.wavs play but not .mp3s

2007-03-07 Thread David Benfell
Hello all,

I'm not having any trouble playing .wav files; lame -h
seems to happily convert them, and mpg123 and madplay
don't complain when I ask them to play .mp3s, but I'm
also not hearing any sound.

xmms does nothing.  I'm not getting any visible errors
in any of this.

I tried using the sample command from the FreeBSD manual,
which specifies a device; I don't have dsp1.0 so I tried
dsp0.0 .

I have:

crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 45 Mar  2 13:49 /dev/dsp0.0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 48 Mar  6 22:28 /dev/dsp0.1
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 51 Mar  2 13:49 /dev/dsp0.2
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 54 Mar  2 13:49 /dev/dsp0.3
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 57 Mar  2 13:49 /dev/dsp0.4
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 61 Mar  2 13:49 /dev/dsp0.5
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 46 Mar  2 13:49 /dev/dspW0.0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 49 Mar  2 13:49 /dev/dspW0.1
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 52 Mar  2 13:49 /dev/dspW0.2
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 55 Mar  2 13:49 /dev/dspW0.3
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 58 Mar  2 13:49 /dev/dspW0.4
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 62 Mar  2 13:49 /dev/dspW0.5
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 60 Mar  2 13:49 /dev/dspr0.4
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0, 64 Mar  2 13:49 /dev/dspr0.5

So, why is this such a problem?

This looks like it might be a Sony device (or perhaps an HDA Intel sound
device). If this is the case, try the OSS sound drivers.

I had to use them from 6.0 till current. Not sure if 6.2 supports the
above natively (only because I went with what I knew worked).

Here's the link: http://www.opensound.com/download.cgi

It's really easy to install.

Hi!

I'm not sure about this, but sometimes the volume of the different output 
devices is just maladjusted. You may want to check the output of mixer to see 
if any relevant devices are zero.

Maybe this helps,

Benjamin

Hi Benjamin,

earth% mixer
Mixer vol  is currently set to  75:75
Mixer pcm  is currently set to  75:75
Mixer speaker  is currently set to  75:75
Mixer line is currently set to  75:75
Mixer mic  is currently set to   0:0
Mixer cd   is currently set to  75:75
Mixer rec  is currently set to   0:0
Mixer igainis currently set to   0:0
Mixer ogainis currently set to  50:50

Mixer phin is currently set to   0:0
Mixer phoutis currently set to   0:0
Mixer videois currently set to  75:75
Recording source: mic

And like I say, .wav files play fine.  Why
would these settings affect mp3s and not wavs?

Thanks!
