Public bug reported: Hi,
I cannot manage to get mplayer output sound when running inside a script. I have a script: -rwxr-xr-x ~/Softs/alarm.sh Which contains: mplayer ~/.sounds/alarm.ogg -loop 3 1. If I run the script with: . ~/Softs/alarm.sh I can hear the sound. 2. If I run the script with: ~/Softs/alarm.sh I hear nothing but the output of mplyer is normal, the same as when it play a sound correctly. I've read millions of forums, tried millions of options of mplayer (DISPLAY=:0.0 mplayer, -vo null, -ao pulse, -volume, -af, -softvol/-softvolmax, -really-quiet...) I've also tried other players, like aplayer (same problem) and play (no problem). Does anyone have an idea if this is a bug and/or where does this difference in behaviour comes from??? ** Affects: mplayer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1654532 Title: mplayer no sound from script To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mplayer/+bug/1654532/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
