Re: mplayer plugin no sound

I'm using pekwm, sound works for all other applications i've tried, from multiple sources too.

I tested using the MediaPlayerConnectivity extension for firefox to open the file with mplayer, and i got an error message saying:
[AO SDL] Unable to open audio: No available audio device

Re: mplayer plugin no sound

so it's pointing too an ao sdl problem, do you have any sdl based apps installed to test, is anything else running the same time?

try pacman -S sdlmixer
