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

1682 | 115 <P><UL> |
1892 | 116 <LI>on Linux, use at least kernel 2.4 if possible, 2.2 isn't tested |
117 <LI>if sound clicks when playing from CD-ROM, turn on IRQ unmasking ! | |
1612 | 118 for example "hdparm -u1 /dev/cdrom" (see "man hdparm" !!!) |
119 This is recommended anyways... (for XMMS, etc...) | |
1682 | 120 Read section <A HREF="cd-dvd.html#4.1">4.1</A>. |
1892 | 121 <LI>don't use your soundcard by other application ( for ex. XMMS ) ! |
2202 | 122 if you use ESD, start MPlayer with the '-vo sdl:esd' option ! |
1892 | 123 <LI>Please tell us how MPlayer and your soundcard(s) worked together! |
