[SLE] RealPlayer G2 on SuSe 6.2

Yesterday, I finally got sound going on my Linux setup. I downloaded RealPlayer G2 and it worked beautifully. Today, RealPlayer run but no sound coming out. All other sound functions still work. I can still play my CD, have system sound BUT no sound when I run RealPlayer. /var/log/message said kernel: Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? but KDE sound still work. I have re-installed RealPlayer 3 times now, still no sound when I run the RealPlayer. Any help is appreciated.

Hi, from /usr/src/linux-2.2.10.SuSE/Documentation/Changes: Current releases of Real Player 5.0 depend on a bug in the sound sub-system which is no longer there. Consequently, they don't work. Real is aware of the problem and should have an updated version of the software available shortly. In the mean time, you can always try backing up your copy of rvplayer, and then editing it by: dd if=/dev/zero of=rvplayer bs=1 count=1 seek=657586 conv=notrunc dd if=/dev/zero of=rvplayer bs=1 count=1 seek=665986 conv=notrunc If you're lucky, you'll then have sound.... You may also need to edit it with dd if=/dev/zero of=rvplayer bs=1 count=1 seek=702554 conv=notrunc as well. Alternately, download rpopen from http://onramp.i2k.com/~jeffd/rpopen/ and pre-load it before you run rvplayer (it's a shared object which blocks rvplayer from doing the NONBLOCKing open of /dev/dsp). Don't know, if this applies for RealPlayer G2 too, but maybe it helps, bye!
