I have a computer with no sound ( yes it's an old 486 there is still one of these around :) ). The thing is that whenever i try to start a gnome program it tries to search /dev/dsp for a sound card (permision denied), fails, gives me a message : Sound device inadequate for Esound. Fatal. and then sometimes it starts but usually segfaults. Anyway around this? BTW i am using gnomever 1.0.5-3 BTW2 the full mesage: /dev/dsp: Permission denied Audio device open for 44.1Khz, stereo, 16bit failed Trying 44.1Khz, 8bit stereo. /dev/dsp: Permission denied Audio device open for 44.1Khz, stereo, 8bit failed Trying 22.05Khz, 8bit stereo. /dev/dsp: Permission denied Audio device open for 22.05Khz, stereo, 8bit failed Trying 44.1Khz, 16bit mono. /dev/dsp: Permission denied Audio device open for 44.1Khz, mono, 8bit failed Trying 22.05Khz, 8bit mono. /dev/dsp: Permission denied Audio device open for 22.05Khz, mono, 8bit failed Trying 11.025Khz, 8bit stereo. /dev/dsp: Permission denied Audio device open for 11.025Khz, stereo, 8bit failed Trying 11.025Khz, 8bit mono. /dev/dsp: Permission denied Audio device open for 11.025Khz, mono, 8bit failed Trying 8.192Khz, 8bit mono. /dev/dsp: Permission denied Audio device open for 8.192Khz, mono, 8bit failed Trying 8Khz, 8bit mono. /dev/dsp: Permission denied Sound device inadequate for Esound.
