Don't know if this helps, but I find that if I've used a java applet in Firefox that uses sound, it never releases the sound device. The solution for that has been to quit Firefox and re-start it. That also tends to bring about a speed improvement, since FF's java garbage collection seems to be pretty poor. -- Michael A. Marsh http://www.umiacs.umd.edu/~mmarsh http://mamarsh.blogspot.com
