1892 | 23 <P>The fact is, Linux soundcard drivers are usually shit, and always as |
24 incompatible as they can be. It MAY take a while to find your optimal settings.</P> | |
25 <P><UL> | |
26 <LI>if you have OSS as driver, first try with <I>-ao oss</I> (this is the default). | |
27 If you experience glitches, halts or anything out of the ordinary, have a | |
28 look at <I>-ao sdl</I> (NOTE: of course you'll have to have a new SDL library and its | |
29 devel pair installed). It helps in a lot of cases (it also supports ESD, ARTS, and | |
30 up/downsampling. /esd is GNOME's, arts is KDE's sound daemon/).</LI> | |
31 <LI>if you have ALSA version 0.5, then you ALMOST always have to use <I>-ao alsa5</I> , | |
32 since 0.5 has buggy OSS emulation code, and will <B>crash MPlayer</B> with | |
33 a message like this:<BR> | |
34 <UL> | |
35 <CODE>DEMUXER: Too many (945 in 8390980 bytes) video packets in the buffer!</CODE></UL> | |
36 </LI> | |
37 <LI>if you have ALSA version 0.9, use <I>-ao oss</I> or <I>-ao sdl</I> as you | |
2060 | 38 wish. You can also use <I>-ao alsa9</I> as it works now, however it has many |
39 problems (losing sync, disappearing audio, etc).</LI> | |
1892 | 40 </UL></P> |
41 | |
42 <P>On <B>Solaris/FreeBSD</B> systems, use the SUN audio driver with the | |
43 <I>-ao sun</I> option, otherwise you'll have no video, nor audio playing.</P> | |

1892 | 109 <LI>on Linux, use at least kernel 2.4 if possible, 2.2 isn't tested |
110 <LI>if sound clicks when playing from CD-ROM, turn on IRQ unmasking ! | |
1612 | 111 for example "hdparm -u1 /dev/cdrom" (see "man hdparm" !!!) |
112 This is recommended anyways... (for XMMS, etc...) | |
1682 | 113 Read section <A HREF="cd-dvd.html#4.1">4.1</A>. |
1892 | 114 <LI>don't use your soundcard by other application ( for ex. XMMS ) ! |
2202 | 115 if you use ESD, start MPlayer with the '-vo sdl:esd' option ! |
1892 | 116 <LI>Please tell us how MPlayer and your soundcard(s) worked together! |
