In follow up to my previous message, I found the silence treatment comes when I run trplayer from a standard user. If I do it from root, it plays loud and clear! I don't get any permission errors under standard user - just silence til the file finishes. Is there a device I need to change the permissions on? I changed permissions on /dev/dsp so mpg123 and play would work under non-root users. Sorry for so much trouble but I'm closing in on this one.:) On Tue, 9 Oct 2001, Steve Holmes wrote: > Well, I tried this and trplayer connects to RealPlayer OK I guess but I > only get silence!!!
