Are you running KDE. It sounds like the kde sound server (arts) not releasing the dsp to arts unaware software. Try killing the sound server in the KDE COntrol Center and seeif that changes it. If it does, you can try setting the idle suspend to a shorter time, or leave it off completely. - -- Greg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+RpR5wDpHP6GALAARAu/5AJ9ZFVbeWTrPkD3wQ42Da9fDloO/1ACePYCh 1CqGHLCpBOZe5mQc5h5DOyc= =sIcs -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
