: Hi !
:
: On one of my Dell systems (Red Hat Linux 7.2 , Intel 815 chipset sound )
: the sound is not working .
: Whenever user logs in it says ' /dev/dsp: permission denied ' kind of
: error. While it is creating a huge
: '/dev/dsp' file , say 64 MB or so . Any clue to this ?
If the sound device ('/dev/dsp) is owned by root and not
writable by any other user, you'll get this error.
What often happens to me is that I run Esound (the sound
daemon) and then launch an app that tries to use another form
of sound output (oss or something) which brings up this
message. Killing esd or setting the new app to use esd should
cure this.
As for the other problem, I'm not sure how the
permissions/ownership get set exactly on /dev/dsp but I think it belongs
to the first user who logs in on the console? Correct me if I'm
wrong here.
