mplayerplug-in - no sound

slackbat · 12-31-2006, 02:01 PM

Hi all,

Basically, there is no sound with the mplayerplug-in, when playing the trailers on apple.com/trailers. The trailers play fine.

Also mplayer itself when playing a mp3 file from the command line has sound, and audacious has sound. It's just the plugin that has no sound. I am using alsa.

I've searched these forums and googled but still no answer.

Does anyone have an idea?

What does your ~/.mplayer/mplayerplug-in.conf look like?

You can configure different sound systems there with:

ao=alsa

etc

There is a system wide mplayerplug-in.conf in /etc. Here it is.

I have tried having one in the /home/.mplayer directory. Makes no difference though.

cheers

I now know the problem is with the native gentoo mplayer package, as I unmerged this and downloaded and installed the source package. Now sound works.
