hiya, I've pottered around and I have a rough idea of the issue now, I needed to load the sound module (insmod sound) I needed to disable arts from kde via the control panel I needed to change the permission for /dev/dsp by chmod a+rw /dev/dsp
And that works at least on this boot up. I checked /etc/modules/conf and it appeared all was kosher (according to some webpages I readup) the error that I was getting before was /dev/dsp can't be opened (no such device) sound server will continue using null device (for root) and as root I could play stuff fine. I like the antialiasing on rh8.0, it makes stuff look much softer and more pleasant that what I had with KDE2 on SuSE 7.3 -kg On 9 Mar 2003, Tathagata Banerjee wrote: > On Sat, 2003-03-08 at 21:56, Kaushik Ghose wrote: > > > my sound system works when I'm root, not otherwise.
