Sound Problems
Users who have no sound in the videos after installation of RealPlayer 8 may need to change the sound card performance from within RealPlayer. Open the RealPlayer window and from the menu choose View > Preferences, then select the Performance tab and find Sound Card Compatibility. Click the Settings button and Disable 16-bit sound.
