Hi everyone. I have a sound problem too, but tried the link just below and that works GREAT on RealPlayer. Nice video and audio. I wonder if that means that I really don't have an audio problem but rather I need to turn some switches/buttons etc on... I sure would like RealPlayer to come up when I bring up WWW.CNN.COM and ask for their audio track. That no longer works for me since upgrading to FC2???
