You need to describe more precisely when and how you get the message. Pops up a window, if you log in a user session? Do you start an app and the app opens an error window? >No sound at all in linux. Ok, here 'linux' seemingly is for the install as a whole, the kernel and applications. >I solved this by reinstalling linux, but I don't want to reinstall all >the time. this is strange. Do you reinstall 'linux' the kernel, or do you reinstall everything? However, after reinstalling sound works for a while and after a while it stops working? For what purpose do you need sound? Do you want to hear sound made by a desktop environment? If you open a browser, to listen to the sound of a video? When running a virtual synth? What window manager/desktop environment do you run? Unity, GNOME, KDE, Xfce ...? What distro? Ubuntu, Suse, Debian ...? Is jack installed? Yes? No? You don't know?
