You showed us the permissions for /dev/mixer but that is just a symlink to /dev/mixer0. Perhaps the permissions on /dev/mixer0 are what is causing the problem?

Do you run freevo as a different user than yourself? If you do, then perhaps the "freevo" user does not have permission to access /dev/mixer0 but your login does. That would explain why you get sound when you run mplayer yourself but not when run via freevo.

Failing that, perhaps your freevo is showing some taste and refusing to play really bad Jennifer Lopez movies?

I tried mplayer on ist own in runlevel 3 and in runlevel 5. In both cases
the sound output worked!! MPlayer obviously _CAN_ access /dev/mixer. Now the
question is why freevo can't...

Firstly,

Keep these types of questions on the user list,

Secondly,

Looks like you have an issue with /dev/mixer, not freevo..

Try the mplayer command on its own, does it work?  Do you use alsa or
oss?  Try aumixer or alsamixer to see is th mixer exists..

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!

/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
