And I think that was my problem. It would only play one sound at a time |
28 |
and some things hogged up the sound system. Mine makes a sound when I |
29 |
change desktops for instance and it would hold onto the sound system for |
30 |
a minute or so before other sounds could use it. |

It has been a while so I couldn't remember the details, just that it |
33 |
wasn't working right. It works now tho. I played a video and changed |
34 |
desktops and could hear them both. Yeppie !! No arts system. |
