I have a fresh installation of SuSE 9.0 Personal. Everything seem to work "out of the box" exept Real Player. When trying to play something is goes "Cannot open the audio device. Another application may be using it". As far as I can tell I have no other audio applications open. Suggestions? -j PS: I installed Mandrake on this same machine, and here Real Player worked "out of the box". -- Janus Sandsgaard http://janus.dk

Does it stay like that or after a few minutes does it work? If so (or even if not so, just in case), go to the KDE Control Centre and select "Sound System" from under "Sound and Multimedia" (that's KDE 3.1.4 - perhaps it is different in other versions). On the "aRTs" tab, there is an option "Autosuspend if idle for:" option. On my set up this was set to some high value. Change it to something lower (mine is 5 seconds). Then "Apply" etc. Steve -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/8C6894mqX5AIfgARAowqAKCOI4UetlXhWJd5t9Q0lSdlQf5oIQCfWRCj KnlFl2dqXWfYUOPyhfeS19I= =fOVp -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Try disabling aRts and see if it works then. KDE Control Center, Sound -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM. I say, by the grace of God, I am what I am.

I thought Realplayer worked with artsd, just in case "killall artsd" and give it a try. You can always start "artsd" again from the command line in case it's configured in YaST to be always on. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer Linux Only Shop.
