[gentoo-user] Sound plays in double speed.

[gentoo-user] Sound plays in double speed.

[David Harel]

Hi there,


I don't know how I got this: When playing a wma file I here the audio in 
fast speed (seems double speed) and anything else from that moment is 
played in double speed. I don't know where to start looking.

Any idea?

More information? What program did you use to play the wma file? What
do you mean by "anything else from that moment"? Do you mean anything
else played with the same software? Or all sounds for your entire
system?

There was a sequence of operations. I tried amarok which didn't play the 
clip then I tried mplayer which did play the clip but speedy then 
anything I played on any software tool was twice the speed (entire system).

Okay, a few more questions:
  1) Is that behavior reproducible? 
    a) If you reboot, does the sound play normally?
    b) After the reboot, if you play that same wma file again, does it
       break sound still?
  2) Do you run any sound daemons? (ESD, aRts, etc.)
  3) By any software tool, did you include aplay? If not, find some
     wav file, and run it through aplay. If you don't have wav files
     handy, do 
        sox <soundfile> -t wav - | aplay
     use some <soundfile> that is known to be good, not the wma file
     the causes problem. If you don't have sox, emerge it.

Yep, but I don't have to reboot, I killed the artswrapper the other time 
(it logged me out) and it was enough to restore audio capabilities.

Yes, Can't play it at all.

Ok, did that, the speed was still doubled.

BTW, you can get your 3 espresso shots anytime over here. Feel free to come.

Okay, hum. When you play that wma file with mplayer, what does mplayer
say about the file? In particular, I am looking for something that
looks like:

Playing music/phd1.mp3.
Cache fill:  0.00% (0 bytes)    Audio file detected.
==========================================================================
Opening audio decoder: [mp3lib] MPEG layer-2, layer-3
AUDIO: 44100 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 96.0 kbit/6.80% (ratio: 12000->176400)
Selected audio codec: [mp3] afm:mp3lib (mp3lib MPEG layer-2, layer-3)
==========================================================================
Checking audio filter chain for 44100Hz/2ch/s16le -> 44100Hz/2ch/s16le...
AF_pre: 44100Hz/2ch/s16le
AO: [oss] 44100Hz 2ch s16le (2 bps)
Building audio filter chain for 44100Hz/2ch/s16le -> 44100Hz/2ch/s16le...

Which shows the audio decoder used, the audio sampling rate, number of
channels, the output driver, etc.
