Today i lost sound and it says that mcop's permissions were changed. Also a few other things got change to ownership to root but i fixed them all execpt for the sound loss. Im running current with kernel 2.6.12 and a intel8x0. and all i did was Slackbuild nvu and install it

Did you look at /tmp/mcop-bird603568 permissions ?
This directory should belong to your user, if not do :
chown -R bird603568:users /tmp/mcop-bird603568

Did you run the usual alsa tests and is your sound module loaded ?

i reinstalled alsa and it detects the card and i unmuted the channels and still no sound.

It's usualy safe to remove mcop files, they'll be recreated. rm -rf /tmp/mcop-<username> ~/.mcop*
If using KDE, removing knotifyrc file may help also. rm ~/.kde/share/config/knotifyrc
After that log out and log in back in KDE or restart artsd.
