I updated my SuSE 7.0 to KDE2 last week, but I'm unable to get any sound application running. They all complain artsd is not running, and it in turn complains:
Error while initializing the sound driver: device /dev/dsp can't be opened (Operation not permitted)
...and now I'm stuck... I tried resetting and reinstalling the sound card in YaST2, and once, just once, this helped, but I've not been able to repeat this.
It looks like you do not have the proper permissions to access the audio devive /dev/dsp. Did you add your account to the group "audio"?
