I downloaded the latest Realplayer and it works fine except for one vital detail. There is no sound. When starting realplay, I do it from a console, A windiw popos up saying, "Cannot open the audio device. Another application might be using it" and in the console i see "/dev/dsp: No such device" I'm running Suse 7.1 with KDE 2.2.1 Any help is appriciated.

Hi, You probably run a windowmanager (KDE, enlightenment) with a soundserver (artsd, esd). Try to find out what is using the audio device: tim@gaia:~ > fuser /dev/dsp /dev/dsp: 1401 tim@gaia:~ > ps 1401 PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 1401 ? S 0:42 /opt/kde2//bin/artsd -F 10 -S 4096 -s 60 -m artsmessa This is a general problem with soundservers. The audio application has to send its output to the server rather than directly to the audio device. I don't know much about RealPlayer, but you could try to configure it to use /dev/audio instead of /dev/dsp. As a last resort, try running RealPlayer from a windowmanager whose sound support is disabled. Regards, Tim On Sun, Oct 07, 2001 at 02:38:52PM +0200, Olle Viksten wrote:

This does not surprise me I had sound in windoze, until I installed a new version browser and Realplayer took over everything and screwed the whole sound system over. (and still no sound)
