On some machines, speakers do not activate automatically, they need a "driver" that switches the connector to active. Also check mixer settings. ALWAYS check them. :-) > Installed mplayer from within ports, > # cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer > # make install clean > and tried to play some mp3's and got a codec error :(, since machine > is 64 bit installing codecs from mplayer site does not work :(, and > linux compatibility is not installed. Use command line tools like madplay or mpg123 for testing. Also consider using xmms as a versatile MP3 (and OGG/Vorbis) media player. > Sorry for drifting out of > original sound problem, but I also tried to play a dvd and it failed > to load since atapi cam was not in /boot/loader.conf because cd/dvd > drive is old style(not SATA) That doesn't matter. I have parallel ATA devices here that play nicely with ATAPICAM (mainly in use for CD and DVD recording). But you shouldn't need to have ATAPICAM in order to play DVDs. I know that mplayer has a configuration option for that... maybe it's sufficient to link /dev/acd0 to /dev/dvd (per /etc/devfs.conf) to provide the default location, or use -dvd-device <dev> to name it on the command line. Also make sure you have the required codecs installed. Going through "make config" in mplayer (or mencoder) is always a good choice. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
