I am getting sound failures now after upgrading to KDE 3.2. I get /dev/dsp warnings on load and XMMS fails to pick up streams now saying the sound card is held by another application.
I see this is a common error but as yet all I am finding is the debug commands to try and no clear direction on what to change. Thanks for any thoughts you can offer. I can run KsCD and it runs fine.

On the first boot, I got this probably unrelated failure KNotify failed DBUG says: (no debugging symbols found)...[Switching to Process 554, Thread 1] 0x291d9883 in poll () from /usr/lib/libc.so.5 #0 0x291d9883 in poll () from /usr/lib/libc.so.5 #1 0x29067651 in _thread_kern_sched_state_unlock () from /usr/lib/libc_r.so.5 #2 0x29067050 in _thread_kern_scheduler () from /usr/lib/libc_r.so.5 -- Regards, MIKE...
