Hello: Everything was pointing to /dev/dsp. First I set the OSS plugin to /dev/sound/dsp which allowed it to play. I then set up the ESound Daemon (esd) with the correct device specified.
the Commands were esd -d /dev/sound/dsp & esdctl unlock Now for the question, where do I put these commands so that they automatically start (my computer is dual boot, & my wife still uses Windows XP, so I have to restart the computer a lot).

UNfortunately, this gives the same error.
