    Hi,

    Everytime KDE loads up it tells me it can't access or start or something the "/dev/dsp". Is there any kid of application or command I can run that will automaticly probe my sound card and install the driver, I really want my sound to work. It's sad, I either have Video card problems or sound card problems haha.

    I wish I could give You more info, But I'm at TAFE at the moment, I have exams on.. Yay.

    Well, I better go and study now, I have a DC~AC power supply exam.

    good luck with your exams , is it complaining about permission ?

    make sure that you are in the audio group and make sure the permission of the dsp are correct
    Code:
    crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 2007-11-29 13:49 dsp
    Linux is not only an operating system, it's a philosophy.

    Yes, i suppose it is, i know this error.
    Probably this means that he is not in the Audio-group.

    @gregxcott
    You can check that with the command
    groups
    There the groups are beig listet, in which you are.
    When there is no audio, you should do the following:
    su -
    [Root-Passwort]
    adduser [yourusername] audio
    Strg-D (to logout)
