I've installed Longman Dictionary Of Contemporary English on Ubuntu 11.10 but when I click for pronunciation no sound comes out!

try this (because I've been trying many things before it finally worked, which means I may miss some steps and I don't want to re-try coz it may destroy it:-P ) 1) Install getlibs sudo apt-get install getlibs, or download it from http://frozenfox.freehostia.com/cappy/ 2) install alsa-aoss 32 bit getlibs -l libalsatoss.so 3) modify aoss to use 32 bit library vi /usr/bin/aoss and change 'lib' to 'lib32' 4) execute ldoce5 using aoss sudo aoss /XXX/ldoce5/ldoce5

I have some error messages shown with this command so I use '>/dev/null 2>&1' to ignore it

Let me know if it works
