Hi, I recently installed a Creative Soundblaster Audigy. I Went to
System Settings -> Soundcard Detection and then changed my default soundcard from the onboard VIA one to the one I just installed. Everything seems to work fine, except for mplayer. When I try and play an MP3 through it, it gives me: 'Could not open/initialise audio device ->no sound'. And when I try and play video through it, the video plays but no sound. Why is mplayer not picking up the new card? Is there somewhere I must set my default card with mplayer? I'm running FC4.
Many thanks,
Greg
I removed the FC4 default mplayer in favour of the livna repo version. Gave me much less hassle, and featured the gui (gmplayer), FC4 on my system did not feature that out of the box. From the homepage of mplayer
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/ I also downloaded the codec set for it. Currently it also has an uptodate FC4 rpm package for mplayer itself btw.
Do you have alsa and alsamixer installed ? Audigy has a plethora of channels you can set for in- and output. Kmixer also doe the trick.
Many also advise to add these lines to your ~/.mplayer/config for better results in both audio and video. I haven't been able to prove them right or wrong. YMMV.
