Howdy,
I've had this problem for a really long time. I've tried adjusting
settings in Smplayer to stop it but so far, I have not found the magic
combination or option to change. I don't have pulseaudio here. Just
Alsa and friends.
As some know, I use Smplayer to watch TV with. I use the old dying
Gnome-player to watch other videos on my computer screen and sound
through computer speakers. I tend to watch fix it videos etc with
Gnome-player. Anyway, one thing that Smplayer does that annoys me is
each time it starts a new video, from either a fresh start or next video
in the playlist, it adjusts the PCM sound level in Kmix. Usually it
adjusts it down to almost mute. I've seen it adjust down to 6 and even
2. Either way, no sound. I've tried every setting in Smplayer and the
audio section I can find and no matter what, it adjusts the PCM sound
level in Kmix every single time. It's annoying as heck. I think I've
looked in every config file that deals with sound. I've removed or
commented out a lot of volume settings with no change.
Does anyone know if there is a way to tell it to knock it off? It's
getting so annoying, I'm thinking about abandoning Smplayer. So far, I
haven't seen any other player do this. That's why I think it is a
Smplayer setting somewhere. By the way, Smplayer is set to not change
volume with Kmix or anything else. I adjust the volume on the TV
itself, with a remote. One woould think that it bypassing sound control
devices that it would also leave Kmix alone, since it shouldn't even be
going through it anyway.
Ideas?
Dale
