I had that problem with Mandrake 8.0, kernel-2.4.3-20mdk, and alsa when I
first built it. It works now. What I did was go to Kcontrol -> Sound->Sound
server and change it (I think it is on the second tab) from "Autodetect" to
OSS. I also added a bunch of lines to my modules.conf to get all that damn
oss-compatibility modules to load...and I had to add a line to my rc.local to
specifically load the correct snd-card module. For my system, that is an
AC97 soundcard (via686a). So, I added this line to rc.local:
insmod snd-card-via686a
That did it. You could try and find the module for your soundcard/system in
the /lib/modules/2.2.x/misc directory and then add a similar line to your
rc.local. Even with EVERYTHING loaded except that soundcard module, artsd
would complain as it has for you...and of course I would get no sound because
I didn't have the driver loaded.
