Thanks Daniel...I installed the rpm's from the root account because I have yet to setup my sudoers list. The realplayer icon shows up beautifully in the root sound anv video list but not in the other users. I'll end this thread here...no need to beat it into the ground

Subject: Re: ibook 600 mhz sound only on root account
I believe Norberto is referring to the permissions of the audio entries in
the /dev directory. As for RealPlayer and Flash, it sounds like you
installed them in root's home directory. The solution is to install in a
directory anybody can see. If you installed from the RPMs, this wouldn't
be a problem.
