When logging into KDE I see the following message. Not all the time.
Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver

The sound server will continue, using the null output device.
As root, do: chmod 666 /dev/dsp chmod 666 /dev/dsp1 chmod 666 /dev/mixer
OK, I tried this: Installed the alsa-utils , alsamixergui, and newt packages. Make a backup copy of /etc/modules.conf. Ran alsaconf in a root terminal.
If I try to run alsa mixer I get "permission denied"
Continuing saga....
OK, I rebooted and don't get the sound permission error on the console, but I DO get the error when connecting with VNC.
I can't run Alsa Mixer from a VNC X session due to permission problem either. Is that normal? I don't care that much about using sound when I'm connected remotely, I would just like to eliminate the errors. Thanks.
