About a week ago I started having some sound problems on my laptop. They started with VMware complaining that it couldn't open device /dev/dsp. Now other applications are also complaining or failing. For example, if I log off and log back on, gaim will have sound for a little while. Then it seems like something grabs the sound and won't release it. The only thing I can remember changing a little while ago was installing flash in firefox... Don't see any problems in /var/log/messages either. I've also had some strange problems with my bluetooth mouse, especially the last few days. It had been working fine for a long time but suddenly it's acting weird too. If I reboot, hidd will pick it up, but for no apparent reason it will stop working, and I can't get hidd to pick it back up again. It seems to definitely happen when I start vmware player, but I think it happens at other times too. I'm now running the latest vmware player and latest vmware-any. I ran yum update and updated everything hoping it would somehow magically fix things, but it didn't. Anyone have any suggestions?
