no sound on RealPlayer10GOLD (debian sarge)
I have problems with my sound..
When I start a .ram it counts seconds in RealPlayer as is should, but I cannot get any sound out of my speakers... My systems sound and XMMS and Xine works fine with sound, but Realplayer is "mute" Nothing happens when I adjust Kmix soundlevel, same soundlevel is used, even if I click mute too.. this is fuckin strange.. What can I do.. Plz help |
realplayer only supports OSS sound modules
see that u have that siupport and that it is free when u play real player |
So
how do I fix it then ?? Do I have to buy a new sound-device ?? (IF yes, I'll get Audigy2 ) plz help.. A cannot use Kmix either.. even if I click mute on it, it still plays music with xmms and xine.. but realplayer is still mute.. |
i recompiled my kernel and build the OSS modules into that kernel and now real player works fine for me
regards |
Install the alsa-oss package. I think that's what it's called but it might be a bit different. Then invoke realplayer with:
Code:
aoss realplay Code:
export AUDIO=/dev/dsp0 |
does not work.. it says
debian:/home/terfy# aoss realplay Warning: LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib/libaoss.so" Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified ** ERROR **: Unable to open display aborting... /usr/bin/realplay: line 75: 4165 Aborted $REALPLAYBIN "$@" how can I fix this ?? |
Well don't try to start realplayer when you're root. So logout of root in the terminal and then do it as normal user.

doesn't help much..
it opens the realplayer without the error, but its still mute.. the Warning: LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib/libaoss.so" are there still.. |
Did you try the line with export as well. The idea is oss is supposed to use the /dev/dsp0 while alsa just uses /dev/dsp. Though depending on your configuration it could be a different device too.
The LD_PRELOAD line is ok. That's what it's supposed to do. |

about the Xserver thin you are talking about
that is there with the login managers but once u have logged in a GUI then u should not have any problem with starting any GUI application regards |
I did try with export too..
still mute.. AND as always I can't even change sound level in xine and xmms.. I can mute them when turning the sound bar all down in them, but only one level is coming out as low as well as high placement of the bar.. AND the kmix doesnt work at all.. not even the "mute" in it.. realplayer is still mute.. damn fuckin sound system.. |
ok try this
get the real media plugins which is a part of the plugins pacage frm mplayerhq.hu install those to /usr/lib/win32 and u can play real media files in xine as well regards |
Disable the kde sound server, it doesn't work properly anyway. Never got it to work. Do you have a sound card that does hardware mixing? If not, do you use a .asoundrc file to enable software mixing?
Masand on debian you can't start a program from the terminal as root user when you're logged in as normal user. You can do it using xhost but it's not secure and not recommended. Other than that you can run the programs with sudo or gksu but no way you'll be running things via su in a normal user environment by default. |
