Stephen:

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.

Best regards, Erwin

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
device /dev/dsp can't be open ........
.........

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.
