no sound

varaahan · 2006-06-09 01:16:46

At start up I get the following error msg:
"Error while initialising the sound drive:
device /dev/dsp can not be opened:
permission denied"

And I get no sound.

I have installed alsa also.

Do you have the OSS emulation stuff in /etc/modprobe.conf? If so, remove it.

I am using 2.6 kernel
No such line in /etc/modprobe.conf
Still the problem continues.

What kind of sound card do you have? And do you module autoloading enabled?

+1

Try to add your user to audio group with:

gpasswd -a your_user audio

Also, did you run alsaconf in root to configure your cards?

alsaconf does not work.
The permissions are rwxrwxrwx.
Still the problem is not solved

Did you get some errors from alsaconf?
Can you tell us what is your soundcard?
