Description Marek Kozlowski 2011-05-08 10:18:07 UTC
This version has a lot of picture quality improvements (or maybe different default settings?) so I switched to it (USE="alsa dbus libnotify"). Unfortunately, the sound issues make it almost unusable:

I have ThinkPad T400 with Intel 82801I (ICH9) sound card, 2.6.37-r4 kernel with ALSA support and XFCE4 stable.

I can select "Audio Output" (Player tab): 
with "Default" I can hardly hear any sound (with PCM and Master over 90% !),
with "HDA Intel (CONNEXANT Analog) it's a bit louder but volume settings apply mostly to the left channel (why?); the channels differ,
with "HDA Intel (Connexant Digital) there is no sound at all.

"Mplayer Software Volume Control Enabled" (MPlayer tab) doesn't work at all no matter which "Audio Output" is selected. No effect.

The option: "-af volume=20:0" works perfect if I use mplayer from the command line. Putting it to "Extra Options to Mplayer" (MPlayer tab) has no effect.

Didn't have such issues with the previous version.
TVtime and Audacious work perfect. Doesn't seem to be issue with my sound card.

Reproducible: Always

1.0.4 is now in Portage, so I believe this bug can be closed ->
