Performed following steps without result;

# ls -l /dev/dsp
crw-------  1 satimis root 14, 3 Jun 22  2005 /dev/dsp
(Owner is 'user' and group 'root')
# chmod 666 /dev/dsp
# ls -l /dev/dsp
crw-rw-rw-  1 satimis root 14, 3 Jun 22  2005 /dev/dsp


# ls -l /dev/sound
crw-------  1 root root 116, 33 Jun 22  2005
/dev/sound
(Owner is 'root' and group 'root')
# chmod 666 /dev/sound
# ls -l /dev/sound
crw-rw-rw-  1 root root 116, 33 Jun 22  2005

Finally I found;

# which artsd
/usr/bin/artsd

I think 'artsd' being defalt installed.

[root localhost ~]# /usr/bin/artsd --help

(It also hung here)

Would the running of 'artsd' has influence.  How to
find out its present status.  TIA
