Following your directions, Dhruba I at least get to the point where it tries to open the file and ends with a message saying "Cannot open the audio device. Another application may be using it. I am running OSS drivers on an Nforce based motherboard with onboard sound all other sound apps work properly and no other sound apps are running. I did have mplayer running a while ago but that seems to have shut down cleanly/ Any ideas? I did set OSS in preferences. -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
