this is what I found when I restarted the session: Sound server informational message: Error while initializing the sound driver: device /dev/dsp can't be opened (Permission denied) The sound server will continue, using the null output device. well with my limited linux knowledge I assume that /dev/dsp has to be set to user ;-) - but not with chmod u+.... I presume, there should be a reason why it is limited to root. Has it something to do with groups, do I have to set the permission to the sound group? and doing this with chmod or another tool? additionally I ran sndconfig (0.7) to configure my soundcard but did not suceed. The automatically detected soundcard did not produce any sound. The soundcard I choose manually is a Sound Blaster Pro 16 kompatibles Sound System, but the test sound does not appear as well. thanks in advance, cheers Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
