I am using CentOS 4.5. I bought a USB speaker. Sound works fine.
My problem though is that whatever player I am using "hijacks" the sound.
That is, if I go to youtube or accuradio or whatever (play via mozilla),
then when that is finished, if I try to use xine or realplayer everything
works fine EXCEPT the sound ;-) I have to exit and pkill firefox.
Similarly if I use xine or realplay and later want to hear via firefox
there is no sound. Doing a pkill on xine or realplay is not enough.
I HAVE TO REBOOT.
There should be someway to release the sound device (maybe different in
each case) so something else can use it?
That's what soundservers are for. Are you running PulseAudio? (You don't
say what version of Fedora you have).
He said, "I am using CentOS 4.5". This is a clone of RHELv4. The nahant
list may be a better place to take this query.
