ARTS sound message!

[Bolívar]

Tried that too. Besides my "way" to start with sound, when this message 
appear I can have sound again if I use the soundcard detection tool, but 
that resets my volume settings.
Anyone who also have this problem can check if it happens also when logged 
as user instead of root?
I´ve read in a old bugzilla trhead a guy saying this has to do with the 
permissions of the sound device.
