Recommended Posts

I have had super results with my shuttle AN35N mobo,nforce chipset, and mobo sound (which I think is a realtec chip. KMix works beautifully, and xine, Mplayer, Kaffeine, and anything else I have tried seems to work just fine.

 

I went up to a language site and clicked on some sounds - a small mp3 downloads and then something tried to play it, but I only get the last little bit of the sound. i tried setting mp3 to amrock, audacity, etc, but nothing seemed to change it at all. (If I use say audacity to play the mp3 in temp, it plays fine.)

 

Any tips?

tia!!!

What language site is that? I tried: http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book...va=test&x=7&y=9 but it plays wavs and not mp3 and works perfectly fine.

 

Do you have a plugin installed (mplayerplug-in or mozplugger)? Else try that.

I do not hear anything.

No matter what I put in the firefox/edit/preferences/ it does not seem to work - for example, if I put mplayer in there I get only the tail end ot the soundbyte.

can't get realplayer installed - can't get its plugoin in firefox have no idea what I'm doing here.

My guess would be that firefox isn't finding the plugin. Look for these 2 files (updatedb (as root) and locate):mplayerplug-in.so  and mplayerplug-in.xpt. Copy these files to /home/your name/.mozilla/plugins (that's were I have them) and try again.

Yeah, it doesn't seem to be able to play it, or play it completely with mplayer. I did inadvertantly get it to work perfectly with realplayer. not sure how so I am going to try to undo everything realplayerish and install it again, because I have realplayer in 2 places - it should be in user/local, I think but I also have in in firefox/plugins - I know how that happened. and I did have to go ahead and allow the bad signature thing and yes, it caused no probs. Back in 10 min.

Yeah (wound up doing a full install since my trash had been trashed :lol2: I installed RealPlayer (please understand that realplayer is against my religion) - I think I got an rpm from real. it installed to /use/local . I forgor to clear out the plugins in user/.mozilla (sorry, so all I really know is while the mplayer plugins are in there, it won't work, but if the two rp plugins are there AND I go into edit preferenced and douple click mp3 and RE-choose /usr/loca/lrealplayer or whatever, then when I click on one of those letters, a little RP player pops up and plays it - good fidelity.

So Thanks!!!
