Ok some luck # /sbin/fuser -v /dev/dsp USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/dsp mgupta 1140 f.... gaim After killing gaim, when I now try to play any sound, nothing comes out. My mind might be playing tricks, but I think there is a faint blip that I hear when RealPlayer tries to play any sample audio clip, which then fades into silence I ran "sndconfig" thinking it might help, but I cannot hear any sound. Following is the what /var/log/messages contains now: ------------------------------------------- Jan 6 14:24:09 ose003 kernel: Intel 810 + AC97 Audio, version 0.21, 16:10:15 May 23 2003 Jan 6 14:24:09 ose003 kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:1f.5 Jan 6 14:24:09 ose003 kernel: i810: Intel ICH2 found at IO 0x2400 and 0x2000, IRQ 11 Jan 6 14:24:09 ose003 kernel: i810_audio: Audio Controller supports 6 channels.

Another application may beusing 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".
