I am ROOT!!!!
(sorry but) WTF is going on ?

what do you expect to happen? they aren't programs or anything, just device nodes.... are they just going to start singing at you??? :confused:

What are you trying to do?

SNAP.

so in conclusion... the second option....

Cuz when i get into KDE it says
error cannot read /dev/dsp or something

I searched google and all the post says
Do a chmod 666 /dev/dsp

and a reply that says
Thanks it works now


It dosent seam to helpme!

chmod 666 /dev/dsp* /dev/mixer* /dev/audio*

should set the permissions for all of those devices to be readable by all users. What are your permissions of these devices ?

ls -al /dev/dsp* /dev/audio* /dev/mixer*

i know his problem, it doesn't have to do with chmod-ing and /dev/dsp. His soundcard isn't supported on his kernel therefore it cant be accessed! just go download ALSA and edit your /etc/rc.d/rc.modules to add your soundcard and your good to go!
