Can not play sound in Linux RHEL5.
Hi All,
Recently I installed Linux RHEL5 on my machine. It seems that I can not play sound on RHEL5. I have real player installed along with RHEL5 but, when I try to play any song, the error message comes up saying "Can not open the audio device.Another application may be using it."
Does any one has any idea how to enable sound and debug this issue?
