The first time I installed RealPlayer, there is no sound but just video, after having read several threads from Internet, I finally got through and got it work with the following method.
1, download RealPlayer-*.rpm
2, rpm -ihv RealPlayer-*.rpm
Notes: do not rush to run RealPlayer yet.
3, yum install alsa-oss, in order to use libaoss.so mentioned in step 4
4, Now, it's time to edit the realplay script. Do # vim /usr/bin/realplay and add the lines:
LD_PRELOAD="$LDPRELOAD:/usr/lib/libaoss.so.0.0.0"
export LD_PRELOAD
Add the above lines just after the section:
if [ -n "$LD_PRELOAD" ]; then
echo "Warning: LD_PRELOAD=\"$LD_PRELOAD\""
fi
Save and exit.
5, Now run realplay and follow the instruction what comes with first time run of the realplayer. Once you are done with these instructions, quit the realplayer and edit the file ~/.realplayerrc. Add the line SoundDriver=2 to it below the [helix] section
Please refer to for more detail
Problem: Every time I start RealPlayer, the PCM sound will be reset to be 39% lower and I have to readjust volume to its maximum. Why?
