Hi Mark, I didn't realize you had answered my email until I looked into the archive. Don't know the protocol for answering an email once it's been deleted.
Re-running alsamixer after rm asound.state and then alsactl store did the trick. Don't know why sound should fail for *all* players when streaming audio over realplayer after ~ 1/2 hr -- might have something to do with my string-and-can connection to the Web :( Looking forward to hearing more of your adventures w/ your new system. -mw ______________________________________________________ Click here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort. http://store.yahoo.com/redcross-donate3/ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
