Nvidia sound, /dev/dsp
I'm using Debian Linux 3.1 Sarge. I installed nvidia sound drivers for my nForce2 based motherboard. It includes driver for integrated audio. Some of the programs (media players, KDE) configured to use OSS work properly. When I use K7 kernel integrated ALSA driver it also works OK. But some programs, specially programs with 'use /dev/dsp for sound' in settings, do not see sound device. Does that mean that some programs try to bypass the system driver for direct access? Did I configure my system wrong? Please help.

see what ls -l /dev/dsp gives,
probably the ownership is set at "root root",
open a terminal,
su to root,
chgrp audio /dev/dsp
adduser muxec audio
log out / log in to activate the settings.

Try upgrading KDE to 3.4. I get that error message a lot with KDE3.3.x

3.4? Is it stable?
/dev/dsp group previously was audio and my user is in the group. So it is not the problem.

I tried using GNOME. Programs that did not work with sound previously give broken sound. Programs that worked properly previously still work OK.
What can I do?
