I have a powerbook g3 and I can't seem to get any sound out of it.

After booting into linux and starting KDE, I get an error message:

Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (no such device) The sound server will
continue,using the null output device. 

/dev/dsp does exist though.  Can anyone tell me how I can fix this?

Thanks in advance,

-Katsumi
