jbuckley2004 Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 (edited) In Mandriva 2008 I've gone through the procedure of installing realplay10gold to my home directory, and in firefox, added the network protocol-handler to point to it. When I go to CSPANs page for America and the Courts (don't ask! It's the only place I really see and watch RTSP streams), I can see the video, but get no audio. I think I've done all the trouble shooting - my sound card is working, the volume is turned up (on the RealPlay quit, too). When I download a .ra file to $HOME, open realplayer and point it to the file, I get the error message Unsupported document type. (file:///home/me/dreamst1.ra) I made sure that the win32 codecs were there, and also installed the real-codec and helix codec from PLF, but unlike the past experiences, I'm seeing video and just not hearing any audio. It's got to be the codecs, right? If they don't go into the $HOME/Realplayer/codecs directory, could someone please tell me where they do belong? Or am I missing something? Thanks Edited October 27, 2007 by jbuckley2004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 These codecs aren't used by RealPlayer. Most probably you don't have OSS emulation running- AFAIK all versions or RealPlayer use OSS as the sound server. What's the output of lsmod | grep oss in a console?

jbuckley2004 Posted October 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Thanks for the replay, Scarecrow. What I get from lsmod is $ sudo lsmod | grep oss snd_seq_oss 29280 0 snd_seq_midi_event 6816 1 snd_seq_oss snd_seq 45968 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event snd_pcm_oss 37312 0 snd_mixer_oss 14624 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_seq_device 7244 4 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_rawmidi snd_pcm 68996 4 snd_pcm_oss,snd_ca0106,snd_ac97_codec snd 43972 18 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_ca0106,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_dev ce,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer Not sure how to interpret this, though. Doesn't it tell me that OSS emulation is indeed running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
