Hi all!
I have an aureal vortex 2 soundcard, and have installed the drivers provided 
at sourceforge.net. I have tried many times to get sound out of computer, but 
it just won't happen. I have tried changing the setting in Sound Server under 
KDE Control Center. When I try to force it to use ALSA, it comes up with this 
message:

-----------

Sound Server informational message:

Error while initializing the sound driver:
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (Invalid argument)

The sound server will continue, using the null output device.

-----------

Sound hasn't come out at all yet, so any help would be greatly appreciated!!
