Sound will not work in Mplayer. Video is fine. I have tried changing settings, but nothing gets sound working.

Pmusic works with no problems.

Precord mp3 recorder/player works no problems.

PupRadio no sound.

Any help?

Setting does not function for Romanian (ro) keyboard at boot (it should look like păî, lşţ, 0+'â) . After boot it still remains US keyboard layout. Quirky 005 were ok.

morie posted a fix for /usr/bin/xwin. There was a typo in my new code that sets the keyboard layout to correctly match that chosen for the console.

Inspiron 4000, 800ghz, 500mb ram,
ati rage graphics, maestro 3 snd.

Gnome-mplayer plays video files well, mp4, flv, wmv, asf.

Plays dvd movie fine.

Dvd music video (Cure-Trilogy) plays menu okay, but clicking
any track on video kills the sound. Tried oss, didn't help.

Resource usage:

Compared it to Vlc-0.8.6h-engv5 on a 4.1.2 install.
Uses same amount of ram playing videos, dvds; excellent.
Cpu on vlc has 40-50% idle on dvds; cpu on gnome-mplayer
is pegged at 100%; not so good.

Barry,

Sorry, I forgot to tell you that when I got Mplayer working, PupRadio now works. In PupRadio, under preferred player, Mplayer is the only thing that you can select.

alsa being enabled would be nice. I and I would think others, us it as the default for sound.

Hello mr BarryK, I complied gnome-2.29.5 for quirky and found that NTFS partition can only be loaded readable by Devicekit-disks, can not write to it.
After run
ln -s -f /bin/ntfs-3g /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g
ln -s -f /bin/ntfs-3g /sbin/mount.ntfs
everything is ok now.
Maybe someone will meet this question later ?

German keyboard layout setting does not seem to be retained despite having been set up in the Puppy XORG setup screen.

This has to be fixed by editing the keyboard input device section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf from 'us' to 'de' and similarly for /etc/X11/xorg.conf.ATI_ATOMBIOSHPw1907

Same problem still exists with setting up WLAN0 as was the case with Quirky 005. Workaround is to use the network wizard to scan for available WIFI access points and then quitting. Then use PWIRELESS to rescan for the access point and then acquire the IP-address via DHCP.

Apart from that, all's well on the western front. (old WW1 expression for everything's OK around these parts - not that I'm old enough to remember WW1)
