It may be using esd, a sound demon, and esd might be hogging /dev/dsp.
Try running Netscape under esdcat and seeing if that helps:
esdcat netscape
(Or perhaps better, see if you can figure out how to turn off esd, and
get things back to the old style. Best of all, use NAS. It's a nice
system, but hardly any software seems to use it!)
