Make sure you user is a member of the audio group. As by default /dev/dsp is only rw to root and the group audio.

I have a problem with sound under debian woody. Just installed over the net and everything is running fine, except the sound. When I start X I get this message: ------- Sound server informational message Error while initializing the sound driver: Device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such device) The sound server will continue, using the null output device ------- In /dev I find dsp, dps1, dsp2 and dsp3 all set to crw-rw---- I might have done something wrong during installation when the sound configuration was up. However, I don't quite remember. Used tasksel to chose most things to install, only things I added with dselect was mysql, and php4. So you know what kind of packages I have installed. How do I correct this? I don't NEED sound but it would be nice to have it working. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
