I had a similar issue with an Centos 6 Appliance install. It would recognize 
the onboard sound card, but would not play sound - and give many of the 
symptoms you have.


The solution was use another card.


The issue is a conflict between the sample rate that the card driver wants to 
see and what the setting is in RDAdmin.


In my case, the card driver wanted to see 48000 but setting 48000 in RDAdmin to 
match (and resolve the play bar moving/no audio) would cause all sorts of audio 
quality issues.


A new card resolved it and we've been rock solid since.


Hope this gives you something to go on.

Hi,

Done a little more testing with a Centos 7 Appliance install. What I can now 
say is that the problem is only there on the new script installed machines, and 
not with the Broadcast Appliance machines. I've installed all of the test 
machines on separate HDDs so I can switch between them. I must admit that this 
is where my level of knowledge on the backend of the system ends. Any ideas 
would be very much appreciated.

Oh, before I forget, a happy Easter to everyone here on the mailing list.

Andy
