volume in KMix (as was the behaviour I've expected from other configurations I've used). Does anyone have any suggestions? |
If your problem is mplayer, not Kmplayer check out whether your
$HOME/.mplayer/config Code:
ao=alsa If that doesn't work for you, try: Code:
ao=alsa:device=plug=pcm Code:
ao=alsa:device=plug=default Code:
ao=alsa:device=pcm=default |
Thanks - ao=alsa was sufficient for mplayer.
In the config for gmplayer (~/.mplayer/gui.conf), I had to set the following as well: ao_driver = "alsa:device=default" ao_alsa_mixer = "default" ao_alsa_mixer_channel = "Master" ao_alsa_device = "default" |
I am glad to hear that. Please mark this post SOLVED/CLOSED then.
Cheers. |
