I am using OSS and I get sound thru Licq and thru Javaicq and when I
play a cd in Xplaycd or whatever its called, but I still dont get sound
in Netscape when I use Lycos chat.  Its suppposed to alert me to when my
friends come online just like it does in WIndows but Netscape doesnt
make any sound whatsoever.....any ideas why? 


Thanks
Brandon
