Hello dex,
I've removed the unwanted alsa-lib*rpm.i386. The problem remained. So I reinstalled the alsa-lib*rpm.i386 and the problem disappeared. Mplayer is now working again.
Thanks, for your help Bernhard
Hello All,
may anyone can help me ? Mplayer ist not playing sound anymore. I belive this happens after one of the latest updates. I get the error: Opening audio decoder: [mp3lib] MPEG layer-2, layer-3 AUDIO: 44100 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 96.0 kbit/6.80% (ratio: 12000->176400) Selected audio codec: [mp3] afm: mp3lib (mp3lib MPEG layer-2, layer-3) ========================================================================== [AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm_direct.c:1632:(snd_pcm_direct_parse_open_conf) Unknown field ipc_sem [AO_ALSA] Playback open error: Invalid argument Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound. Audio: no sound Starting playback...
I'm using FC 5 with a 2.6.18-prep SMP x86_64 kernel and $rpm -qa | grep alsa alsa-lib-1.0.14-0.1.rc1.fc5 alsa-lib-1.0.14-0.1.rc1.fc5 alsa-utils-1.0.14-0.1.rc1.fc5 alsa-lib-devel-1.0.14-0.1.rc1.fc5
$rpm -qa | grep mplayer mplayer-1.0-0.72.20070325svn.lvn5 mplayer-fonts-1.1-3.lvn5
Why 2x alsa-lib-1.0.14-0.1.rc1.fc5 ? Delete it an reinstall ?
Thanks, Bernhard
Sounds like multilib problems I dont have a 64bit box so can't be much help. run these commands as root: rpm -qa --queryformat '%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n'|grep alsa
you should see a mix of 64 & 32 bit rpms remove the unwanted with rpm -e --noscripts --notriggers Your-unwanted-rpm.ix86
watch it the out going rpm could take with it wanted files so I allways do a rpm -V packagename after. also putting exactarch=1 in yum.conf should avoid multilib problems but I cant be certain. if you get stuck post back!
