Try change your /dev permission.
I have an onboard soundcard that is AC97 and I've been having problems with it. For like the first 10-15 minutes, all of the sounds work just fine, but after that, sound just stops for some odd reason. The only things that I've found that works are Console beeps and my Line in. Yes, the volume is up, and yes, I've tried the /etc/init.d/alsa-autoconfig, but that didn't work either.
Also, an error that I get when trying to play sounds with xmms and some other things is:
Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (Device or resource busy)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device.
here is the output of lsmod:

If you need any other info, I'll be willing to give it.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Try change your /dev permission.
Thanks for the reply, but I'm not exactly sure how to do that. Could you tell me how please? Thanks.
Open System-->More application--->File manager su mode.
Konquerer will open, go to settings--->load view profile-->file mangement.
Go to root folder -->dev.
Right click on folder dev--->properties--->go to permission tab--->advanced permission--->tick on all write entries-->save.
If you rather use commandline, read this: http://www.cae.wisc.edu/fsg/linux/li...rmissions.html
Well, it works right now, but I just restarted.. So I'll get back to you in the morning on it's status. Hopefully it works.
:EDIT: It's morning and it's still working.. this is much longer than it normally works. Thanks!
Well, the sound works and I thank you for that, but...
I've found that more than one program can't play sounds at once. Example: I'm currently listening to a radio station through xmms, but I don't hear a sound at all when I receive a message through Gaim.. even if I pause xmms, but if I completely stop play in xmms, I can hear Gaim sounds, but then I have to close xmms and Gaim to start playing things in xmms again.
Anyone have any idea why this could be or is it just like that?
Ok.. sounds have completely stopped again. Someone help please?
