Hi,
It's possible that mplayer is defaulting to oss. I might have the wrong
I think it was, however, some tracks seemed to be using alsa...
syntax here, but according to the manual, the way to use alsa would be:
mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=0,0 <audiofile>
The example given in the manual is actually
mplayer -ao alsa:noblock:device=hw=0.3 <audiofile>
but I'm not sure if the noblock option is needed or desired.
Yep that worked.
The device hw:x,y is your hardware card number x, device number y. If you
have 1 soundcard with 1 output device then it will be 0,0. If you want to
use your second card, first device, it will be 1,0.
Thanks for this info, I only have one sound card so
mplayer -ao alsa
worked, but if I ever have more soundcards I'll know how to handle it.
Thanks for explaining that.
If this works for you, you might want to put it in your .mplayer/config file.
Just put whatever follows the "mplayer -" (i.e.
ao alsa:device=hw=0,0
Yep except don't you need an = sign?
I have one in mine.
Note that it may well default to 0,0 so using "mplayer -ao alsa" may be
sufficient.
It is on my system.
Also who wants to use os these days?
So why do they still have it?
Good luck,
Thanks for all this info!
