Hi folks. This one has me stumped. I'm having problems with the sound in .mpg files. I didn't used to have this problem back in my FC2/FC3 days, so I'm not sure exactly when it broke. Now I'm playing with getting my video capture card working, and of course, it has a hardware MPEG encoder on it, so none of the videos it produces have good sound. Or at least, I can't get the sound right. The Problem: Whenever I play *any* .mpg file (with mplayer for now), the sound comes out scratchy and generally unclean. These .mpg files used to play fine when I originally downloaded them. Not the problem: I have no trouble playing .wmv files. The sound is crisp and clean. Timidity/Festival work just fine. My system: ABIT NF7-S2 mother board with onboard nForce AC97 sound chip: > 00:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation MCP2S AC'97 Audio Controller (rev a1) > Subsystem: ABIT Computer Corp. Unknown device 1c09 > Flags: bus master, 66MHz, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 3 > I/O ports at d800 [size=256] > I/O ports at dc00 [size=128] > Memory at ef005000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] > Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2 I'm using the snd_intel8x0 sound driver (and associated modules). I'm currently running the 2.6.16-1.2111_FC5 kernel, but I've tried every FC5 kernel back to FC5 test1, all with the same results, so I am unable to re-prove that it ever worked.... B^) My FC 5 system is up-2-date (with yum), and I'm banging my head against the wall. I originally thought it was the ivtv stuff I had installed, or the mythtv stuff I was trying to get working, but when I discovered I can no longer play *any* .mpg (MPEG-2) videos that I've had for years, I am reverting to suspecting the sound drivers or mplayer. What to do next? -- Kevin J.
