No. Unsucessful. The miniOpera 4.1 failed to locate the installed JVM.

Any new idea?Suggestions?

I have uninstalled ane reinstalled Garnet and that doesn't help. Any suggestions? And does anyone else have this type of problem?

No. N810, N800, 770 all run fine with some simple game like Classics. 770 chokes a little bit on sound upon switching different games but re start the game always fix it.

Yes, I have similar problem. Sound works fine, then something happens and sound no longer works until device reboot. Closing/starting GVM does not help and even some other programs using audio (scummvm) are silent too until reboot. Some others do work though (internet radio applet) I can often reproduce it when just launching anything, then go to general palmos preferences and disable system sound (to prevent click on tap sounds). When doing this device squeaks an hisses and then audio stops completely.

For me reboot cures it always, no need to reinstall/reformat or anything like that.

Happens both with N800/OS2007 and N810/OS2008. It happened also with previous garnetvm version.

Hmm, does running /etc/init.d/esd restart do anything when the sound messes up?

Unfortunately, no. But thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for confirming the problem. I found for me that certain games are causing the problem. There's no problem with Mazera or Robo. But Arvale is another story. If I run Arvale and exit the game by hitting the Esc key on the tablet, there is no problem with the sound. But if I exit Arvale by tapping Quit on the menu, then that's when the sound problem happens. I exit out of Garnet and then rerun Garnet and no sound in any game.

Thanks for mentioning the rebooting fix. I tested that again and found that rebooting the tablet with it plugged in doesn't fix the sound problem. My tablet has to be unplugged and rebooted for the sound problem to go away. So rebooting this way does fix it fine. At least for now it's nice to know there is a way to fix it.

You may already know this, but when a tablet is plugged in, shutting down, powering up, and rebooting all just change runlevels. The Internet Tablet OS keeps running in there behind the "Charging" screen, so if some underlying bit of the OS has gone wonky, shutting down with external power connected won't make the wonky go away.

Which, since the GVM should be shut down in the process, is probably the nature of the problem...

You don't need a hotsync name. All you have to do is enable network hotsync on you pc side (I am using windows xp) and input the ip address of your pc in garnet vm (I am using a router so 192.168.1.102 is mine... you can find yours by looking at your TCP/IP settings).

The "chosen number" i was referring to was your palm ID number. Garnet automatically gives you one, but if you are starting via shortcut you need to manually choose one. I just looked at the one garnet vm gave me, and chose that. Mine was 12 digits/letters I believe.
