Description of problem: VT8233 AC97 Audio Controller doesn't work with arts in KDE. While in GNOME, the Audio controller works well.

The sound server will continue, using the null output device. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: arts in KDE does not work for VT8233 AC97 Audio Controller Expected results: Additional info:
It looks like that there's a permission problem with the sound device. if you do ls -l /dev/audio* /dev/dsp*, you will see the owner of the devices. Are you the owner of this devices? If you reboot your machine, and try to login in KDE, does it work for you?
