Hey i'm brand new to linux but have been messing with it for a little while. I keep running into a big problem with my sound no mater what i change on it, it comes up with an error that i need to run comand artswapper or setuid to root , i've tried that and it doesn't work. I'm currently running mandrake linux v 9.1 plz respound if anyone can help me.

Not enough info: what sound card, when and where does it happen? What do you it before it happens?

oh ok heres what the sound card is : its Soundblaster Live! . it occurs once i have the KEB display loads it comes up with a warning saying it needs me to setuid as root or run artswapper command. before the KEB display loads i start up the system and login under my username once it loads everything and the window display is shown it says that warning
