mplayer problems with sound ( blocky cracky jerky bad )

[sv1etk]

This thread is intented for new users that experience problems with their audio playback from latest mplayer.
I don't know if this is true for older versions but latest mplayer use by default "pulse" as audio output.
In many cases (many users) experience bad sound problems with that.

I solved my problem by adding this to the ./mplayer/conf file

Code: Select all

ao=sdl

it is mentioned (although untested by me) that this works too:

Code: Select all

ao=alsa

Have fun.
