[AUDIO] Cant open device

[seb]

Whenever i log in, i get the following message:

******
Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (Permission denied)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device.
******

I have tried to change the permissions of /dev/dsp, by
chmod 777 /dev/dsp as root, and this is only a temporary solution.
I run MDK 10.0 official (2.6.3-7mdk), and i used to have audio output - but i lost it when i upgraded to KDE 3.2.2.

Any help much appreciated!

Hello
This is just a message from the arts sound server in KDE, which is used for system sounds within KDE, if you go into the KDE control panel you can disable the arts sound server.
Can you play sounds through Xmms or the CDplayer ?

I cant play audio AT ALL without changing the permissions...

I have played around with /etc/security/console.perms but i have had no success what so ever in getting audio without manually changing permissions everytime i log in.

Please remember that my problem only started happening when i upgraded to kde 3.2.2. Previous to the installation, my audio was fine.

I tried to add another user, and when i logged in as that user - audio worked. They were not part of the audio group, and everything was standard. however, now when i log in - no audio...

Any help is much appreciated.
