Re: [kde] No sound at all with kde

I see this mesage on new installs of slackware and if you have the same
problem it's easy to fix.

Check the permissions on /dev/dsp. It may be that you will have to change your
permissions to give users access. /dev/dsp is actually a symlinc
to /dev/sound so you'll need to change that permission too.

Hi,
I installed kde some weeks ago, all is working fine now except the
sound. I have no sound at all and yes Arts is installed (but maybe
not well configured?).

When trying to activate the sound system in kcontrol>sound system, I
have this message:

Error while initializing the sound driver
Couldn't connect to server
The sound server will continue, using the null output device

I'm not sure to understand what it means. I have no idea what I
should do I didn't find any helpful hint in the kde home page.

Do someone know how to enable sound?
Please help me to configure kde to have sound.

My configuration:
-----------------------
mac ibook ppc g4
kde 3.5.3 installed with fink
