Audio problem & Internet use

I listen to radio programs but if I try to use the Internet, the audio
stops. This happens with Firefox and Safari. I have an Imac, OS 10.4.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Cable modem. I can use the Internet and listen to audio if I use TWO
browsers.

I listen to Italian radio (RAI). Broadcast from Italy and the audio
is quite good. Once I try to go to another site, audio stops. The
speed is 1500 (Thanks a lot for the tip).

Are you listening to streaming audio in the browser itself? It sounds
like you might just be closing the page that the audio is streaming
from, at which point it will (by design) stop. You'll have to leave that
page open. You can minimize it and create a second browser window to
keep browsing.
