Hi, When I boot up and log in, sounds don't play. Then I chmod a+rw /dev/dsp and sounds do play. Fine. But when I shut down and boot up again, the permissions have reverted to crw-------, and sounds don't play again. What gives? Also, has anyone been able to get the system sounds in the KDE control panel to work? I can play the .wav files from a shell, but nothing I do in the control panel has any effect.
