<div dir="ltr">Were you already with a sound player open? If so, close it, restart your browser (or computer if you wish), and try again without any other applications using the sound board. Tell me if it still won't work. <div class="gmail_quote">2008/9/9 ssc1478 <<a href="mailto:ssc1478@aim.com">ssc1478@aim.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I'm trying to use a java app that gets started with java webstart. I have java-6-sun-1.6.0.06 installed. When the app starts, I get an error that there is a problem with the sound device. In the help, one of the possibilities is something else already has a lock on the device. I found some info on google, but only one regarding sound it didn't work. Has anyone else run into this problem? Any ideas what I could try?
