hmm..

It means that some other program has kept open the sound output.
You can find out that what process are using /dev/dsp . To do so use command "fuser" , see its man page for more detail.

Hmm..

Try running following
Code: [Select]
fuser -km /dev/dsp .. it will end all processes using the /dev/dsp .

Then try to use your sound !

Also disable any startup sound used by KDE or Gnmoe etc. To do so  use control center in KDE and in gnome look for sound settings etc.
