Hi: I've reported this on kde-linux list. No response yet. Went from SuSE 9.3 with KDE 3.5.2? (maybe; 3.5 something anyway) to SuSE 10.2 KDE 3.5.5. Different hardware also. Old hardware was an old Compaq AP 200 and I don't remember the sound card type. New hardware is HP Pavilion Athlon Dual core. My sound will not share. That is, if I run Realplayer to stream radio, no KDE notifications will sound. If I stop Realplayer, then KDE notification will sound. I have a MCP51 High Definition Audio card. KDE is configured with ALSA, full duplex (same problem with full duplex off). I have tried other options in KDE: autodetect, same problem; OSS, only KDE sound works (no sound with Realplayer); Jack, no sound. KMIX shows only 1 PCM device. Under 9.3 KDE 3.5.? there were 2 PCM devices, and KDE volume was controlled by one and Realplayer volume, when running, by the other. Any thoughts? -- Regards, Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
