- Problem: you compiled and run <application>MPlayer</application> on
- different machines (for example compiled on P3 and running on Celeron)
- </para>
- <para>
- Solution: compile <application>MPlayer</application> on the same machine
- where you will use it!
- </para>
- <para>
- Workaround: You can forget all this by configuring with the
- <option>--enable-runtime-cpudetection</option> option or you can
- disable particular CPU instruction sets with more specific options (like
- <option>--disable-mmx</option>, <option>--disable-3dnow</option>, etc).

-<listitem><para>
- most common: buggy audio driver! - try to use different drivers, try ALSA OSS
- emulation with <option>-ao oss</option>, also try <option>-ao sdl</option>,
- sometimes it helps. If your file plays fine with <option>-nosound</option>,
- then you can be sure it's sound card (driver) problem.

-<listitem><para>
- samplerate problems - maybe your card doesn't support the samplerate used in

- <para>slow machine (CPU or VGA)</para>
- <para>
- try with <option>-vo null</option>, if it plays well, then you have slow
- VGA card/driver

- <para>
- Workaround: buy a faster card or read this documentation about how to speed up
- </para>
