i recently aquired a DVD ROM drive. i wasn't able to install the newest verison of XINE successfully, so i went ahead with mplayer. i can watch dvds now, but the volume is incredibly low. i have it all the way up on mplayer but it's not loud enough compared to other computer sounds, and when i turn the external volume up on the 4.1 creative sound system i have, other computer sounds blow me across the room because they are so loud. i'm using a soundblaster 16PCI card. Aumix only adjusts overall sounds. anyone know where i can adjust the output sound of mplayer? i don't want to get blown away by computer sounds because i have to turn the volume up to watch a DVD. thanks.If you have both Aumix and Kmix turned right up full and have set them as such as default settings, maybe you need to look at gmplayer itself, there are a number of audio driver settings in preferences, if that does not work, then I would suspect you need better versions of lame. Mplayer is a very demanding programme, a hell of a lot of resource goes into playing moving pictures, some sound drivers may not work well with mplayer. I installed Ralph Slooten's, lame-20030216cvs-1mdk.i586.rpm from his website.
