Question No sound (/dev/dsp) in new X session


My sound work OK on my Mandrake v10 desktop but, when I start a new KDesktop (a second X session), I got an error message telling me that the device /dev/dsp is unavailable (no right...). Then, the sound doesn't work in that session but is always working in the first one...

Why?!?!

What do I need to have my sound working in all my sessions?!?

Thanks for any help!

If I understand well your question, I can tell you that audio is the group actually defined and with no rights on those "directory":

/dev/dsp
/dev/mixer

The owner is me and I have all rights on them...do you want me to replace audio group by the sys group? Why?!? Do I need to add right also?!?

Thanks!
