Hi Reimar,

Thank you very much for your quick reply. Yes, I was a bit fuzzy in my explanation, see below the details about the issue.

I am running 64bit Windows 7.

loadfile xxxx.mp4

mplayer output

You probably should start by mentioning that you are running Windows next time, that makes write a difference ;-) it would also help if you told us which version of Windows and provided a bit of MPlayer output.
I wouldn't expect changing the video output to make any difference, so that's not surprising.
But you should probably try the two audio output modules available on Windows. One is dsound and I forgot the name of the other.
However I don't think either of them is supposed to have this behaviour, so it seems likely that either you have a MPlayer version where it's broken or your audio drivers are buggy. In which case knowing what drivers and version your sound card uses might help as well.
