Artsd is probably running and locking /dev/dsp. Check with the command artsshell, then enter 'status' at the prompt.
If you want the notification, you could start thunderbird with 'artsdsp thunderbird'

Thanks for the quick reply Aveek. When I do artsshell and then status I am getting the message:
status server status: suspended real-time status: real-time server buffer time: 53.288 ms buffer size multiplier: 1 minimum stream buffer time: 53.288 ms auto suspend time: 5 s audio method: alsa sampling rate: 44100 channels: 2 sample size: 16 bits duplex: half device: default fragments: 10 fragment size: 940
I tried to call thunderbird with the command artsdsp thunderbird, but got the error message that it can only be called with a binary. I checked and saw that thunderbird is a start script. Is it possible to do the necessary adjustments in the script to get sound going? Cheers, Guenter
