No Audio when trying new Mplayer
Hi... I have been able to use Mplayer 1.0 pre3 just fine but recently I wanted to upgrade to pre5. I download and compile it and bam - it won't play audio with a video clip. I'm given the error message "Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound".
This is pretty frustrating. I ran >mplayer -ao help and ALSA is listed there. I ran mplayer as root and audio worked, but I'm not sure what's causing the problem at all. A small while ago, I made the switch from devfs to udev - could that be an issue? If so, how do I fix it? Thanks. :) |
I think its aRts problem
I really dont think that its aRts problem:D but I have found a way to solve that problem
In your console you have to kill your aRtsd process. To view your processes just type Code:
ps x Code:
1543? xxxx /opt/kde3/artsd ... Code:
kill 1543 The bad side of doing this is that you only can play one thing at a time, xmms or mplayer or the sounds from KDE or ... But for immediate results work fine...:D sorry about my spelling i'm guatemalan |
Thanks for the reply, but I don't use a sound server like arts or esd... I have hardware mixing and only use ALSA. :)
Besides, this is only a problem when compiling and running the new version of Mplayer. The older version still works fine. I have to run the new version as SU to hear audio. :( |
