Scott, Beware of the mplayer 'mute' command, the 'm' key. It sets the sound card PCM volume to zero and leaves it there until you unmute it again. Unfortunately if you exit mplayer while it is muted, you have no sound, and resuming mplayer again is of no help. Evidently getting back into mplayer starts off with audio unmuted, but PCM is still 0, which is very confusing to say the least. So while mplayer is working, keep your paws off the keyboard! <smile> Chuck On Fri, 11 Mar 2005, Scott Howell wrote: > Don't know about dmix, but will look into that, actually not heard of > that one before.
