Whenever I start a new session I get an error message saying that arts could not take control of the sound device. Does anyone know a way round this?

I am running SuSE 9.0 Pro on an AMD Athlon 1GHz with SoundBlater Live! 5.1

I had a similar problem that was caused by an incorrect option setting for the soundcard. (No assurance that your problem has a similar cause, of course.) One thing to check is what happens when you run alsaconf. If you can't get sound out of alsaconf's test, then the problem is probably related to the details of the soundcard installation. Otherwise it's at a higher level. Paul Abrahams
