Hi all Ive been looking for most of the day but cant seem to find anything that really helps me. When KDE loads I get the "/dev/dsp cannot be opened debian" message, CD's play fine though, just nothing else, I tried "modprobe sb esstype=1788" (from another preson having this prob) but got device busy/resource busy, the soundcard is a ESS 1778. Below is the output from lsmod and lspci lspci: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 85C501/2 00:01.0 ISA bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 85C503/5513 (rev 01) 00:01.1 IDE interface: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 85C601 (rev 01) 00:06.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems TGUI 9660/968x/968x (rev d3) 00:0d.0 PCMCIA bridge: Omega Micro Inc. 82C092G (rev 02) 00:0e.0 PCMCIA bridge: Omega Micro Inc. 82C092G (rev 02)

I've tried using sndconfig but its asking me to recompile my kernel with soundcore.o (is this my whole problem ?), if so can anyone point me in the right direction. thanks for any help tim btw, am using linux 2.2.19 (woody)
