Fedora 8 crash cursor stuck.

Yes something goes wrong when it tries to access the audio. I don't have the Linux knowledge to help you troubleshoot it.

But do you have sound in general for other applications? Do you have any application capable of play .ogg files and does so successfully? Do you have any games you could try to play that use OpenAL, do they work?

I can play back audio in flash on firefox fine and the KDE warning/alert sounds work. I just played back a .ogg file from Vorbis.com as a test it worked fine. So Audio seems like a go. I will try to later put in a different sound card and see if I can get it to work.

If you think of anything else please let me know.
