Error while initializing the sound driver for a Creative Labs SB Audigy 2 ZS
 
I am having a little trouble in KDE. I am running debian etch. I was using gnome for a little while but did not like it so I installed KDE using Synaptic. When I log in as my username I get this error message "Error while initializing the sound driver: device:default can't be opened for playback (No such file or directory) The sound server will continue, using the null output device.

This is the lspci-v print out of the soundcard info:
00:0c.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy (rev 04)

Any help would greatly be appriate becasue sound works when I log into gnome but not KDE :(.

I'm having the same problem on Sarge; I noticed that in the dev folder there is no dsp device at all, but there is a snd device; I think KDE might have to be reconfigured to use /dev/snd, but I have absolutely no clue how to do that.
