I had a similar problem with my sound card (onboard). I figured it was just because the sound card was bad (in windows it intermittently blue-screens my system). If you use XMMS, does it say that your sound card is in use, and that you can't play the sound? That's what happened to me, and then when I wait about 30 seconds, and try again, it works.
I switched sound cards last night (disabled on-board and added a creative Live) and now it seems to be working perfectly. Just a thought if you have a similar situation. Sorry I don't have a remidee though :-/ -Jon On Sat, 2002-10-12 at 03:37, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hello, > I've just installed Redhat 8.0, and based on information that I got from this > mailing list, I know that RH 8.0 does not have mpeg movie player.
