Hello everybody! First some lines to introduce me: Linux is a hobby of me and I have some experiences with installing Suse, RedHat , Mandrake and some (bad ;-) ) experiences with debian. Now I am using mandrake 8.1; some experiences with working with command line too. My problem is that after starting realplayer8 I`ve got following msg: Cannot open audio device! Maybe another application is using it. My soundcard is a SB64 ,driver Esonique 1370, kde 2.2.2, kernel 2.4.8-34.1mdk, securitylevel medium and tiny firewall installed. Iīve tried to change the permissions of /dev/audio and /dev/mixer with chmod -c 666 and chmod a=rw. After restarting the system there were the old permissions ( crw---------). Afriend of mine suggested that there is a problem with PAM too. Or it could be a PATH problem. As a newbie I donīt know the commandline methods to solve these problems and with the help forum of realplayer8 I have problems to understand what I have to do. Is there anyone how could support me? thanks in advance Hannes
