Re: OSS Technical Support Request by robert

OK.  Here's what I found out:

1) If I just "soundon", I can play (via the "play" program) WAV files w/o
   problem.
2) However, I am unable to use RealPlayer:
   a) When I bring up RealPlayer G2, it just comes out with a hissing sound.
   b) When I bring up RealPlay (the old real player a.k.a. "rvplayer"),
      it just hangs.

I would like to be able to play RealAudio.  Is there any way I could do this?

Thanks.
