Hi, I have a similar setup: - Matrox G450 - Audio Aureal Vortex2 - XFree86 4.2.1 instead of 4.3 though Okay, lets begin with the basic information: 1) Video works for you 2) You have problems with audio Questions: 1) Do you have audio at all? 2) Is it corrupted? 3) Or, is it just not synced with the video output? I mean, does the audio comes before/after the scenes? I need to know further information. 1) If you do not have any audio, ogle might be have been having problems accessing your audio device /dev/dsp. Do you run either KDE or GNOME? I see you run GNOME. If you are running the esound esd sound daemon, ogle might be having problems accessing the device. The following "KDE on FreeBSD" FAQ entry might be helpful. - KDE on FreeBSD http://freebsd.kde.org/faq.shtml Check Question 9. ---- Q9: How can I make arts play nicely with xmms (or any other sound application)? A9.1: Let's start with ls /dev/dsp*. If you get a list like this (and you probably will, most modern sound cards will be auto set up this way) you're already good to go: /dev/dsp /dev/dsp0.0 /dev/dsp0.2 /dev/dsp0 /dev/dsp0.1 /dev/dsp0.3 If you only have dsp + dsp0, or possibly dsp0.0, you need to set some things up by hand. Put the following two lines into /etc/sysctrl.conf: hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=4 hw.snd.maxautovchans=4 In the KDE Control Center, tell arts to use /dev/dsp0.1. If you use esd, tell it to use /dev/dsp0.2 (just don't ask me how to do that, I don't use esd). Applications like XMMS and others will continue to use the defaults (/dev/dsp0 or /dev/dsp0.0) and you will still have /dev/dsp0.3 if you come up with anything else that still clashes. ---- You see? It's a way to have 4 different dsp devices. If you tell esound esd daemon to not use the default /dev/dsp one, all other applications can use it since it's no longer being held. However, I do not recall how to tell esound how to access an alterante dsp device. Check the GNOME Control Center Audio tabs for that. 2) If the audio is being corrupted, there might be some problems with the new audio core for ogle. Although they have only added new audio formats decoding (i.e., did not change the pre-existing decoding engine), the DVD you're playing might have triggered a yet not found bug. Could you try using ogle with different DVDs? Make sure to use AC3 audio DVDs 1st (and select AC3 output within the DVD audio menus). Let me know what happens. 3) If it is an audio syncing problem, you might want to try something like the following. Create a ~/.oglerc file with the following contents: <ogle_conf> <audio> <sync> <type>odelay</type> </sync> </audio> </ogle_conf> then try with <ogle_conf> <audio> <sync> <type>clock</type> </sync> </audio> </ogle_conf> as well. Do any of these make any difference? Check the manual page oglerc(5) for more information on oglerc options. Well, I hope this fixes it for you. If we still cannot find a solution, we might need to resort to ogle developers. Regards, -- Mario S F Ferreira - DF - Brazil - "I guess this is a signature."
