The permissions for /dev/dsp are set wrong. You need to change them (as root) to "crw-rw-rw-" with the command
chmod 666 /dev/dsp
This fixed it for my, ymmv.

Hi all folks,
I just upgrade my RH7.3 box to RH8.0 At start it prompts following
warning
Error while initializing the sound drive

The sound card is built on board on 2thMax 8KHA motherboard. I think it
uses Yamaha 724 sound card.
Kindly advise how to correct this problem
Thanks in advance.
