 | This has probably been asked 1000 times before: how do I get
multimedia sound in Opera 7.50 Linuy?
Preference Multimedia every thing is enabled,
here is a list of plugins
/usr/lib/opera/plugins:
/usr/lib/Acrobat5/Browsers/intellinux:
/usr/lib/realplay:
/usr/lib/netscape/plugins:
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
What am I dooing wrong ???
Thanks
Paul

Opera doesn't use plugins for WAV files, and that's what the setting on
the F12 menu is about. Not that the above is a list of plugins - it is a
list of your plugin folders. I can see that you have Acrobat and
Realplayer (presumably), but not much else.
Back in version 6, Opera apparently used esound. Now, apparently Opera
uses the standard SoundBlaster emulation. Just make sure that some other
part of your sound system isn't running exclusive, or else run Opera
through that ...
Apparently some people start Opera with the command line "artsdsp opera &"
to get Opera to work with KDE's arts sound system. I've never done that, I
can't say if it is supposed to do something.

Actually, we've always just used standard OSS.
artsdsp doesn't work with Opera, because it depends on an LD_PRELOAD
hack that gets overridden by our own LD_PRELOAD hack... Most likely
this can be fixed by changing the line that starts with:
LD_PRELOAD=
to start with
LD_PRELOAD="$LD_PRELOAD":
instead (in /usr/bin/opera).
On the other hand, I still don't know what the original problem was.
Which sound was it opera didn't play?

Thanks, I'll try and get it to work. If not there are so many browsers
around that do not have this problem, I can alway use one of them
