What exactly happens? Are there no mixers, is it not possible to adjust them, or does adjusting them not make a difference?
When playing mplayer, there is a playback mixer in alsamixer, and it works. When mplayer is stopped, the playback mixer is gone, while the other mixers are still there.
it seems mplayer has occupied the system.
Just having it installed (very unlikely) or when it is running?
After I ran mplayer the first time, system sound was gone.
How can I use mplayer _and_ have sound for youtube etc again?
Are you using pulseaudio? If not, do that. If you are, then make sure that alsa-plugins and pulseaudio-alsa are installed too.
yes, I do, and all the libraries are installed. thanks for your answer. cheers -- thorsten
