I'm using Mandrake6.1 with the G2realplayer (also with licensed OSS driver). Here's the problem: Whenever I use the G2player, it would only play for a few seconds and then it would be silent. At the same time it goes silent, the timer on G2player goes really slow and erratic. Not only does the G2player go silent but so does all other audio applications like the MP3 players. Even "soundoff" and then "soundon" does not remedy the situation. The only way so far is to do a reboot. Has anyone had similar experiences or suggestions? Seve
