I don't have a sound card on my Powerbook yet but I need to hear 
sound both in KDE and in sound processing apps. I have a PB G3 
(1999-2000) 500Mhz  'new world'.

Every time I bootup Yellow Dog Linux 2.2  I get two error messages 
concerning the
sound server:

1) sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (no such device)
The sound server will continue,using the null output device.

2)sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
SNDCTL_DSP_SETFMT failed - invalid argument.
The sound server will continue,using the null output device.

Needless to say I have no sound in KDE although /dev/dsp exists. Xmms 
only works if I choose the output plugin 'esound Output plugin 1.2.5' 
[libesdout.so]
with Wave Player 1.2.5 [libwav.so] to play .wav sound files.

How do I get KDE to find and open the dsp and make system sounds?

Any help will be most appreciated,
Keith Cross
