G'day all, Earlier this year I set up an old PII400 for the kids to do school work and (of course) games. It is running FC6 and KDE 3.5.5-0.2.fc6. When originally setting up the box I had trouble getting the sound working, but the kids didn't really mind so I left it, thinking it was the sound card at fault. A couple of weeks ago some notification sounds were heard. Last night one daughter got sound on both Gcompris and Childsplay. I did nothing and she has no idea what she did to get it going. But the sound on these games is only working on her login only, no one else's. This morning I still get the same KDE error from the control centre Test Sound which I got at the start of the year, saying: Error while initializing the sound driver. device: default cannot be opened for playback (Device or resource busy) The sound server, will continue using the null output device. If all is being sent to /dev/null why do I have sound? KDE control centre says Alsa is being used but rpm -q alsa says it is not installed. Control centre settings are the same for all users. Now the other kids have heard sound on the bigger sister's login, they want Gcompris and Childsplay to have sound for them too. I guess I need to fix it now, but where do I start? Thanks Simon Slater and kids
