This may or may not be it, but I know on some systems you can tell the player to use 8-bit rather than 16-bit sound (it's one of the options you set under Preferences menu, as far as I remember). I had to do this on my system to get normal sound. I have one of those MB with built-in SoundPro chip, which I told the sound driver was a WSS device. Setting the option to use 8-bit sound is mentioned in the rvplayer's documentation. This may or may not be what you need, but worst it can do is fail to work :-). -- Evgeny Roubinchtein, eroubinc@u.washington.edu ...................
