Hello there, I installed MPlayer 1.0pre5 from source and everything seemed to work. But when I try to play mpeg videos the sound sounds like played under water and distorted. I thought that this is a MPlayer problem but i read in the MPlayer list, that this might be a gcc problem in combination with mp3lib. There are a few solutions mentioned: The first was to use libmad instead of mp3lib. I tried it with mplayer -ac mad xyz.mpg but the sound is still distorted. After that I tried to recompile MPlayer with the following additional entry in the config.mak EXTRA_INC = -fno-strict-aliasing But nothing changed. So before I have to go the hard way and recompile my gcc (what I would like to avoid), does anyone know another solution? Thanks a lot Andy

I changed the entry in the codecs.conf file from driver "mp3lib" to driver "libmad" That works well for me. Greetings, Martin! -- Manche wollen den Frieden durch Ruestung erzwingen. Andere vermeiden es einfach, sich Feinde zu machen. Alexander Bartolich in at.linux

I don't know why, but this doesn't help. I deleted the mp3lib entry in the codecs.conf and also configured my config to # Write your default config options here! afm=libmad But the sound is stilled distorted. What can I do?

I've had similar problems in other situations. Instead of MPlayer, I've noticed that when I use "mpg123" to play a song, it sounds -- as you describe it -- like it's under water and distorted. When I use "alsaplayer" however, it comes out fine. But since "xine" plays DVDs okay for me (Not SuSE's emasculated version, obviously), I've just trained myself not to use "mpg123". Getting it fixed once and for all is on my List of Things To Do, but as long as I have a working solution, I'm in no hurry to spend a lot of time on it. The only reason I mention it is because the problem may be more systemic than simply localized to "MPlayer" -- perhaps you need to try a different driver for your sound card, or try ALSA instead of OSS, or any number of other settings. I presume you have audio working in other applications; perhaps you can identify a pattern between which ones work and which don't (e.g., "That's funny, programs which access /dev/dsp0 work fine, but /dev/snd/pcm* sounds funny" or something.) I'll be interested in hearing your solution -- maybe it will magically help me solve my own issue. :-) -- Dabe
