If the ALSA configuration > files shipped with your system define a "surround51" pcm, you have to > override it too in your .asoundrc. seems like each of the cards in my system has a "surround51" defined, which I can see is a problem if mplayer is opening the first thing with the name "surround51". I was under the assumption that once you made a card default, it would be the one used for any open. $ aplay -L|grep surround51 surround51:CARD=Audigy2,DEV=0 surround51:CARD=Live,DEV=0 surround51:CARD=V8237,DEV=0 I will continue to try and hunt down some documentation on how to solve this via the asoundrc file. thanks for your help _______________________________________________ MPlayer-users mailing list MPlayer-users@xxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mplayerhq.hu/mailman/listinfo/mplayer-users
