Hi,

I cannot get sound from mplayer, sound in KDE,streaming audio (xmms), Sound card detection works but mplayer is mute with the error:-

Checking audio filter chain for 22050Hz/2ch/s16le 22050Hz/2ch/s16le...
AF_pre: 22050Hz/2ch/s16le
Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound.
Audio: no sound

How do you 'open/initialize' a sound device.
The chip is an 'RealTek ALC655 (VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97'

Thanks   david

 Go to mplayer>preferences>audio - try alsa or oss
                 -- gary

gary,
 I tried oss before and did not work,now this morning it is,
still no alsa which is the sound sys I wont working.

 thanks  david

Make sure you have all necessary alsa packages - guessing the reboot,
and sound being reloaded helped. ??  You can also add "ao=alsa to your
mplayer.config.   --gary

This is getting weird,after running a .wvm via mplayer theres no sound from oss,then the desktop freezes. I cannot run bash history with up/down keys and needs log out /log in to revive the desktop.

I think it's a udev problem not giving correct perms,this I know little off.

   Thanks david

 Try a different kernel - I've gone back to 2.6.13-1.1532  --gary
