In same FC4 both xine and mplayer installed, xine works fine, but mplayer has very very weak audio - only can hear the dvd film sound when turn hardware and software vol to max but still can hear very little, equivalent to 1/4 sound level when played with xine. I used yum installed from livna.

Did you properly adjust all the alsomixer levels?

Your meant the vol control? I checked all controls and I tried adjust every of them but none works, unless you meant something else, then please let me know a detailed proceeding. Tks.

By default mplayer uses the older linux sound subsystem. make a file in ~.mplayer/ named config and edit it to include:
ao=alsa
HTH

I included that in the config file but still won't work better.
I am not sure if this is helpful, but try alsamixer
set externel from MM to 00 if applicable.

DVD sound is always much quieter than usual. An mplayer audio filter may help. From the mplayer manpage
-af volume=10.1:0
on the mplayer commandline will "amplify the sound by 10.1dB and hard-clip if the sound level is too high"
Also try, while the DVD is running, hitting the zero key a few times to increase the normal mplayer volume level.
