chmod 777 /dev/dsp

rrfish72@rrfish72:~$ chmod 777 /dev/dsp
chmod: changing permissions of `/dev/dsp': Operation not permitted
rrfish72@rrfish72:~$ su
Password:
root@rrfish72:/home/rrfish72# chmod 777 /dev/dsp

I still get nothing.

Here is my external plalyer:

[Misc]
External player=kplayer
LastConfiguredApp=Automatic Proxy Configuration
Use external player=true
Volume=100

[StartProgress]
Arts Init=false
KNotify Init=true
Use Arts=false

Change to Arts Init=true and UseArts=true. Then try again.

Still nothing. I don't understand whta is happening. In root acct it works great and sounds good.
[Misc]
External player=kplayer
