Are you usin mplayer or gmplayer? Even the developers of mplayer
dislike, disown gmplayer (see the mplayer list archive). Take a
minute to learn the CL options for mplayer (man mplayer), and
you'll never use the GUI again. As with many things, it's more
featured, more reliable ... on the CL. There's many things you can
adjust 'on the fly' on the CL, that aren't even in the GUI.
If you are usin mplayer on the CL, loss of sound smacks of a
problem with your system. If a logout/back into your WM fixes it
it's probly software (the games?). Otherwise it's probly hardware.
