Hi everyone. I have a sound problem too, but tried the link just below
and that works GREAT on RealPlayer. Nice video and audio. I wonder if
that means that I really don't have an audio problem but rather I need
to turn some switches/buttons etc on...
I sure would like RealPlayer to come up when I bring up WWW.CNN.COM and
ask for their audio track. That no longer works for me since upgrading
to FC2???
