Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on this.

sound and CD-RW did appear to work when I had started my Konqueror File

into Windows) and started back into Linux and the sound and CD-RW were 
inaccessible.

I now have partial sound (no sounds in Gaim but some system alerts are 
working.) I did not make any system changes, except I did start 
Konqueror in su.

Still no access to CD-RW

Oh.. here are the devices:
CD-RW - Optiwrite CD-RW
Sound - Soundblaster 128 (Fedora detects this as an Ensoniq ES1371)
