I had a similar problem. This is what I've done: I started by running draksound. If it detects the soundcard, it will configure the right driver (module) if it doesn't work, click the Trouble shooting button. It gives you a few suggestions to follow. Try it. If that doesn't work, try running alsaconf. That solved it for me. ;-) Good Luck ! Write back if you didn't succeed, I have a few more ideas. .::.

[newbie] Sound is kaput
Hello, I must have done something to break my sound card. It worked a couple of days ago but now when KDE is initilaizing I get the following error message. Error while initializing the sound driver: device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such file or directory) The sound server will continue, using the null output device. I get a similar error when loading Gnome. I'm running MDK 9.2. Thanks for any help you can offer! Brandon Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Please do your best to study and adopt those protocols to ensure a pleasrable experience for all. In the meantime, try using the MCC hardware panel to re-detect your sound card and asign a proper driver module to it. It would also be a big help if you could include additional info regarding which version of Linux and the brand and model of sound card.
