[Mplayer-users] Sound problem with -vo x11 at 16bpp.

[chitta at cse.iitkgp.ernet.in]

Hi,

I do get to see the picture after using the suggested workaround:
./configure --disable-mmx
But I now get a ringing sound when the soundtrack is played.
This problem was not there when I was not getting the picture.
The sound then was clear to a layman.

I am running mplayer on a 800MHz Pentium-III, 128MB RAM and i810 chip
set, no audio/video card, RedHat Linux 7.0 (2.2.16-2).

Would playing at a different bpp (not 16bpp) with the default configure
(sans workaround) be of any help?
(I need help to change the bpp of X11).

 Hi Arpi,
 
 I have had a long standing problem of getting a black window without any
 picture although I do get to hear the sound track.
 The command line I use is appended after my message.
 My X11 runs at 16bpp.
 I would like to see if the problem goes away at another(24) bpp.
 But, I do not know how to change the bpp.
 Can anyone help me out with some information on how the bpp of X11 can
 be changed.
 Any other suggestion on how I can rectify this problem?
 
 Many thanks in advance!
 Chitta
