means you have not configured a sound device correctly or the sound
device is unsupported.

the /dev directory is just an interface to the drivers, just because
there is an entry there does NOT mean that there is a device that the
file can interface with. in this case, when gnome tries to access
/dev/dsp it can't because there is no sound driver loaded.

you must configure your soundcard, what kind of soundcard is it?

make sure you are running netscape as the same user you are logged in
as, chances are you ran it as root after doing an 'su' in a terminal
(that is a common thing to have happen)
You CAN run apps under different userids but it takes a couple extra
commands.
