Hi,
I've got a weird problem...If i'm online in Gmail (in firefox) , then no audio files can be played...Amarok crashes if i try to open it with Gmail open. Even VLC does not play audio in such a condition....video playback is possible, but again without audio...

However , there is no problem if i start Amarok / VLC BEFORE i login to gmail....Then everything is fine...

I'm running Hardy Heron on a HP presario v3000...This problem has been faced by a friend of mine as well - she's running Hardy on a Dell Vostro 1000.

Is there any solution other than remembering to start playing an audio file before logging into gmail ??
