Xine produces video but no sound. The same files work fine with mplayer without adjusting mixers, and xmms, sox, ogg123 etc. are all OK. I use OSS for everything. xine --audio-driver oss videocd.mpg makes no difference. Xine reports no errors regarding audio: 73 $ xine videocd.mpg This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.9.19 (c) 2000-2003 by G. Bartsch and the xine project team.

Try specifying the audio plugin explicitely with the -A command line option. You can see a list of available plugins by typing "xine --help". Remove ~/.xine before doing this.
-A is the same as --audio-driver according to xine --help. Anyway, it didn't make any difference . . .
Sorry I didn't see the --audio-driver thing in your original post. Do you have audio drivers loaded in the kernel? I see that you have "alsa" in your USE flags: are you using the ALSA sound drivers? Do you have alsa-oss package installed? I need more info to chew on (e.g. lsmod, etc.).
BTW, what does "xine --help" list as available audio plugins?
Hmm, I disabled alsa in the use flag generator, so not sure why it's there. I'll do it properly now and remerge xine when this update is finished. I suspect you might be onto something there . . . BTW just checked the GUI and oss is selected there, too. 1 $ xine --help Usage: xine [OPTIONS]... [MRL] OPTIONS are: -v, --version Display version. -V, --video-driver <drv> Select video driver by id. Available drivers: dxr3 aadxr3 xv SyncFB aa xshm none sdl vidix vidixfb fb -A, --audio-driver <drv> Select audio driver by id. Available drivers: null alsa oss arts esd
rebuilding didn't help BTW
I couldn't reproduce this bug. Ian: are you still having this issue? Maybe removing ~/.xine and reemerging a newer version would help?

Try this: emerge -C xine-ui emerge -C xine-lib emerge xine-lib After you do that last line, right after xine is done doing `configure` you will see something like this: xine-lib summary: ---------------- * input plugins: - file - net - stdin_fifo - rtp - http - mms - pnm - rtsp - dvb - dvd - vcd - cdda - gnome-vfs - v4l * demultiplexer plugins: <...snip...> * audio driver plugins: - oss (Open Sound System) - esd (Enlightened Sound Daemon) --- Right after you see that last part, hit CTRL-C to stop the emerge, and paste the xine-lib summary here.

Just tried unmerging and remerging xine-lib and xine-ui again, also blew away ~/.xine. Still no sound, no errors! Any ideas gratefully accepted. media-video/xine-ui-0.9.21 media-libs/xine-lib-1_beta12
Retiring as a Gentoo developer.
Since this bug is rather ancient I'd like to know if this still is a problem.
Just checked again ( I am forced to use mplayer as a rule ). Audio failed so I looked at advanced settings. Set OSS audio device name to /dev/dsp (was auto) and sound materialized! So as far as I am concerned, not a problem any more. Dunno when the setting got broken but all fine now.
closing as fixed
