Fedora Core 3 2.5.10-1.766_FC3 I686
Problem: I occasionally lose the ability to access my CD-RW device and I lose my sound sporatically. These two problems seem to happen simultaneously. I have tried everything that I know to get these devices to work properly with no avail.
Solution Attempts: I have removed/redetected the sound. I have tried mounting and unmounting the CD-RW. It may be coincidence, but the sound and CD-RW did appear to work when I had started my Konqueror File Manager Super User mode. I needed to restart the system (just to get into Windows) and started back into Linux and the sound and CD-RW were inaccessable.
Note: Even when I cannot hear normal system and application sounds, I can play the sample sound under Control Center, Sound & Multimedia, Sound System.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
