[Freevo-users] Problems with /dev/mixer

[Thomas Buchmann]

Hello everyone,   freevo 1.4.1 worked fine until today. I tried to play a movie from CD. The movie was shown correctly but i didn't hear the sound. When i tried to turn up the volume i got an error message that freevo couldn't access /dev/mixer. Here is the part of the logfile:   Couldn't open mixer /dev/mixer Crash! Traceback (most recent call last):   File "./src/main.py", line 457, in ?     main_func()   File "./src/main.py", line 353, in main_func     if p.eventhandler(event=event):   File "/usr/local/freevo/src/plugins/mixer.py", line 143, in eventhandler     self.incMainVolume(event.arg)   File "/usr/local/freevo/src/plugins/mixer.py", line 196, in incMainVolume     self.mainVolume += step AttributeError: PluginInterface instance has no attribute 'mainVolume' 1 child(s) still running, terminate them shutting down --prio=-20 /usr/local/bin/mplayer -autosync 100 -nolirc -autoq 100 -screenw 800 -screenh 600 -fs -slave -ao oss:/dev/dsp -v -vo xv,sdl,x11, -cache 5000 -idx /media/cdrom/The Cell.avi -cdrom-device /dev/cdrom   /dev/mixer should be accessible by everyone:   ll /dev/mixer lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            6 Jun  7 20:27 /dev/mixer -> mixer0   any ideas?   thx Thomas
