Hi:
I've been on this list for a week or so now and I haven't written anything
yet (sorry!). Anyhow, I was working on an upgrade to Slackware. Overall,
I like the changes in the distribution, especially GNOME, but alas this is
not an editorial. This is something I also sent to
alt.os.linux.slackware, but I haven't had access to usenet to follow this
up and was looking for other perspectives anyhow.
I just purged my Slackware 7.0 and replaced it with Slackware 8.0. It has
been my easiest install ever of Slackware, not that installing it is
terribly difficult. I installed Realplayer 8, the one that I have used on
Slackware 7.0. I thought I configured my sound properties
properly. Sound works as both root and regular user. However, for some
reason, I can't get it to play sounds. I get the following message:
Cannot open the audio device. Another application may be using it.
Nothing else that I am aware of is using the sound card at that time. The
card is a CS4232. Despite being cheap and a little awkward to configure,
it works okay. This should be a simple problem to solve, but I am
stumped. If anyone has any suggestions to resolve this problem, I would
appreciate it.
