Not sure if this is your problem, but when I was debugging sound on my system using an "mencoder" command string, I kept leaving off the "chanlist=" option in the hope of keeping things simple ... after hours of trying, I finally figured out that when I added that option back in, sound worked again. [in my case it was "chanlist=us-cable" IIRC]. to figure out the mixer settings I also found it helpful to run Freevo in a window rather than fullscreen, run a graphical mixer in another window, and watch the settings on the mixer to see what freevo does when it starts up. It turned out Freevo was muting my mic, and aumix solved it as per other posts to this list. cheers, Mary ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
