Cannot open the audio device. Another application may be using it

Hi folks

I'm an absolute newbie, so please be gentle.

Yes, I have searched this list, and googled, but I haven't been able to get the sound working. I also want to add that I had this similar problem few weeks ago, which I then somehow resolved, but two days ago, RealPlayer 10 started complaining "Cannot open the audio device. Another application may be using it".

Here are some details:

I have tried the "restart" mantra of the windoze world to no avail

Please advise

Thanks
