This is roughly the scenario: 1. I installed rp8--- rpm 2. Could not access audio card got an error message that the card was being used by another program. 3, removed realplayer8 4.Installed RealPlayer9 rpm. 5. My audiocard disappeared. It is still found by hwbrowser, and it still is in the kudzu /etc/sysconfig.hwconf database 6. But redhat-config-soundcard says it can't find the soundcard. Another error I get from some applications is that they can not find /dev/dsp, but this device is there and seems to have the right characteristics. I have removed RealPlayer9 it does not help. rebooting does not help. Any ideas of where to look for the problem? -- ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University One Trinity Place.
