RE: Sound problem.
Make sure you user is a member of the audio group. As by default /dev/dsp is only rw to root and the group audio.
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 Jul 22 14:54 /dev/dsp

Subject: Sound problem.
I have a problem with sound under debian woody.
Just installed over the net and everything is running fine, except the
sound.
When I start X I get this 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
-------
In /dev I find dsp, dps1, dsp2 and dsp3 all set to crw-rw----
I might have done something wrong during installation when the sound
configuration was up. However, I don't quite remember. Used tasksel to
chose most things to install, only things I added with dselect was
mysql, and php4. So you know what kind of packages I have installed.
How do I correct this? I don't NEED sound but it would be nice to have
it working.
