Recently I have been getting audio troubles with the newer movies I have downloaded, errr... have had loaned to me. (That's it!) :D
As best I can tell it's an Audio Codec problem. None of the available OS/2 players can play back the audio.
Here are the relevant Audio Specifications and, as far as I know, this is correct, but I got it from the person who err... "loaned" me the movie.
Audio Codec: AAC
Bitrate: 239 Kbps VBR
Sample Rate: 48.0 kHz
Channel Count: 6
Here's the error that I'm getting with KMPlayer. I get a similar error with MPlayer;
"DART error(1138e):Hardware error.
Cannot open audio"
I changed the config settings to use UniAud. That yielded up this error;
sample rate supported: 4000 to 96000
channels refine err: -22
pcm open error -10006
Cannot open audio
I am noticing this problem occurring more and more frequently with the newer movies, especially the higher quality versions. If anyone can offer some helpful advice I would appreciate it.
Oh! And using BreezeSleep, (WindDoze) is not an option. 8)
Hi Ben,
Have you tried with the latest VLC on hobbes?

Murphy's Law.
I tried VLC last night after I had tried the other players, and it locked up my machine with a JFS error. It took 45 minutes to chkdsk my machine!
After I read your reply I rebooted and tried VLC again and... it worked... with audio.
Thanks, Ivan, for the tip and the incentive to retry VLC.
