Have you tried with another sound player, say audacious or xmms2? Have you tried different earphones? > I can listen to a music recording just fine.

This sounds like you have a notch filter operating. Since sound is fine on speakers it is almost certainly *not* mplayer. Do you have an equalizer in the earphones? Is it set to knock out frequencies around 200 - 300 hz? Are the earphones noise cancelling? Could the noise cancellation be functioning incorrectly? _______________________________________________ MPlayer-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mplayerhq.hu/mailman/listinfo/mplayer-users
