Running YDL3 on an 8600 with a similar no-sound problem (Sound has 
never worked). Original fix from the list -- turning the sound 
control to low quality (8-bit) and then back up to 16 -- didn't fix 
it.

Running "touch /dev/dsp" and then "startx" still has kde reporting:

"device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such device)

"The sound server will continue, using the null output device."

Indeed, when I reboot it  gets to :

Saving mixer settings and  stuff about aumix and reports FAILED.

What gives?
