Hi Luke,
If using KDE, in the system settings console you
should be able to find an icon or setting relating
to sound or multimedia.
In there will likely be an 'auto-suspend' setting.
I find that things work well if I have the "auto
suspend if idle after..." setting selected as one
second only.
See if that works (this, again is if you're using
KDE - 'fraid I don't know with other desktops).
Regards,
Patrick

[SLUG] FC 5 sound problem

Hi.
I know theres some sound experts on this list.
Im running kernel 2.6.18-1.2239.fc5
Realplayer 10.0.8
I have this problem where I try running realplayer after Ive used the
sound device through another application (usually through opera).
I get a
/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Cannot open the audio device. Another application may be using it.'
\______________
I cant get the machine to release the sound card.
This is a recurring problem. At times I can kill artsd. Other times
there is no artsd running.
The only way Ive gotten my sound back is rebooting.
But that is so reminiscent of windows I dont want to go there any more.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Kr.
Luke.
