[MPlayer-users] Not able to hear sound on Solaris when Mplayer is used

[Narendra Kumar S.S]

Hi,

       I have mplayer installed on Solaris-10 on AMD-64 Opteron box.

       I am trying to play a ".wmv" file using mplayer.
       I am able to see the video, but there is no sound.
       When I play the same file using gmplayer, I am able to hear the
sound.

       If I use the option "mplayer -ao sun <.wmv>", I am able to hear
sound.
       But, when I become super-user and execute mplayer, I don't have to
give any option. It plays the file without any problem.

       Here is the screen dump (when I am seeing the problem):
