Firefox Realplayer and no sound : Solved

Post by ravengirl1960 »

I'm running Helena and I set up Firefox with the Realplayer Gold 11 from RP's site. I changed
the file associations in preferences for FF to the 'realplay' in /usr/bin. It will attempt to play
the stream but no sound comes out (other streams work fine).

This is the link/stream I tried to play:

EDIT:
I was using the wrong association in Firefox preferences. I changed it to /opt/real/RealPlayer/realplay
and it works fine now. :)
